1. "For free." - Manafort got $3.1 million of hush-money after he left.

A company owned by Trump gave Manafort a loan on his house... And there is no paragraph in the deal that says when or how Manafort must pay this loan back, if ever.

6. He had unresolved big dollar issues with a Putin buddy and Trump gave him leverage

As one close to Trump the Russian would be more amenable to a resolution favoring Manafort

Maybe
