Manafort made a dangerous bet. He still thinks Trump is going to pardon him. milestogo Dec 2018 #2

Manafort is mixed up with Russian mafia and is afraid of getting himself or his family killed YessirAtsaFact Dec 2018 #3

I think that's a lot more real to Manafort than anyone else, because he worked with these guys for years and knows what they are capable of.

Since a narcissist thinks the world is in orbit around him, that person thinks others would be honored to go to prison to protect him. Loyalty.
