Fusion editor hints at a "worse" story for Manafort, coming out later this week.

There are lots of damning tweets in this article, along with Weinstein's ominous tweet.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-202/2016/08/15/daily-202-can-trump-chairman-paul-manafort-survive-new-ukraine-revelations/57b0ec7ccd249a2fe363ba20/

Adam Weinstein, Twitter

Speaking as someone who has a story coming this week: This is just the beginning for Manafort. It gets worse.


David Frum, Twitter

Assuming it is Trump to whom Manafort ultimately answers. But that’s a question now, isn’t it?

He said he is a volunteer, something really stinks about this and worse Republicans would even allow this to happen in THEIR party. He has access to our American government elections.

Why should Trump respect anyone who values his own work so little?

National Security? Paul Ryan sent a letter to the Security Briefing committee about HRC but ignores T-rump.

I know that the GOP knew T-rump and his top campaign members had ties with Russia.

And McConnell knew about the ties to Russia and this story has legs, this could bring down the entire GOP.
