"SNIP....

Washington Post: “The four words of unredacted text suggest that in February 2018 — four months after Manafort was first charged with crimes related to his work as a political consultant in Ukraine — he still appears to have been working on a peace initiative for Ukraine, a topic of intense interest to Russia.”

“And it suggests he was doing so in concert with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian employee of his consulting firm who is alleged to have ties to Russian intelligence… Nearly half of the filing is devoted to Manafort’s interactions with Kilimnik, including a section related to their communications in 2018, a sign of Mueller’s ongoing interest in what Manafort discussed with his younger Russian employee.”

2. Sometimes you just can't show mercy. Some people will just use you for it.

Unbelievable the idea he thought he wouldnt get caught. These folks are bereft of any shame. We will be asked to care about his family though bc of course...that's his first thoughts as well. These people do NOT give a shit about their families. Not one little GD bit.

3. He also was under financial dire straights. So maybe in his mind he

was all about his family keeping contracts with the Ukraine open. Warped. His greed and desperation did him in.

4. Yes. This guys blown through more cash than three quarters of us here on DU will see in a lifetime.

But we should have mercy at every turn? This guy would stick a knife in the back of anyone that got between him and the pile of cash. And probably HAS killed somebody before. Really, once you've made a pact w the devil....where's the boundary?

5. Yes. Ostriches and Ukranians are safer with him out of business.
