I've only skimmed this. What I didn't see was evidence that the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians for the purpose of electing Trump or that the POTUS knew about anything like that. What we do see is that the once Trump campaign's head (Manafort) was compromised by illegal foreign dealings and acting as their agent at the time he was running the campaign. Not good news for anyone.

SPC Kevin Ford - Not sure what they would "flip" Manafort to do - lose the election? He was already trying to win it.

Long term if you can get them to win the election and have them get a seat at the table as a result, you've bought yourself a mole in the executive.

SPC Kevin Ford - That's all well and good as a hypothetical ... but we are talking the reality of the indictment now ... and there are no such "collusion" charges anywhere in it. In fact, the money and representation charges significantly pre-date any involvement with Trump's campaign ... in fact, substantially pre-date his having a campaign. Since that is the whale that Mueller has been fishing for ... it is pretty apparent that he didn't find any collusion with which to charge Manafort.

LTC (Join to see) - That wasn't your question though. You asked what they could "flip" Manifort to do which is what I answered. Did they? As I said in my first post, nothing in the indictment we currently have confirms that. Regardless, having someone compromised running the campaign of the person who won the election is "Not good news for anyone."

When did these allegations occur? Clinton's pay to play are, in all probability more recent than these and yet, nothing mentioned by these collaborators posing as special councils. Who would have thought it?
