Manafort shared sensitive internal polling data with Klimmick (sp?), a known Russian intelligence asset/agent. State-related Russian actors (including the dearly departed Proghozin (sp?)) then used that data to target ads on Facebook and other social media. At minimum, that was campaign coordination.
Had Manafort flipped (i.e., not been able to count on a pardon), we may have learned of a lot more.

Yeah, they authoritarians often are. They are small-minded people. But sometimes they "win."
January 6 was a clown show because they couldn't get the right people (especially at DOD) to go along with it. They understand that and are already making plans to prevent that sort of thing from happening again.
