APRIL 8, 2016 on CNN:

"Campaigns have different phases. Trump has done a "historic" thing with this campaign with MESSAGE and SOCIAL MEDIA. Because the campaign comes in stages, TRUMP also realized that Winning isn't enough. It is HOW you WIN and HOW MUCH you WIN." - Paul Manafort - Now INDICTED By The FBI and Special Counsel ROBERT MULLER on October 30, 2017 - for Money Laundering, Conspiracy, Failure to File Reports of Foreign Banks, False and Misleading Statements During Elections, False and Misleading Statements After Election -- Bolded Phases For Emphasis.

1. "I've known Donald since the 80s."

I can't stand to hear this man speak.

4. Personally, I don't find listening to Manafort speak so bad...

It's pukeface Sean Hannity who I really can't stand. There's something about his smug arrogance that just makes me want to puke!

5. Him, too. I refuse to do it, actually. nt

2. Ask Trump Now and It's "Paul Who?"

With Trump, loyalty is just a one way street. You get indicted, or suffer some other misfortune that would reflect negatively on him, you're on your own, baby!

3. True....

But it's not going to help CHEETO, as in attempting to create a distance with Manafort and everyone knows Manafort and Trump are thick as thieves. Trump is GOING DOWN! Go ROBERT MULLER - GO!!!

6. "Trump says Manafort was on his team for a very short period"

Donald Trump was asked yesterday about his opinion on the FBI raiding the home of Paul Manafort, the president’s former campaign chairman. Trump replied:
“I thought it was a very, very strong signal, or whatever. I know Mr. Manafort – I haven’t spoken to him in a long time, but I know him. He was with the campaign, as you know, for a very short period of time, relatively short period of time.”

This is clearly the line Trump World has embraced with both arms. Then-White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer described Manafort in March as someone “who played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time.” Soon after, Spicer told reporters that Manafort was only part of the campaign operation “for five months.”

Former House speaker and Trump confidant Newt Gingrich said the White House was making the right move in running from Manafort.

“It makes perfect sense for them to distance themselves from somebody who apparently didn’t tell them what he was doing,” Gingrich said. “What works is to simply say that he never told them any of this, that if he told them that, then he would never have hired him and that this is Manafort’s problem.”

“I don’t see, despite the best efforts of the news media, how it becomes Trump’s problem,” Gingrich added. “All Trump has to say is, ‘None of us knew about it and when we did know about it, he was gone.’”

BUT the same article quotes a prior clip by Gingrich, stating:

That challenge was underscored by a Fox News clip that resurfaced Wednesday of Gingrich himself praising Manafort for his extensive work on the campaign.

“Nobody should underestimate how much Paul Manafort did to really help get this campaign to where it is right now,” Gingrich told Sean Hannity of Fox News in August.
