Rachel Maddow said last night that something would break today about Manafort--

[Mrs. Overall]

Does anyone have any insight?

1. Missed that...?

[Mrs. Overall]

7. During her show last night,

Rachel said that news would be breaking today about Paul Manafort in terms of the Russia investigation. She said that she hoped to have it on her show tonight (Thursday night).

Right now, a GOP fundraising office is being raided in Annapolis, so I'm wondering if this could have a possible Manafort connection.

I'm just curious how DUers might be connecting the dots today.

5. A cursory Google search reveals some inferences between the two

A cursory Google search reveals some inferences between the two, but these are mainly twitter accounts from journalists and blogs I'm unfamiliar with, so I really don't know how verified or valid the info is.


For example:

Check out my pinned tweets for major speculation!! (Hint: it involves @RogerJStoneJr and Manafort)

I saw information online for the owner, and he's been around for a WHILE. Alleged that he's associated with Prince and Manafort. I don't want to post it yet, in case this turns out to be nothing.

10. That is the connection - I posted on DU already

Dennis Whitfield, who is listed as a Senior Advisor at Strategic Campaign Group on their official website, used to be a director of BKSH.

BKSH created in 1996 through the merger of D.C. firms Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly and Gold & Liebengood by Martin B. Gold.
