By the account of his lawyer, Paul Manafort went to work in Ukraine in 2005 with the most spotless of intentions. [He] represented pro-European Union campaigns for the Ukrainians, the attorney, Kevin Downing, said in a statement. And in the course of that representation he was seeking to further democracy and to help the Ukrainians come closer to the United States and to the E.U.
But thats not how U.S. diplomats saw it at the time. A U.S. embassy cable sent from Kiev to Washington in 2006 described Manaforts job as giving an extreme makeover to a presidential hopeful named Viktor Yanukovych, who had the backing of the Kremlin and most of Ukraines wealthiest tycoons. His Party of Regions, the cable said, was a haven for mobsters and oligarchs.
