About that tax evasion, this is on foreign earned income in which we are one of the rare countries that taxes foreign earned income....I've worked many years in countries in the Middle East alongside Brits, Aussies, Italians, French, etc. that paid no income tax because their nations don't charge foreign earned income tax while I paid up to $100K/yr to Uncle Same while not being in the nation or using the services for those taxes.
LOL What does paying $25,000 for a suit have to do with making a living for his family. I would say he made quite a living for himself by breaking laws. And yes he is a bad guy. That's why he's going to jail for a very long time. It's disgusting how any American can defend him.

In all honesty, I don't know who trump will pardon, if anybody.
You don't seem to understand the difference between owing back taxes and lying on a tax return, not to mention the other crimes Manafort was convicted of. "yeah but what about..." just don't work this time, nice try though

There is ZERO doubt in my mind that President Trump will pardon Manafort and Cohen if necessary.

This is why he will M.A.G.A . . . which stands for "MAKE AMERICA GANGSTA' AGAIN!"

For those of you'ze who knew zilch about Trump before 2016, there's a reason why he was called ConDon in Queens and Manhattan back in the day.

If Trump pardons either one. They cannot plead the 5th if called back to be used as a witness. Looks like Mueller is getting close to Trump.

Not surprising to see Trump, as head of his criminal organization, still praising one of his loyal capos, Manafort.

So Trump has some problems with pardoning him. If he moves too fast, Manafort could still go to trial on the other charges, because a pardon wouldn't pre-exempt him in them. So, facing even more prison time, Manafort could roll over at last before he goes into the second trial.

A President can, and has, preemptively pardon someone. President Ford preemptively pardoned Nixon for ANY CRIMES he may have committed while in office, he didn't have to wait until Nixon was actually tried and found guilty of anything.
