There was no part of Manafort's relationship to Trump - what every person with an IQ above room temperature knows is the true motive for prosecuting him - that was unlawful or unethical.

Bottom line, the world knows that the chances of Manafort being prosecuted, absent the Trump tie and the BAMN philosophy of those who want to take Trump down, were exactly zero and not a scintilla more.

I don't think either one of us knows enough about Manafort's dealings to say for certain just how legal and ethical his role in the Trump campaign was. I'm sure it was legal and ethical from Trump's standpoint, but not necessarily from Manafort's.

In fact, I raised the possibility a few days ago that Manafort joined the Trump campaign specifically to serve as a globalist mole who would undermine Trump and facilitate outside surveillance of Trump's campaign. I've pretty much accepted that this was Carter Page's role all along ... I'm just not sure if he was an unwitting dupe or a willing conspirator.
