Discussion: NYT: Manafort Owed Pro-Russia Interests Millions Before Joining Trump Team

$17M? That’s a Polonium Flu level of cash. We’re not talking about “financially compromised” here. We’re talking about “do-or-die compromised.”

And that’s how Putin got Manafort (not a dumb dumb) to work for Trumps (dumb dumbs). They must make him sick to his stomach, or some might say nauseous.

Who among us doesn’t owe eight blessed figures to the Russians? I say he who is without seventeen million dollars in adversarial foreign debt cast the first stone.

A security clearance leading to a clearance sale on secure secrets. Are any of Trumpski’s people not puppets for Moscow?

“stale and do not purport to reflect any current financial arrangements.”

I bet.

Putin benefactors took care of the debt?

That works out to over a billion rubles.

Complete admission of guilt yet again. The moron also says in the interview he wouldn’t have appointed Sessions if he’d known he would recuse himself on Russia.

My husband is ranting reading this:

Trump claimed he wasn’t under investigation. He hasn’t done anything wrong, to which my husband ranted, “You get out of bed every morning. That should be a capital offense.”

He really is a gentle person, but he can’t stand the stupidity and incompetence.
