BREAKING NEWS: Prosecutors: Paul Manafort violated plea agreement, lied to investigators in Russia probe. Details to come ...
"Special counsel Robert Mueller is accusing former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort of violating the plea deal he agreed to earlier this year by repeatedly lying to prosecutors and FBI agents during recent debriefing sessions.
In a report filed with a federal judge Monday evening, Mueller's office alleged that Manafort “committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsel’s Office on a variety of subject matters.“ Prosecutors said the alleged lies leave Manafort exposed to the possibility of a more severe prison sentence under federal guidelines, but they did not elaborate on what exactly he allegedly lied about.
Manafort's defense team said: “He believes he has provided truthful information“ and tried to “live up to his cooperation obligations.“

Mark my words: Trump witness-tampered with
Manafort directly/indirectly.
Manafort had nothing to lose by cooperating with Mueller—only gain—and Mueller was asking him about Trump, and
Manafort lied. So he was expecting a pardon. Which means somebody let him think it could happen.
