I think you're correct on that. I think a commutation would also come at the end of his term. It'd be suicide to do it while the Mueller investigation is going on (and it leaves the door open for Mueller's team to take Trump to Court over it).Originally Posted by Gelston
One interesting thing about the outcome of this trial: it may actually be very beneficial to Mueller. You've got three options in a mistrial as the Prosecutor: let the charges go (doubtful in this case), go back to Court (very possible), or cut a plea deal.
This may bring Manafort back to the table for a potential plea deal- which is ultimately the point of going after Manafort.
