Interesting choice for Donald Trump...

...throw Manafort under the bus as a "lone wolf" -- but acknowledge that the Russia story is a "thing".

...Continue to claim Russia is a "witch hunt" -- effectively tying himself to Manafort if an indictment comes out later.

his history with Ukraine and Putin's Russia are pretty well documented and known.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Will we make history and indict and impeach a 'war president?' Trump and his handlers probably think war with NK would give them an out.
