Manafort now singing like a canary in a coal mine

I cant tell, but it looks like an agreement with Mueller instead of just a straight plea to the judge.

Mueller previously was reported to only be interested in a plea that included cooperation.
 
Charges related to work prior to working for Trump and even CNBC is reporting there is no indication cooperation in other investigations is part of the deal.

That won't help him with state charges.

A Lone Holdout Juror Actually Made It More Likely That Paul Manafort Will Go to Jail Even if Trump Pardons Him

On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that President Donald Trump had recently discussed with his lawyers the prospect of issuing a pardon for Paul Manafort. The former Trump campaign chairman, who was convicted earlier this week on charges of bank fraud and tax fraud, remains under scrutiny by special counsel Robert Mueller for his work on the 2016 campaign and his connections to Russia. In considering a pardon, Trump could be seeking to pre-empt a cooperation deal with another former top lieutenant after Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign-related offenses this week and promised through an attorney to cooperate with the Mueller probe. A pardon would backfire, though, because Manafort would still face numerous state charges and his federal convictions this week would now be admissible in some of those states. Moreover, Trump would only be strengthening the criminal obstruction and the impeachment cases against him.

Last November, I explained how Mueller’s team seemed to be strategizing a way to outmaneuver Trump’s pardons when they initially brought charges against Manafort. Prosecutors appeared to be holding back some charges for states to bring, just in case Trump pardoned Manafort. Presidential pardons only address federal crimes, which means Manafort could face state charges for the same acts.

ABC reports that the plea specifically says Manafort is pleading guilty to crimes occurring well into 2016.
 
Well everyone is now reporting its a plea deal with Mueller, not a plea up to the Judge.

That makes a cooperation agreement more likely but not absolute, depends on if Mueller broke on his reported demand that any plea include a cooperation agreement.

Not a problem, there are still state charges awaiting him, and in the meantime, just how much info is Manafort going to give the government regarding Trump?
Do you recall that trump was only going to hire the BEST people?

I guess that all depends as to what you want accomplished.

Manafort could easily have been the "best" Kremlin connection

Or the "best" at money laundering
