re: #10 KGxvi

Trump spoke to Manafort after he was sworn into office. That’s a hell of an admission.

Manafort and Trump haven’t stopped speaking for decades. They were working together during the campaign, even after Manafort stepped aside during the summer of 2016 as campaign manager (the role then filled on interim basis by Rick Gates, who is also indicted). Manafort continued talking to Trump and advising in a role all through the campaign and then into the transition period.

The two spoke even after inauguration.

That’s despite the growing prove/evidence that Manafort was an undeclared foreign agent.

Everyone around Trump is in trouble, and Trump’s predictably acting as though nothing is wrong - mostly because he takes his cues from Fox News, which is projecting their bullshit all over the place (and pushing the echo chamber that only ones doing wrong here are Mueller and Clinton, not Trump).
