TЯump Runs Away From Paul Manafort, 'It Doesn't Involve Me.'

Trump Runs Away From Paul Manafort, ‘It Doesn’t Involve Me.’

<snip>

Trump is in full flight mode

This had nothing to do with Trump except for the part where he let a guy run his campaign who was committing crimes while working for him and changed the Republican platform to more pro-Russia policy on Ukraine. Other than the fact that guy ran his presidential campaign for a time, the case had absolutely nothing to do with Trump.

Trump did not have a single word to say about Michael Cohen, which feeds the long-held belief that the White House is more worried about what Cohen knows than Manafort, but if Paul Manafort was looking for a sign that a presidential pardon could be coming, he is surely disappointed, because Trump pulled one of his favorite moves by throwing Manafort under the bus and running as far away as possible from the crisis.

Paul Manafort conviction has destroyed Trump’s claims of a witch hunt once and for all. - PoliticUSUSA
