Manafort was working to pay off his $19M debt to Deripaska
We don't know exactly why he lied, but that's an important overarching fact to remember why he was working for the Trump campaign (for free). So Mueller will get to the illegalities of it all, but even if Mueller says it was all not illegal, it has been shown that the campaign was colluding with Russian intelligence. 'No collusion' cannot be used as defense. It now has shifted to do, sure there was collusion with Russian intelligence, but that technically isn't illegal [which is viable until Mueller concludes whether or not it's conspiracy to defraud the US].
