A simple Google search would have told The Idiot all he needed to know about Manafort and Russia BEFORE he hired him little dipshit. That's WHY he hired him you pathetically continuous clueless little turd.
Yeah. A Google search. LOL. That's why it took the Mueller team to indict him on shit he did years before he joined the Trump campaign.
I don't take biased, opinion articles and gossip rags for old hags as evidence of anything like you retards do.
Not surprising considering the number of factually incorrect and completely baseless tweets you dumbfucks post here every day. Can't even fact check a three sentence post much less dig into the hundreds of pages of actual evidence that uncovers Manafort's background, motives, and financial situation at the time.
Manafort was the one that approached Trump and offered to work for free for the Trump campaign, moron. He was that desperate to try to resurrect his political strategist career. Manafort was a slimy piece of shit that stole money from everyone he touched. He was tens of millions in debt at the time to Oleg Deripaska - a billionaire entrepreneur, as well as others in Ukraine. Deripaska is a vastly successful businessman. The idea that he's some Russian operative is fucking hilarious. You think Deripaska gives a shit about posting propaganda to a bunch of social media twats in the United States? Manafort was trying to leverage his access to Trump to square up his PERSONAL debts to Deripaska. You're actually fucking dumb enough to think giving campaign polling data to Deripaska so Russian intelligence hackers could SUPPOSEDLY command disinformation campaigns would ever come close to repaying a $20 million or $50 million debt? LMAO. Gee. I wonder if it wouldn't be just a little easier to capitalize on that information in the equity, options, bond, venture capital, and mergers and acquisitions markets where trillions of dollars are changing hands daily.
Nah. That shit would make WAY too much sense. It was for Russian social media bots!
As usual, you have absolutely no fucking clue what you're talking about because all you know is the bullshit fake news you allow to continue indoctrinating your already whithered mind.
