I can't take the "News".

But upon seeing the links posted here, I was wondering if there was ANY reporting about Manafort during the primary season? For dog's sake, they've been running for two years. Surely there's something less recent.

And all those clowns had all those energetic, highly motivated staffers and volunteers? Did they do any research on their opposition? Maybe none of those people were actually running for president.

Dang it! Now I've got myself all curious about it. I think I may have to go back and look for some older stuff on Manafort.
