Socialism will only magnify the corruption.

"First, Manafort advised the president and his political surrogates to more aggressively and directly attack the FBI and other elements of the federal law enforcement apparatus investigating his administration. The goal of Manafort’s advice was to “delegitimize” the investigation itself, one person familiar with the advice explained to me. Manafort wanted nothing less than to “declare a public relations war on the FBI,” this same person said. Another goal was to discredit then-FBI Director James Comey and other senior FBI officials — as it had become increasingly likely they would be witnesses against the president."

"Manafort also advised a senior administration official, through an intermediary, to attack the Justice Department, the FBI, and Obama administration officials for seeking court-authorized warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to eavesdrop on Manafort and a second campaign aide to Trump, Carter Page, as part of counterintelligence and criminal investigations into whether Manafort, Page, and others had conspired with Russia to help Trump win the 2016 presidential election."

"As part of these efforts, Trump and his allies on Capitol Hill — most notably, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), the outgoing chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence — made public sensitive classified information that endangered the lives of intelligence sources and interfered with ongoing criminal investigations. In May 2018, the Justice Department wrote to Nunes warning that information he was about to make public would “risk severe consequences, including potential loss of human lives, damage to relationships with valued international partners, compromise of ongoing criminal investigations and interference with intelligence activities.” Nunes released much of the information anyway. Trump himself ordered the declassification of other intelligence information that law enforcement and intelligence officials warned would do similar damage. "

"Second, Manafort counseled the White House to allege — albeit with no evidence to back up said charges — that the pro-Western Ukrainian government had colluded with the Democratic National Committee to try to help Hillary Clinton win the 2016 presidential election. A source with direct knowledge of the matter told me that the White House adopted Manafort’s recommendation in the summer of 2017 to specifically target Alexandra Chalupa, a political strategist and consultant for the DNC, for allegedly working with Ukrainian officials to hurt Trump’s candidacy. Despite a torrent of allegations, no evidence has surfaced that Chalupa or the DNC did anything wrong."

"Third, in early 2017, Manafort provided the White House specific information on how Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign had sponsored research into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. More specifically, Manafort provided information to the White House as to how to discredit the so-called Steele dossier, a report written by Christopher Steele, a former head of the Russia desk for the British intelligence agency MI6, about alleged ties that Trump and his associates had to Russia. (Manafort provided background to the White House’s attorneys about specific allegations and information in the dossier that he said was suspect.)"

I just hit the high points here; the article contains all the juicy details. So, apparently Manafort was telling the Trump administration how to deflect the accusations that were mounting and how to discredit the investigation. I should actually give a shout out to @uscvball as I am using her style of copying and pasting the red meat from the article while offering no opinion of my own. This article speaks for itself.

Trump comes from a world where money solves problems, money turns lies to “truth” and under the table bribes and payoffs are the norm.

He is finding government, as bad as it is, operates on a bit “higher” plane. That is the scary part!

It was her term and he cut in line.

You will see soon the real battle in 2019. I predict both going down in flames if the new house proceeds further.

By both I mean the Dems and GOP.

The next thing to follow is the calls for socialism to fix the corruption.

Nothing says higher plane like a tax payer rape defense fund.

This has to be a joke. The American government has propped up dictators who have murdered thousands, we have our own government trained killers who torture, kill, and yes, pay dirty camel fucking traitors to find targets. We have been in bed with the worst of the worst throughout history. There is no world in which the US government can claim higher plane or ground...none.
