The question is ridiculous because of the way you are framing it.
Obviously i’m not the only one who disagrees with some or all of your postings. I strongly disagree in this case. I see nothing ridiculous in the way that I framed the question. Why don’t you enlighten me? Explain how flipping Manafort is any problem for Trump, aside from “an appearance of impropriety,” unless Manafort’s testimony implicates the president in an impeachable offense.
