If Manafort was a garden variety crook I might have more sympathy for him.

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.

But the dictators he propped up hurt and killed people. Let's not forget that. It was hiding the filthy lucre he got for those deeds that landed him where he is.

1. From Manafort's daughter's hacked text messages:

In a series of texts reviewed by Business Insider that appear to have been sent by Andrea to her sister, Jessica, in March 2015, Andrea said their father had "no moral or legal compass."

...

"Don't fool yourself," Andrea wrote to her sister, according to the texts. "That money we have is blood money."

"You know he has killed people in Ukraine? Knowingly," she continued, according to the reviewed texts. "As a tactic to outrage the world and get focus on Ukraine. Remember when there were all those deaths taking place. A while back. About a year ago. Revolts and what not. Do you know whose strategy that was to cause that, to send those people out and get them slaughtered."

…

"He is cash poor right now," the text said. "And now Ukraine is late in paying him."

...

"He is a sick f---ing tyrant," Andrea appears to have said to Bond about her father. "And we keep showing up and dancing for him. ... We just keep showing up and eating the lobster. Nothing changes."

3. HA! I love it!

I heard on CNN that the jail he was sent to was the worst option...full of rats, roaches, etc. That made my day. I guess he will get along with his fellow rats just fine. No Father's Day celebrations for him. SAD, BIGLY!
