That's crap. When you take a prominent role in national politics, you sign up for more scrutiny than you would otherwise get. That goes with the turf. No one forced Manafort to take the job of being Trump's campaign manager, but it is hardly a surprise that his business dealings then got a lot more attention. He committed a bunch of crimes to which he had no defense.

This indictment is a vile and despicable as its target. In a perfect world, Trump would have actual billions, and commit tens of millions to beating the shit out Vance on behalf of Manafort.
In an even better world, this creates precedent allowing for the defense of selective prosecution. And the ethics investigation of Vance's office, and Cuomo's minions who put them up to this.

That's just nonsense. If you think that a sleaze like Manafort should be able to defraud people and get away with it, you should say so. Because that's what you're suggesting.
