16. Manafort's lawyer gave him exact same excuse of not reading down all of emails

so Manafort must be concerned about conspiracy or campaign illegality, since he doesn't have Jared's security clearance problem.

Both Manafort and Kushner though have same problem that they want to reduce their culpability by making it clear they did not arrange the meeting and didn't know in advance, but the fact that Junior forwarded the incriminating emails to both of them makes it unlikely they didn't know what was going on.
