Was Manafort deliberately inserted into Trump's campaign by the Kremlin?

1. Yes, I believe he was...

...He was trying to work off his debt to at least one Putin* oligarch. And that is the reason that ultimately Manafort* won't flip. It is not to protect tRump*, it's to prevent the long arm of the Russian oligarchs/mob/FSB from exacting their revenge.

2. duh

you'd have to be blind or republican not to see it.

3. Damn good thought.

He was working for free, makes all the sense in the world.

He also probably was hoping it would pls Putin and help him get that 12m out of Russia he allegedly was owed.

4. That has always been my theory. N/t

5. and yet...things that make you go hmmmm

Deripaska's aluminum company (the Russian oligarch that Manafort was working with, owed millions to, and who Paulie offered access to trump to get whole with) was finally sanctioned a couple of month's ago....or at least his company was. This week Mnuchin says they are going to remove sanctions from Deripaska's company (coincidentally, ahead of the Manafort trial beginning), without Congressional approval. Hmmmm indeed.

6. Mnuchin is in on the conspiracy. Hope he goes to prison.

7. And others too that putin wanted.

putin is trumps boss , and has so much on him he demands now.

8. Yes. And so was Mike Pence.

But to no objection from Trump nor his clan.

9. I'm going with YES

Too damn many skanky wanky republican-russian things went down, and are still going down. I've seen no evidence to suggest anything other than that the kremlin inserted Manafort into the campaign of the debt-ridden Comrade Dirty Donny* (r).

10. There are so many people in the Trump Administration with ties to Russia,

there's probably an office for the Secretary of the Kremlin.

He didn't propose him out of the blue. Ol' Tommy boy may be is deep shit soon.
