Uhhh I think we need a better description than "has flipped"
flipping is like winning, if you do it in the Olympics and get a gold medal for it.
Why would he flip if there is nothing to flip for?
Nothing burger?
Maybe he’s flipping nothing burgers?![]()
I found some footage of this.He flipped the fuck out and will not run cover
Manafort senior still hasn't been flipped. I've got to believe he knew about this already, so I don't know what it will take to get him to flip. I guess he's still betting on accusing the government of some conspiracy that made him launder all that money and do other criminal acts. Seems to be the new angle Trumps working on now that they know there was a FBI plant somewhere in the organization that "framed him". Had nothing to do with all kinds of evidence that our government would have been negligent if they hadn't. EDIT: hadn't put the plant in (not "framed him")
That’s the latest Fox News angle to give Trump cover.Manafort senior still hasn't been flipped. I've got to believe he knew about this already, so I don't know what it will take to get him to flip.

I keep forgetting about that angle. Hmm let me see "Rest of life spent in prison bending over for a bar of soap" or death by Oligarch.Plutonium poisoning is a strong deterrent
After they way he was treated by Trump, it would not surprise me.My bet on the "FBI Plant" was Felix Sater. Guy has been an informant for years on a variety of things.

I've seen Manafort's resistance largely as a matter of his personality. He's a mini-Trump in that he revels in the trappings of wealth and will do anything to hold on to that lifestyle. Even though he's guilty as sin, he doesn't dare flip because that cuts off his sources of revenue. Spending some time in prison might be worth it to him if it means Russian oligarchs and Trump allies (same thing, really) are ready to pay you when you get out.
Or when you've made a history of supporting despots and dictators prison may be safer than flipping.
