than he can tell more lies. So what, Mueller won't know. I will get away with it, it will be another "rush." Maybe that is part of it. Or maybe Manafort assumed that Mueller was really not so smart. And couldn't tell a lie from the truth. Maybe that was part of it. Or maybe Manafort thought that since he got away with so many lies during the campaign, that what the hell, a few more lies won't hurt. Maybe that is part of it. Perhaps we will find out, and perhaps we won't. It won't matter, because Mueller found out. That is what matters.
