And this is how the arrest is being spun over on “the_donald” on Reddit….

…Yes…we obviously get that Manafort was (for a small period of time) Trump’s campaign manager, and so yes…we’re aware that the headlines reading “Trump Campaign Manager Indicted In Russia Probe” are technically correct (though laughably spinny & coordinated, particularly with the hivemind use of the word “surrender”).

But (aside from the fact that this indictment stems from old activity that has nothing to do with Trump), we also hope you get that Paul Manafort was never one of “our guys” in the first place. We said this at the time. We’re not just saying it today. He’s a lifetime member of the swamp. He has ties to Democrats as well as Republicans. You’ll notice he has connections to the Podestas. He has connections to just about everyone. That’s because he’s a swamp creature. He’s a political mercenary for the Establishment who has been around forever. If he’s the patsy who “takes the fall” in a silly nonsense investigation, I doubt you’ll find anyone here who sheds a tear.

He was a useful tool during a small period of time for the campaign. He was hired to do a relatively simple (but important) job in whipping up delegates at the convention. And then he was summarily fired.

Hopefully Manafort understands how there’s no loyalty to him and he spills the beans on everything he knows….
