Would Manafort be released from jail while awaiting the additional charges pending against him?

(344 posts)but once you've been pardoned you can't plead the fifth because you can't incriminate yourself.
By the time it gets to that #CheetoBenito may not be the President; so that could be fun.

George H W Bush pardoned Caspar Weinberger for charges that were still pending against him in Iran Gate. He pardoned others too, but I'm not sure if the others were pardoned for pending charges.
