The former campaign chairman for President Donald Trump has been targeted by investigators probing alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election, and a New York Times report revealed he had continued lobbying on behalf of foreign interests.
Right around the time Manaforts home was raided before dawn by federal agents, the newspaper reported, he started working for groups allied with Iraqs Kurdish minority to promote a referendum for independence thats officially opposed by the U.S.
Federal prosecutors warned Manafort afterward that they planned to indict him and the former campaign chairman began making plans to travel overseas.

Very efficient.
I'm not sure about the Kurdish minority and independence. Maybe that would actually be a good thing, in theory.

(10,749 posts)How many privately owned Russian planes are there in the US right now?
If he's planning to go on the run, what does that do to the "flip Manafort" line of reasoning?
And what does going on the run imply about everyone else in this sordid and treasonous affair?

Was there not a secret russian plane park near a Trump property.
I think a lot of rats are going to take a run for it.
Maybe a russian sub near by.
Don jr. does not want his SS protection now.
It is getting hot.
