I don't know the facts either, but I will leave you with this opinion piece by Alan Dershowitz... Does what Dershowitz wrote worry you at all? Is this the way you want our justice system to work?
He said it's clear that Mueller's team is targeting Trump and the people around him, and they're attempting to use Manafort to do so.
"He's a means toward the end. And that's just not the way justice should operate," Dershowitz said. "Civil libertarians have long been opposed of that method of squeezing witnesses -- indicting them for kind of unrelated crimes and then trying to get them to testify against more important people."
He added that a concern is that not only will Manafort "sing," he will "compose," meaning that he might make things up or exaggerate because the better story he tells, the better deal he will get.
