Beware of a ratfuck

[Stinky The Clown]

This whole Manafort thing makes me nervous. If true, it is a great thing. It could give us both houses of Congress. But dirty tricksters (like Stone and Manafort) excel at this sort of thing. Yes, I know all media is covering this and carrying the story, but we need to be damned sure it is correct before pushing it too hard.

If it does turn out to be true, this needs to be HAMMERED!!

2. People like Stone and Manafort are experts

at weaseling their way out of anything. They've had a lifetime of practice. How can anyone believe anything they say?!

5. at this stage we are fine

It was posted by Lewandowsky, not the DNC or the Clinton campaign. All Hillary has to do is to stand back a bit and let it develop until its solid. She can then hook and reel.

6. Beware of giving a bunch of incompetent assholes credit for not being

incompetent assholes.

8. Standard RF trap would look something like this...

Leak a document that appears to confirm the story and then is proven to be a forgery. From that point on, the original evidence is "discredited" and the media backs off entirely.

A proven method. Expect it within a week or two.

9. If true story yes great thing . I honestly do not trust Manafort , Stone , Don

and now Corey (sp) I remember reading Stone hates Clinton politics ( new York Times article ) We will see how this all unfolds . Don , Manafort, Stone have known each other 30 plus years . Manafort took apartment at Trump Towers in 2006 .

"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."

Manafort and Stone had an office on K street

"Another early client was Donald J. Trump. What Trump wanted was help fending off potential rivals to his Atlantic City casino business. He especially feared the rise of Indian gaming. As the 2016 campaign has graphically illustrated, Trump doesn’t treat rivals gently. Testifying before a congressional committee in 1993, he began with his rote protestations of friendship. “Nobody likes Indians as much as Donald Trump.”

"Manafort didn’t own the Trump account at the firm. But one of his former partners told me that he would dispense advice and pitch in, winning Trump’s trust. When Manafort took an apartment in Trump Towers in 2006, he would kibitz with his old client when they’d run into one another on the elevator. “Trump knew this guy was top drawer,” says one Republican operative."

Rest of article which is pretty interesting ....
