When will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end-or will it just go on forever?

Trump did nothing to tamp down speculation that Manafort is seeking a presidential pardon, telling the New York Post on Wednesday that it was not “off the table.”
