Maddow mentioned something very interesting about the new indictments.

She said Manafort asked his son, I believe it was his son, to lie about being the owner of one of the properties he was committing bank fraud on. I'm no lawyer but he may also be charged in the future. That would give Mueller even more leverage to flip Manafort.

what he told his son, or son-in-law, was to tell the lender that he lived in the place when in fact he was renting it on airbnb full time.
that was my understanding.
