Big choice ahead for Mr. Manafort–30 years in pinstripes in Leavenworth, or tell the FBI what the President knows and when he knew it, under oath. What to do?
“Trump’s presidency is over when Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell say it is.”
Forgot who said that.
Like John Dean said, full cover up mode.
Breaking…Ship bails on sinking rat.
“A Wednesday report from the Associated Press is likely to give the Trump team even more headaches on the Manafort front.”
I hear that treason-induced headaches can be pretty painful sometimes.
Manafort and trumps personal lawyer cohen were parading a ukrain /russia peace plan around during the campaign as well. I wonder if manafort will ask for protection and throw trump under the bus?
Who lives in Trump Tower? Paul Manafort, Floor 43
Trump’s former campaign manager, who resigned in August, has lived in Trump Tower since 2006. Manafort transferred the apartment from an LLC to his name in 2015.
From the pen of Mark Twain:
“A sinking vessel with no freight to throw overboard.”
This is a purely rhetorical question.
What were they thinking?
Trump won’t get the coal miners back to work but he’ll sure as hell keep the high-priced DC defense attorneys busy.
The AP obtained memos and records of international wire transfers documenting the millions of dollars Manafort received from a Russian oligarch for developing a political and business strategy intended to "greatly benefit the Putin Government.”
Not even Imelda Marcos could handle this many dropped shoes.
I keep hearing The Weather Girls in my head:
“It’s raining shoes, hallelujah,
It’s raining shoes, amen…”
I hope he has good security. I would hate for him to get shot or poisoned.
Manafort is key.
“We’re gonna build a big, beautiful wall!”

Jason Chaffetz has vowed to spend whatever it takes to determine Hillary Clinton’s role in all of this.
Hearing (or being reminded that) “Manafort had been offering input on staff picks and Cabinet nominees” makes me wonder about Tillerson’s statement that Trump, who he didn’t know, called him to talk “about the world.” Did Manafort know Tillerson?
Nah. Manafort will be “unavailable for the Committee to interview as he is traveling abroad for business” which is GOP-speak for; “Seeking asylum in Russia”.
It is now quite clear what the WH strategy is: Blame it all on Manafort.
While at the same time minimizing his “involvement” in the Trump Campaign and claiming he “duped” everyone into his position as “Director of the Campaign” and they “heroically” canned him when Bannon took over to “right the ship”.
This is to protect Carter Page ( a Looooooong time Trump buddy who knows where ALL the skeletons are buried) and the Mercers from investigation along with everyone else in the Trump circle-jerk of supporters.
So who is stuck playing the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dike? The cracks had already formed, they are creaking as they grow and multiply. Had forgotten the whole story - it’s rather a good metaphor for where we are in this story. https://drboli.wordpress.com/2009/03/06/the-little-dutch-boy-who-saved-holland/
Don’t go near any open windows while you are there, Paul!
