Paul Manafort, Roger Stone & Lee Atwater



This article, describing them seems accurate on first glance.

It is helpful for those following the republican President Donald Trump’s Russian saga, to know that the friendships among Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and the president go back for decades. Roger Stone and Paul Manafort used to be business partners. It is illuminating to get to know the character of the kind of folks, our president had an association.

Excerpts:

“The genesis of Donald Trump’s relationship with Paul Manafort begins with Roy Cohn. That Roy Cohn: Joe McCarthy’s heavy-lidded henchman, lawyer to the Genovese family. During the ’70s, Trump and his father hired Cohn as their lawyer to defend the family against a housing discrimination suit. (Cohn accused the Feds of using “Gestapo-like tactics.”) But Cohn and Trump became genuine pals, lunching at the Four Seasons and clubbing together at Studio 54. It was Roy Cohn who introduced Stone and Manafort to Trump.”

Lee Atwater died of a brain tumor in 1991, and apologized to what he did to Michael Dukakis, by stating that

"While I didn't invent negative politics," he said, "I am one of its most ardent practitioners."
.
.

As manager of Mr. Bush's campaign, Mr. Atwater succeeded in making the case of Willie Horton, a convicted murderer, an issue against Mr. Dukakis.

Mr. Horton, who is black, raped a white woman and stabbed her husband while on a weekend furlough from a Massachusetts prison. The Bush campaign used the case to portray Mr. Dukakis, then Governor of Massachusetts, as a liberal who was soft on crime.

"In 1988," Mr. Atwater said, "fighting Dukakis, I said that I 'would strip the bark off the little bastard' and 'make Willie Horton his running mate.' I am sorry for both statements: the first for its naked cruelty, the second because it makes me sound racist, which I am not." Reputation as 'Ugly Campaigner'

Read upon these three and see why I have little to no empathy for them. Roger Stone is next for prison.

And also never forget who fell for it and acted on it with gusto.
