If the implication is to be believed, Obama was smart enough to go after Manafort three months before he joined Trump's campaign.

Oh, please. Obama is not THAT smart. This was a ploy to divert attention from the dirty deals of Hillary's pals
..........the infamous Podestas (who Manafort worked for in the Ukraine).........

John Podesta was Hillary's campaign manager....Obama's COS....and Bill Clinton's top aide....among his many govt manifestations.

His brother was a lobbyist who went belly-up under all the scrutiny.

Not sure I see how having Ukraine re-open an investigation into Manafort diverts attention from his firm but there’s a lot here to not understand.
