But how does the charge relate to Russian collusion?
It has no impact on Trump.
It just proves that Mueller came up empty in relation to Trump.

Not to mention that is Trump pardons him, he can be forced to testify before a Grand Jury without the coverage of the Fifth Amendment and tell all the secrets he knows.

Get back to us when Mueller's investigation is limited to Russian collusion only.

Since these are federal crimes they are accusing Manafort of, President Trump can pardon him to end Mueller's witch hunt against Manafort.

Manafort needs to be tried and convicted FIRST.

What does Trump get from pardoning Manafort?
Nothing.
No chance of a pardon.

No, he doesn't: Can President Bush pardon people who haven't even been charged with a crime?

And HOW does Manafort not being pardoned prove Mueller's come up empty in relation to Trump as you've alleged?

What is it makes you think you know the results of an incomplete investigation?

He should have followed the rules and conditions of his bail. Paul Manafort knowingly broke the law by trying to contact witnesses and have them lie on his behalf. The Special Counsel found out about it and revoked his bail as a result. Do the crime, do the time.

Rot in prison for the rest of your life (Manafort will be facing 50+ years), or cooperate with the Special Counsel and flip on Donald Trump. Your choice, Paul.

This is Manafort's life currently. Sounds miserable.
