In other news the FBI now have an informant clearly stating that the Russians approached him with Clintons emails (they hacked) and sought to arrange a meeting with Trump.
Did that also 'not happen'? More 'fake news'?
Yes they have Papa
Who met a professor who met Putins supposed niece and an ambassador.
The ambassador wasn't an ambassador and Putins niece wasn't Putins niece. The FBI are now checking if the professor was qualified.
Maybe there is more to it but on the surface it's comical.
Remember mannafort is the campaign manager only leading up to the convention because it was felt that Corey wasn't up to managing the delegates. Within 3 days of securing the nomination trump received a security brief from the FBI and manafort is gone.
So it's a very short term thing. Trump could rightly argue the never Trumpers pushed manafort onto him. Not only could he argue it - it's probably true too.
Also remember manafort is connected to the Podesta's for a long time prior.
And Hillary and the DNC were on the record rooting for Trump to win the Republican nomination. Becareful what you wish for.
No matter how you look at this Trump will easily paint this as the swamp he has unwittingly walked into. And it will sell big time - because Mueller himself is implicated with all these players.
The inconsistency of the tony Podesta has been permitted to retrospectively register under FARA only months ago - when manafort is charged for the same omission stinks to high heaven.
