The indictment of FBI executive Charles McGonigal prompts a review of another indicted American with ties to Oleg Deripaska: former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort.
Let's call it "coordination" a word that's likely too difficult to pronounce for the donald just as 'yesterday" has been, apparently. [Yesterday...all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks like they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday.]
Such a delicious article. Thanks for reprising this. I am infinitely fascinated and of course, horrified by anything ' Manafort and Kilimnik ' ( also V. Invankov )...I miss LB's Manafort Mondays.
I thank you as always for the beautiful ride your words take me and others on.
The evidence that the corruption runs SO DEEP is that I remember exactly where I was when I heard that the Trump campaign agreed to Manafort's "volunteering" to be the campaign manager and thought HUH? The WTF of that that didn't require that you be an investigative journalist to question...will never forgive the media for its whitewashing of a conman that NYers knew was a mafia patsy. Appreciate your repeated reminders...many so-called reputable journalists should be ashamed.
He acts like someone who is being extorted. The only time he went away from Trump was when TRUMP TRIED TO HAVE HIM KILLED, and that only lasted a short time.
This story is going to be around a long long time.

Ha! Yes, exactly.
This is a thing they do...they glom onto a single word and make the whole thing about word choice. It's dumb but highly effective.

Ha ha, Manafort Mondays.
Thanks so much, StacyO!

At the time, the thinking was that Manafort had experience with brokered conventions so was a logical choice. It's all absurd.
Thanks for the reprisal, Greg. Bears repeating as many times as it takes.
Pardon my ignorance; I missed it. How was/is Pence compromised? Not counting the fly.
This is my take on him:

Wow. Thanks, Greg. This is a whole perspective I never thought of.

Correct.
