“2/ It looks for all the world like Manafort was brought aboard Team Trump in February 2016 to assist with Rovt's "Ukraine peace deal"—a Russian sanctions deal—and that when Trump fired Manafort, Rovt paid him $3.5 million for services rendered and to keep his f*cking mouth shut.”

Etc

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Ukrainian-American Alexander Rovt appears to have given Manafort a suspicious $3.5 million dollar loan right after Manafort left the Trump campaign—and was a snitch risk. This creates a link between Manafort and the Ukraine peace deal. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/feds-subpoena-records-3-5m-mortgage-manaforts-home-n759866 …

pnwmom has a link to the whole unrolled thread in post #7 that discusses how that info in the article from last year is now making sense and potential dots are being connected.
