One little-noticed aspect of the plea deal and cooperation agreement between Paul Manafort and Robert Mueller is that they are structured so that a presidential pardon by Donald Trump will do him no good.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, warned Trump that if he pardons Manafort, the president will be obstructing justice.
