NEW: The judge in Paul Manafort's Virginia case has cancelled the sentencing hearing scheduled for Feb. 8, saying the resolution of the "current dispute" in Manafort's DC case — whether he lied and violated his plea deal — "may have some effect on the sentencing decision" 
There hasn't been much discussion about the consequences of a plea deal breach on Manafort's EDVA case — he's going to be sentenced for crimes the EDVA jury found him guilty of, not pursuant to any plea agreement (which was entered in his DC case before a trial could happen)
One thing that immediately comes to mind is that the plea deal contemplates prosecutors agreeing to drop the counts that the jury failed to reach consensus on in EDVA (which they could retry him on if they wanted to)
