Speaking after the sentencing hearing, Manafort's lawyer - unaware of a new 16 charge indictment having been filed by the Manhattan D.A's office - once gain started parroting the "no collusion" mantra even after being admonished by the DC Judge for doing so after the Virginia hearing. Thankfully, a bunch of bystanders started shouting him down and setting the record straight as to what the DC Judge actually said.
Now, most of us are fully aware that both Manafort and his lawyer are speaking to an "audience of one" and their comments are solely targeted as a means to garner a pardon from Trump. Given that Manafort has already admitted to many of the charges levied in the indictment, Manafort can simply wave his pardon "bye-bye".
