Trump's attorney told Manafort's attorney he would be "taken care of." 1/5
While Manafort was supposed to be cooperating with Mueller's team, his lawyers were regularly briefing Trump's lawyers on the discussions.

They *never exited that joint defense agreement.* 2/5

Every single person in that joint defense agreement was promised a pardon. For lying.

And Manafort was lying his ass off.

Trump publicly stated that Manafort's lying was "very brave." 3/5

We don't know WHO is all part of the JDA.

But the Mueller Report makes clear that they were ALL promised pardons. That they'd be "taken care of." 4/5

Trump's pardoning Manafort won't stop State charges - but everyone else in that joint defense agreement is watching right now to see how Trump treats Manafort.

The Rikers move is a signal to all of them: "Trump's still got your back." 5/5
