He had a back channel to the WH while he was in detention.

He stymied Mueller by refusing to give certain testimony.

He was so "good" that his plea deal was abandoned.

If the rest are getting off and he doesn't get a pardon ... he has little to lose.
Whether they would still be interested is another question.
But if Trump gets off and Manafort can lead them to the evidence that nails him ... they'd probably accommodate him.
