Take on Slick Rick

When Slick Rick Gates took the stand today, they say you could hear a pin drop as he confessed to having been involved in criminal activity with Pauly Walnuts Manafort. Manafort pulled a John Gotti and stared down Gates like he was Sammy the Bull and the entire world saw just exactly how hard Beretta Bob was going to come down on Pauly. People ask why Manafort hasn't flipped since he stands to spend the rest of his miserable life in an orange jumpsuit instead of designer suits but this comes down to one thing.

This is the best chance for him

He's gambling on one of the following

- he might just get a hung jury or a straight acquittal. This trial has a jury and with Manafort's history and the company he keeps, I'm sure there are some doctors ready to cash in some broken leg operations.
- He flips and he can kiss his chances at a pardon goodbye. He probably is gambling on Trump doing so on the first Wednesday in November 2020, so it's just a waiting game that he can hold out for.

- he didn't do anything wrong and he can prove it. Lol.
