If he doesn't have any dirt or any information about collusion with the Russian government, would Mueller even consider making any kind of a deal?
Let's just assume there was absolutely no collusion with the Russian government, and they acted purely on their own without any knowledge by anyone on the Trump campaign. Who would Manafort testify against? Donald Trump Jr.? Eric Trump? Ivanka Trump? Other than Roger Stone, it seems like everyone else on the Trump campaign has either been found guilty of a crime, or pleaded guilty of a crime. Other than Roger Stone and the Trump family itself, there is no one left to go after.
Here is what I think is happening.... I think that Trump Tower meeting was much more important than any of us can imagine. This is why there has been so many lies about it from the very start. I think this is when they finalized their plans between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. It's possible the Russians went home, filed their reports, and they were mostly likely read by the CIA before they were read by their bosses in Russia. Mueller went to Cohen and said "This is what we know" and that's why he plead guilty to the minor charges and then agreed to cooperate. Mueller went to Manafort and said "This what we know about the meeting, and this is what Cohen told us, so play ball or we send you to prison for the rest of your life AND take away every dime your family has". Manafort is singing like a bird.
We already know there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
This is fact. George Papadopoulos was communicating between a Russian agent in London and bringing it directly to Jeff Sessions - You know, the guy who lied under oath about having contact when the Russians when the truth was he had met with the Russian ambassador multiple times under mysterious circumstances.
This is all a nothing burger, right? If that is the case then there is nothing to worry about at all.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
