If he praises and defends Manafort the way he did with General Kelly for a while, then I think a lot of fair amount of people are going to say, oh he's setting him up for pardon, which even his ally Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina said the end of the Trump presidency if he starts pardoning these guys.
Begala discusses the implications of Trump potentially pardoning Manafort and how it could affect his presidency.

He didn't get elected because folks want to buy Greenland. He got elected because folks want to buy groceries. And he, by God, better cut the cost of groceries, gas and rent.
But the kind of, just, dopey slurs coming from this dim-witted vice president — this charmless oaf — you can have him.
I'm skeptical because I don't think he gives a rip snort about those blue collar guys who voted for him.
