Does anyone have a source for info on the black ledger?

1. From a NYT story:

Secret Ledger in Ukraine Lists Cash for Donald Trump’s Campaign Chief

The (very) short version:

Handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Mr. Manafort from Mr. Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012, according to Ukraine’s newly formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Investigators assert that the disbursements were part of an illegal off-the-books system whose recipients also included election officials.

So this was information negative to Manafort. I'm not very knowledgeable about the Ledger.

6. Oh were they the books from the ousted Ukrainian president?

The one with the pirate ship?

8. Like DewGirl mentioned, the ledger was found in the former President of Ukraine's house when he

abandoned it to run to Russia in the middle of the night.

7. I think it may be a reference to the ledger of the ousted Ukrainian

President, Rachel did a segment on him.
