Aside from the links to the Podesta Group, many of the tactics used by Manafort were used by the Clintons through their foundation. Shell purchases, foreign money transfers, shell companies and other methods were all used before, during, and after Hillary’s time at State. Obama had his own ties to similar people. Anyone remember Tony Rezko?
This has all been orchestrated to provide insulation for the Clintons later. Any accusations leveled against them will be dismissed as politically motivated deflection by Trump.
‘An attempt to muddy the waters’ will be the MSM refrain.
