You can almost feel the cycle of denial-panic-rage-blame-casting-denial he’s experiencing.

Mm, no? You don’t tell Manafort, the target of the investigation, and you don’t tell anybody who would likely tell him. It’s not like you were president.

“but we should have been told that Comey and the boys were doing a number on him” erm, no. No you shouldnt have been, you ham handed idiot. What part of secret investigation are you willfully ignoring this time?

Trump is getting his talking points from Fox News. Hence, the lack of understanding and, dare we say, nuance?

So, Donnie, you had no inkling Manafort was a crook and a possible traitor? Didn’t you recognize your own ilk? Didn’t you do “extreme vetting”? Or were you just grateful that anyone crawling out from under a rock would join your campaign?

Greasy, orange piece of shit is really getting panicky. One can only pray for a timely heart attack, for the good of the country. Then we can take care of that shit stain Pence.

When I think about what is lacking in Trump’s legal/PR/L’Affaire Russe strategery, “coherence” is the first word that comes to mind.

The phrase “Comey and the boys” seems all gangsta.

"have told me that they were secretly investigating Paul Manafort "

Oops.

Guess Paul should start arranging his prison canteen account.

Comey had perfectly good reasons for not publicly divulging details of an ongoing counterterrorism investigation. Trump wasn’t cleared in the investigation; just because it hadn’t yet identified him as a person of interest didn’t mean that the FBI wouldn’t find new evidence pointing to him down the road. In his testimony, Comey indicates he didn’t want to tell the public anything he’d feel the need to take back. To him, it was better not to say that Trump wasn’t under investigation to begin with than to have to go before the public a second time to say that now he was.

Take out Trump and put Manafort in the hi-lighted.

they were secretly investigating Paul Manafort (on charges that were 10 years old and had been previously dropped

still trying to figure this out

“…should have been told Comey and the boys were doing a number on him…”

Who talks like this? The Thug Pres*dent, that’s who.

Why don’t you use your trump card and pardon yourself already, you fuckwad. Let’s see how far that gets you.

He’s already going down in history as the Benedict Arnold of American Presidents whether he ends up impeached or not.

What a monumental jackass this man is. Never fails to make a fool of himself and contradict himself at the same time.

Paul Manafort came into the campaign very late and was with us for a short period of time

One of the unexpected benefits of the Trump era, is that the ‘strike zone’ has to be called properly.

Either that, or its very Elliot Ness in his best prohibition era lingo.

from that Bloomberg piece

Indeed, in 2008, the McCain campaign considered Manafort for the job of Republican convention manager and then dropped him because of his work with Ukraine and other shadows on his resume.

But Trump is an unconventional candidate. The real-estate mogul with a taste for politics has turned to a political operative with a taste for real estate. In this sense, Trump and his former lobbyist are a perfect match.

balls n strikes y’all, balls n strikes.
