re: So it was one juror that saved Manafort

The pardon power of the President extends only to an offense recognizable under federal law.

Lisa Kern Griffin, law professor, Duke University

Manafort may expect a pardon, given the president’s past statements and shameless use of the pardon power in the Arpaio case. And the president may use that power to keep Manafort and other witnesses from cooperating and to ensure continuing impunity for his family members and associates.
