Paul Manafort has also done more to destroy the nation of Ukraine than any man alive— other than Trump ally & Manafort boss Putin, for the whole Russia-Ukraine War that Trump wants to end by forcing Ukraine to surrender.

And Manafort began working with the Kremlin to recruit Trump to be a Kremlin asset (not agent, but asset all the same) starting *18-years ago*. And Trump knows this.

Trump rehiring Manafort is not like any political hiring we’ve ever seen in American history. It’s a man who’s facing 88 felonies, personal bankruptcy, professional bankruptcy, & the rest of his life in prison throwing a very public and unmistakable Hail Mary to the Kremlin and asking for its aid. Its aid in money, advice, intelligence, psyops, logistics *everything*.

It’s as close to announcing oneself as a hostile foreign agent determined to destroy the United States as you can get.

It was Paul Manafort who saved Trump from being in prison *already*. Trump rehiring Manafort is a payoff to cover up his own prior collusion. 🧵

Paul Manafort—a “Grave Counterintelligence Threat”

Manafort is a disgraced political operator and lobbyist who was pushed out as Trump’s campaign manager in 2016 after he had received millions of dollars in secret payments from a Russia-aligned leader. He was subsequently found guilty of crimes, including bank fraud, tax evasion, and obstruction of justice and sentenced to more than seven years in prison—but pardoned by Trump in the final weeks of his presidency. And the guy Trump put back on payroll is more than a sleazy wheeler-dealer; he was and still is —a national security threat.

Senate Intelligence Committee released a bipartisan 966-page report investigating the Russian attack on the 2016 election. Manafort had a starring role in this document, which labeled him a “grave counterintelligence threat.” This exhaustive report depicted Manafort as a key point of contact between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence.
