Oops, Andrew Miller (former Roger Stone aide) has been held in contempt for refusing to appear before the Grand Jury.

And now there's speculation that Manafort is discussing a plea deal, his trial was paused for hours for a meeting between the prosecution and his lawyers.

by plea deal you means "snitching" on trump ?
i dont know us laws and i asked already if it's possible to get a plea deal on a case by "helping" (snitching) on another.

Andrew Miller asked the judge to hold him in contempt, because that allows him to appeal the contempt ruling to a higher court after the lower court quashed his motion to reject the subpoena.
Its a legal maneuver. Maybe not a very good one, but that's a rather important caveat

It is a curious thing. I've read that it's highly unlikely for a deal to be struck during the trial.

Quote (CNN)

A federal district judge who was appointed by President Donald Trump has upheld Robert Mueller's appointment and constitutional authority in the special counsel's case against Russian social media propagandists.
Judge Dabney Friedrich, who serves at the trial-court level in DC federal court, said Concord Management and Consulting could not have its case tossed on constitutional grounds. The Russian company accused of backing a social media effort to sway voters against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed Mueller didn't have power to bring the case because he was not appointment by the President and confirmed by Congress. Mueller was appointed under the authority of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has broad power as the acting head of the Justice Department for the 2016 election probe
"The appointment does not violate core separation-of-powers principles. Nor has the Special Counsel exceeded his authority under the appointment order by investigating and prosecuting Concord," Friedrich wrote in an opinion published Monday morning. She was one of the first judges Trump placed into a federal court position.

Either Manafort was involved in the Russia conspiracy and he could testify that Trump was as well, and he's waiting for a pardon, or Manafort doesn't have anything on Trump(or others related to a Russia conspiracy), and thus he has nothing to offer the Special Counsel. I still believe the former.
