https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/15/us/politics/paul-manafort-ukraine-donald-trump.html?action=click&contentCollection=Politics&module=RelatedCoverage®ion=Marginalia&pgtype=articleA veritable swirl of corruption is emerging about Trump(R) Jr.'s meeting with the lawyer for Russia's biggest money launderers. The money laundering lawyer called the meeting by promising him kompromat on Hillary. Trump(R) Jr. lied about the meeting and now blubbering incriminating gaffe after incriminating gaffe.
But in this avalanche of disturbing information about the attack on our Democracy, let's not forget that Manafort was at the meeting guiding the conversation (because you KNOW that Uday was too stupid to do it.)
So it is useful now to review a few points about Manafort's history:
1) According to Rachel, Trump had never met Manafort before Manafort was presented to Trump(R) (by whom?) as the person who should head Trump(R)'s campaign.
2) Manafort has been exposed by a Ukranian anti-corruption panel as being someone who was on the payroll of the EXTREMELY corrupt previous Ukranian president who handed Ukraine's assets over to Russian Mob/Putin buddies.
3) These mobsters who were involved in the pillaging of Ukraine for Putin paid Manafort 12.7 MILLION DOLLARS. The money came out of a special off-the-books fund that came to light during the anti-corruption investigation in Ukraine. Like a slush fund for illegal activities.
4) Fallout from this meeting in which Manafort and Uday and Uday-in-law and the Russian money laundering queen set the rules for the relationship between Trump(R) and Russia:
a) Preet was fired. b) a huge Russian money laundering scheme that Preet had been investigating for years was suddenly settled by Preet's successor for a paltry sum. Preet's successor was appointed by Sessions, another of the co-conspirators in this swamp.
I think it's important to keep all this in mind as we listen to Uday's lies.
