I ardently disagree..

Manafort is no saint. His was one of the first cases where the Logan Act/FARA resulted in a conviction. The USA needs to criminalize unrigistered foreign lobbying. It is one of the central broken aspects of American government, atm.

Agreed. Manafort is a dirty dog and helped embezzle and launder money for Podestas and other bad actors. He absolutely needed to go to jail and it will be quite lovely when Andrew Weissman realises the work he did to put Manafort away is going to be used on his pals.

Was he doing it willingly, and knowingly, without coercion?

Remember Epstains reach was vast. He didn't need to be compromised, but someone he cares about could have been.

Manaford dug his own grave years ago. The process crimes need to be thrown out but the money launderering etc should remain.

Manafort is a Patriot. The Russians and American conservatives have more in common than Dems and Conservatives.

Manafort, we have been told was a plant. Trump was supposed to start kneejerk Obstructing when he was caught, in order to protect 'his guy' and the 'integrity' of The Executive. Of course, the Boss knew that Manafort was someone else's idea from the start. What did Trump do when the charges came. Fired Manafort instantly and gave up ALL the comms.

Boy did THAT mess Weissmann up!

If Manafort was a plant how did they know?

They blackmailed him from the start. Had the extra dirt on him. And then threw him in the Trump pool as a plant. Then used that extra dirt (Not the really bad stuff) to stain Trumps admin.

Manafort is a lying sack of sh*t.
