Paul Manafort’s Daughter Texted Friends About How Tight Her Dad Was With Trump
“Him and Trump are perfect allies.”
By Ashley Feinberg 10/31/2017 01:41 pm ET Updated 3 hours ago

Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman who was indicted on federal conspiracy and money laundering charges Monday, has a long history of ties to pro-Putin groups in Ukraine. He also has a long history of connections to Donald Trump. According to leaked texts sent and received by his daughter, Andrea Manafort Shand, the two pals were “perfect allies.”

The Trump administration has been working overtime to downplay Manafort’s role in last year’s campaign.

“Paul Manafort was brought in to lead the delegate process, which he did, and was dismissed not too long after that,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday. “Paul was brought on sometime in June, and by the middle of August he was no longer with the campaign,” then-press secretary Sean Spicer said in March.

Spicer’s statement was untrue, and Sanders’ claim was misleading.

2. Some of her texts are incredible!

Can you imagine having a parent that is so evil? Some do but don't realize it but those who DO see it, yeah that's gotta suck. Actually I know first hand that it does.

the only upside is that many of those truly evil don't have the whatever it is one needs to reach into the heights (depths) that Manafort managed. In fact, I have a co-worker who is deep down evil but is rather stupid and unimaginative (tho' there is something to be said for a dogged single mindedness).
