Trump Could Pardon Manafort on Grounds That It’s an IRS Issue Pay Back Taxes Plus Interest Then Leave It

Translate:

If Paul Manafort will be convicted on any of the charges against him, president Trump could say that because the issue(s) should have been settled by the IRS rather than the Justice Department, so Manfort should be pardoned from conviction to instead pay what is due the IRS plus penalties and interest.
