This truly would make Trump exactly like any other swampy politician. Manafort is not a "good man" he is a criminal in every sense of the word. Not just because of not paying his taxes and committing fraud but because he sold himself out to corrupt foriegn actors. He is representative of everything Trump claims he hates. Manafort is not patriotic and clearly does not give a crap about his country. He is as much swamp as you can get. But if Trump pardons him the mental gymnastics his supporters will have to go through to convince themselves Trump isn't a slimeball who conned them into thinking he had their interests at heart, will likely cause some heads to explode.
