Paul Manafort Indicted
- Zigurd 9y agoNot a good person. He essentially worked for Russian interests in Ukraine in ways that got Ukrainians killed, never mind being directly opposed to US interests. He has also worked against the Magnitsky sanctions, which takes some extraordinary moral flexibility. He took blood money. Then he evaded taxes on blood money. Manafort's client, Yaunukovich fled for his life from the people he betrayed. After Mueller is done with him, the Ukrainians probably want a piece of Manafort. This isn't just acting on behalf of foreign commercial interests in the "we'd like you to buy our steel or grain or whatever" way. This is working for an adversary of the US, to subvert US interests with the highest stakes for the future of Europe.
