Manafort sounds like the type of character who has gotten away with so much for so long that he comes to believe he's invincible. (His daughter's instant messaging posts leaked to the internet appear to confirm this unflattering portrayal of her father.) The late Dominick Dunne wrote about people like Manafort. According to Dunne, privileged people delude themselves into believing they can get away with anything. They believe the rules don't apply to them.
I would love to see the look on Manafort's face when the jury pronounces him "Guilty" on enough counts to send him up the river for 200 years. Manafort's lawyers are probably stroking his ego telling him he has a good chance of beating the rap and the prosecutors are dummies. Manafort is delusional enough to believe them.
Of course, it only takes one of twelve jurors to hang a jury, so maybe Manafort knows something we don't ...
