Twitter user Lou Garza WINS TODAY'S INTERNET for his response to Trump's "Manafort the Brave" tweet.

I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” - make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man!

Can't think of anyone surrounding Trump who is as smart and together as Tom Hagen though. They all come across as bumbling idiots. Can you picture Giuliani doing this? The visual is hysterical.

Didn't think about him with I posted the clip. But he's the guy (and he looks the part).

He manages to keep a very low profile and comes across as somewhat sane, maybe too sane to get involved perhaps.

After all, in Trump’s mind Manafort’s only mistake was getting caught doing exactly what Trump has been doing for decades with his own fraud and money laundering, some of which is most likely theough never-reported foreign bank accounts. I certainly hope Mueller has collected the same type of documention for the Trump business as part of his investigation. He can turn it over to NY for prosecution after Trump leaves office (voluntarily or not) so that Pence cannot pardon him.

Does that include the daughter you just legally changed her last name to distance herself from daddy?

Isn’t that the same daughter who condemned her father over a year ago as an accessory to murder for the work he had done destabilizing Ukraine?

I guess he'll do that this weekend, when he has time to reflect, or whatever he does when he's not holding rallies or playing golf.

Wonder how many of the character letters the judge will receive will come from the Manafort's swinging partners?

Dear Judge Ellis,

Paul's a helluva guy.....he's always willing to give you his wife on her back.

I'm gonna laugh so hard when Manafort decides to turn on unindicted co-conspirator 45!!

He is either going to save his own skin or Shitler will pardon him and set off a political firestorm for the ages!!!!
