What truly matters to tRump ?
tRump pulled out the most dramatic of moves, this week.
Mueller matters.
Paul Manafort matters.
If U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington were to decide he lied and broke his plea agreement, it could mean as much as 10 more years in prison for Manafort when his sentencing is finally set. Manafort faces a possible seven- to 10-year sentence in his related Virginia federal case, according to several legal experts.
Manafort, 69, dressed in a black suit and red tie, leaned heavily on a cane as he entered court in Washington and did not visibly react to Jackson during the hearing, which the judge called to “nail down” what the “consequences are or will be of the special counsel’s determination” that Manafort breached his plea deal.
The Friday hearing left for another day the merits of the government’s allegation that Manafort “intentionally provided false information” to investigators since pleading guilty in federal court in September.

The Wall Drama and the SOTU Drama diluted the impact.
tRumps's associates provided some distraction.
Roger Stone's arrest wiped Manafort off of the front page.
Texas Border Sheriffs: There is No Crisis and We Don’t Want Trump’s Wall
Despite Trump’s attempt to paint the Texas-Mexico border as a war zone, border counties are safer than the president’s own backyard.
President Trump visited McAllen earlier this month to drum up support for spending $5.7 billion to build more border wall segments on the U.S.-Mexico border. He staged a press conference surrounded by piles of confiscated drugs, guns and cash, describing the situation at the border as “a national emergency.”
"Because we’re on the border, the perception is that there’s murders every day and there’s shootings every day. Yet here in our county, we don’t have that going on. It’s very, very peaceful."
Ironically, with the government shut down over Trump’s border wall beef with Congress, at least 200 Border Patrol agents have been furloughed in the RGV, where Guerra says they are desperately needed. Nationwide, more than 54,000 CBP employees are working without pay.
