[Alberta's Child]

Whether it was legal or not, you can be sure all kinds of red flags go up when a Swamp creature like Manafort who has made a career out of peddling influence in Washington borrows $10 million from a Russian oligarch.

I'm not one to reflexively defend Manafort here. I think there's a damn good chance he joined the Trump campaign in 2016 as a "Deep State" mole.
