1. Holy crap! The Manafort Candidate indeed.

[UCmeNdc]

2. Hint: There is still more there

The press is getting close now. But Trump and Manafort have a few more secrets there. Secrets that are not good for the US.

[Jerry442]

3. Who's next?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. K&R

5. Trump's first security briefing today - Manafort out last night

I doubt that is a coincidence. I suspect that the security people in charge of the briefing told Trump that if Manafort was part of the team to be briefed, they would get very little information.

I wouldn't trust any of Trump's other selections for his team but they may not have been the obvious security risk that Manafort obviously is.

8. good point! This Crimea thing is serious shit.

[berksdem]

11. I was...

I was thinking the same exact thing...

[tanyev]

12. Yes, but there's nothing to stop Trump from telling Manafort everything that was discussed.

Except Trump's probably not so good at details on anything that's not about himself.

[Hortensis]

17. No need for that. Manafort is a major embarrassment.

They demoted him AS very damaging information broke, though. Not at all a coincidence for a Trump operation too dysfunctional and corrupted to act sooner.

6. Scotland, you're next. Call me a "Toupéd fucktrumpet," a "Cocksplat" and more. You'll see, losers!

15. Come on. No one is going to believe that.

The proposition Donald Trump could spell "matroyshka" is so ridiculous it deserves no further consideration.

[the devil]

18. but...but...but...

he has the best words!

[jmowreader]

22. He also has the best addresses

1 Bowling Green, Manhattan; 1616 Hazen Street, The Bronx; 5880 Colorado 67, Florence, CO; 4200 Bureau Road North, Terre Haute, IN; 1300 Metropolitan Ave., Leavenworth, KS; and 354 Hunter Street, Ossining, NY; all come to mind as perfect addresses for The Donald.

[central scrutinizer]

23. Or the best auto correct ever!

[TheBlackAdder]

24. Darn! It's the littlest errors that reveal a fake. I should have realized that glaring mistake.

[RapSoDee]

7. The freaking Republicans and their chickenhawk "leaders"

They all need to move to freaking Russia and leave the USA alone.

[Chimichurri]

9. Despicable

[yardwork]

10. This is incredible.

[Hekate]

13. KnR. As this unfolds, words increasingly fail me.

"Organized Plot to destroy the US" increasingly comes to mind. May they all be reborn as cockroaches.

[get the red out]

21. And Manafort is still part of the campaign

What other candidate wouldn't have fired the guy by now? Long before now!

The Russian banks, mob, Putin, whatever have Trump by the balls IMO. So Manafort is still there.

[fleabiscuit]

14. K&R

[jalan48]

16. The ascension of the Oligarchs.

New World Order?

[sarcasmo]

19. Kick for keeping up the pressure.

[Native]

20. Thanks for this - I saw it earlier, but refused to subscribe so I could read the article.

Was there anything else of note in the article?

[NastyRiffraff]

25. And meanwhile, Republican congresspeople are busy investigating

Hillary Clinton's emails. Again.

National security? What do they care when they can study Clinton emails while pretending they pose a national security risk.
