Might be worse for him to be pardoned and have to testify at a long parade of Fed trials and state trials.

Plus he'll be wandering around avoiding tea and umbrellas. Even so, he'd never dare move or even travel outside of the USA. Accepting deliveries becomes very problematic. How much would you need to be paid to open packages addressed to Manafort? Can he ever eat out at a restaurant again?
