Is Paul Manafort a very good person?

The President said today that Manafort has been treated very unfairly and is a very good person, do you agree?

How fucking stupid does Orangetweet have to be to weigh in on a trial prosecuted by his own DOJ?

The massive and continual incompetence is astounding.

Are you surprised? Why doesn’t he fire Mueller?

I don't think he should be prosecuted. The FBI declined before to do so.

Why don't you think so? The evidence in court was lots of bookwork and testimony from those in staff. His accountants and bookkeepers. Do you think he should not be punished for breaking the law?

Even his family has reservations about him.

...Andrea Manafort responded by referring to their father’s relationship with Trump as “The most dangerous friendship in America,” while in another exchange she called them “a perfect pair” of “power-hungry egomaniacs,” and asserted “the only reason my dad is doing this campaign is for sport. He likes the challenge. It's like an egomaniac's chess game. There's no money motivation.” By contrast, the Manafort daughters and their mother seemed much more unsettled about Paul Manafort’s work as a political consultant for Yanukovych’s Russia-backed Party of Regions, which is a subject of renewed interest among investigators probing possible links between Trump’s campaign and Russia...

In one March 2015 exchange that appears to be between the two sisters, Andrea Manafort seems to suggest that their father bore some responsibility for the deaths of protesters at the hands of police loyal to Yanukovych during a monthslong uprising that started in late 2013.

“Don't fool yourself,” Andrea Manafort wrote. “That money we have is blood money.”

In another hacked exchange a few months later with someone else, Andrea Manafort wrote that her father’s “work and payment in Ukraine is legally questionable.”

Manafort acknowledged that his daughter Andrea had been hacked and corroborated the authenticity of at least some of the texts between him and her, but declined to comment on most of them...
