And if he’d never gotten in bed with Donald Trump, he probably would have lived out his twilight years a free man.

Sad. Shouldn’t have touched the stove.

Prosecutors reveal that Manafort made $60 million consulting in the Ukraine but never paid back Deripaska for the $10 million financial backing for this consulting work. Oleg must not be pleased with today’s revelation.

Considering the $10 (12?) million he owed a mobster, maybe a dead free man.

To be fair, the Trump base are the offspring of the crowd that attempted to break up the union 150 years ago over slavery. In doing so, they sought the support of foreign powers (notably Britain) but lost out and have resented it ever since. Today, they cry “patriotism” while stating openly that they want to burn it all down and start over.

The good news is that they’re a minority, then bad news is that, with a combination of voter suppression, foreign support and the archaic Electoral College, they’ve seized the wheelhouse. Hopefully, we can get it back and lock some of these bastards up for a while. If we don’t, then it doesn’t end until we do…

I wouldn’t put any money on it being an actual loan. Many other possibilities considering the nature of the two principals involved.

Paul Manafort made $60 million doing consulting work in Ukraine

Is that what they call it now?
Consulting?

Absolutely, but there’s evidence, including an email trail, that suggests Manafort sought to make good by repaying in some form.

Prosecutors Believe Manafort Made $60 Million Consulting In Ukraine

And, because Manifort is such a great American, I am confident that he paid every single last penny in US taxes on that money.

New book, coming this fall:

Yup–And they call Conspiracy (or Treason, if you prefer) Collusion.

A question of great interest to me is how much of the money that flowed into Manafort’s hands has actually been found? I would bet that there are funds hidden all over the place, and it is my fondest hope that Mueller has been able to track it. My second fondest hope is that neither Manafort or his associates or family ever see any of it again.

How can someone be so bad with money that they can make 60 million dollars and still
end up completely owned by a Russian gangster?
And how could someone so irresponsible ever be judged competent to run a nationwide organization like the Trump campaign?
