It's not a smart move for Trump to do it, as much as dangle it.
If this continues, Trump is going to have to shut down the state courts as well to protect his "family" and he'll need some really solid wins in the midterms to make even the Republicans in Congress ok with that.
I don't think vicious hotentots killing innocent bwanas in the bush or even stray illegal immigrants killing white women will be enough.
Look for even worse irrational behaviour, threats and attempts to create a Reichstag like moment, but until that chance arises, pardoning Manafort would hurt Trump and his entire corrupt organization more than it would help.
And this, I'll bet, is one thing Rudy probably understands and advised Trump on.
