Feds investigate Manafort firm as part of Ukraine probe

http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/19/politics/paul-manafort-donald-trump-ukraine/index.html

FBI and Justice Department prosecutors are conducting an investigation into possible US ties to alleged corruption of the former pro-Russian president of Ukraine, including the work of Paul Manafort's firm, according to multiple US law enforcement officials.
The investigation is broad and is looking into whether US companies and the financial system were used to aid alleged corruption by the party of former president Viktor Yanukovych.

Manafort, who resigned as chairman of Donald Trump's campaign Friday, has not been the focus of the probe, according to the law enforcement officials. The investigation is ongoing and prosecutors haven't ruled anything out, the officials said.


What Manafort forgot when he took this high profile gig, probably lured my the money and power, is that scum like him only stay out of trouble by keeping to the shadows.

What about US ties to alleged Ukrainian corruption involving the current mob in power in Kiev as well as prior?
