If you needed further evidence that the Trump campaign is coming unglued, look no further than tonight's revelations about Paul Manafort and his deep, expensive, binding ties to Russian puppets.
The New York Times helpfully reports that Manafort received as much as $12.7 million in cash payments from former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and his Russian cohorts.
Handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Mr. Manafort from Mr. Yanukovychs pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012, according to Ukraines newly formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Investigators assert that the disbursements were part of an illegal off-the-books system whose recipients also included election officials.
They go on to note that Manafort never registered as an agent of a foreign government under FARA, which is generally required when Americans serve as consultants to foreign governments.

(4,404 posts)The whole email thing, I mean. Besides paying a foreign dictatorship to dig up some "dirt" on our side, they seem to have no plan at all for their campaign.
I wonder if they thought whatever meager junk they could find would be enough to put and keep them ahead of Hillary and Co?
