I ardently disagree..

Manafort is no saint. His was one of the first cases where the Logan Act/FARA resulted in a conviction. The USA needs to criminalize unrigistered foreign lobbying. It is one of the central broken aspects of American government, atm.

Agreed. Manafort is a dirty dog and helped embezzle and launder money for Podestas and other bad actors. He absolutely needed to go to jail and it will be quite lovely when Andrew Weissman realises the work he did to put Manafort away is going to be used on his pals.

Was he doing it willingly, and knowingly, without coercion?

Remember Epstains reach was vast. He didn't need to be compromised, but someone he cares about could have been.
