1. After all we've already learned,

I'm not surprised at anything these scoundrels are, or have been, up to. And that goes for anything that might be revealed in the future. Clearly, none of them has one iota of decency, patriotism, or self respect.

2. Manafort is a criminal that should be locked up for life for what he's done over the years.

5. Trump is into the Russian mob for hundreds of millions.

They don't take kindly to non-payment.

If not cash, they will want something from the Donald for their investment.
