Manafort and Double Jeopardy

Next week the Supreme Court will consider Gamble v. United States, a case asking wether or not federal and state prosecution for the same offense constitutes, "double jeopardy," which the fifth amendment protects against. This case, if it changes precedent, would obliterate any state attempts to prosecute Paul Manafort in the event of a presidential pardon.
