Now More Than Ever,
Manafort Looks Like a Kremlin Agent


John Schindler @ Observer:
Michael Cohen’s guilty plea in Federal court Tuesday afternoon dealt a powerful blow to the president, and it was followed in one-two-punch fashion by a potentially devastating hook from Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, who’s been making the rounds explaining that his client will be “more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows” about any crimes, collusion and hacking. Yesterday, investigators added yet another slap to the face with a subpoena for Cohen in their investigation into the Trump Foundation.

But the deadlier blow—the one that kills you days or weeks later—
may have come from Paul Manafort...
