I wonder how long it will take before the NYT starts backpedaling.
NYT’s probably trying to cover for the Podesta Group’s lobbying for Russia by shifting blame to Manafort, who also worked in behalf of Russian government.
Russia employs a lot of US PR and lobbying firms. And Tillerson’s Exxon lost a lot of money due to sanctions on Russia over Ukraine. Meanwhile, John Bolton, advocate of dangerous belligerence toward Russia, is considered a SoS candidate. Weird stuff going on I don’t get!
