More reading today... It seems Manafort told his accountant to expect "$2.4 billion more from the Ukraine" in 2016. He had spent the past year working for the Trump campaign; Why would Manafort be expecting an additional $2.4 million dollars from a political campaign in Ukraine closely aligned to Moscow, and run by someone with ties to the FSB?
He is claiming it was money that was "past due". Bullshit. That was for work he did during Trump's campaign during the election. No one says "oh yeah, I forgot to mention I am getting an extra $2.4 million for past due work".
You already know where this is going. There is not going to be any emails between him and Ukrainians saying "Oh, we owe you extra money from past work". If there was no communication between him and his former employer about money due from past work.... I would say "connect the dots" but we are way past that point now aren't we?
