A person must be found guilty of a crime in order to qualify for a pardon.
I don't think parking tickets would be high on the list, TheDonald.
Just admit that the only reason trump could have for pardoning Manafort is because he's in deep doo-doo.
Not according to yurtsie.
Who would spend taxpayer money to convict an innocent man. See Manafort is innocent even if proven guilty. Waste of time for all

Podesta lobby group did not disclose extent of work for Ukrainian campaign advised by Paul Manafort
One of Washington's most powerful lobbying firms did not disclose the wide extent of its lucrative political work for a Ukrainian group tied to both onetime Trump adviser Paul Manafort and to pro-Russian politicians, new records show.
The firm, the Podesta Group, said nothing in a 2012 lobbying report to Congress about at least 32 meetings, emails and other communications it had with the State Department, at a time when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was scrutinizing Ukraine's upcoming election, records show.
The new disclosures shed light on the web of contacts between Russian-leaning Ukrainians, Washington lobbyists and U.S. policymakers during the Obama administration. The Podesta Group filed new, detailed lobbying disclosures in April to augment lobbying reports from 2012 to 2014 that had given little detail.
The firm is run by Tony Podesta, whose brother, John, is a longtime adviser to Clinton and was chairman of her 2016 presidential campaign. John Podesta was a senior counselor to President Barack Obama in 2014 and had previously been lobbying partners with his brother.
In addition to its undisclosed contacts with the State Department, the Podesta Group did not disclose some contacts it had between 2012 and 2014 with Vice President Joe Biden's office, the National Security Council and Congressional offices, the records show.
Legal experts challenged the Podesta Group's interpretation, saying in interviews that any meeting with State Department officials monitoring a foreign election constitutes lobbying that must be reported to Congress under federal law.
Joseph Sandler, a Washington attorney who advises DEMOCRAT and Republican lobbyists, said that giving the State Department information about a foreign election would constitute lobbying. "For what other purpose would they be providing this information if not to influence this election?" Sandler said.
The European Centre for a Modern Ukraine was formed in 2012 by three senior members of the Party of Regions, a pro-Russia party led by President Viktor Yanukovych and advised by Manafort.
In the two weeks before and after Ukraine's election, the Podesta firm had near-daily contact with the State Department, holding seven meetings, conducting "outreach" on seven days and having conversations or email exchanges on 11 days, including with top department officials. The Podesta Group also had contact with the National Security Council on seven days in that same period.
"They were pretty open about their purpose being to give a positive perspective on the upcoming election," said a former State Department employee whom the Podesta Group met.
But the firm disclosed none of that work with State and the NSC in the lobbying report it filed with Congress for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Although the Podesta Group said they believed the center was an independent group that was not funded or directed by Ukraine's government, lobbying reports show extensive work for Ukraine's government.
The Podesta Group said it arranged meetings with unnamed "Ukrainian officials." One of those meetings connected Ukraine's foreign minister Leonid Kozhara met with Senator Christopher Murphy, a Connecticut DEMOCRAT who was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Europe subcommittee, Murphy spokesman Chris Harris said.

Oh, hi
Who is yurtsie and where did he or she say that?
USFREEDOM911
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Who??
Liberals, that's who.
Just look at how they tried to railroad Zimmerman and then Wilson.
Take the fall for what? The only thing Trump did was win.
This is all about Hillary not being a two time loser, which is already set into history.
You voted for a loser, because that is what you are

You realize you're gloating to a banned troll, right?
One who I strongly suspect was a liberal who trolled as a retard to make conservatives look foolish, I might add.
