What if Manafort was actually spying on the Trump campaign for Russia, who was in turn feeding that intel back to Clinton?

Why else would Manafort be briefing the Russians on Trump? If Russia were helping, wouldn't the briefings be coming FROM them, as opposed to going TO them?

That's the problem with demanding investigations when your own side is dirty. You never know where or when something might lead back to you.

This is getting REAL interesting. [/quote]

So Manafort, whose days with he GOP go back to before Lee Atwater, was a Clinton operative? I want what you're drinking.[/quote]

The third act twist no one saw coming!

No. That the Russians would've much rather seen a Clinton presidency because of the previous arrangements with the Clintons (Uranium One, etc)

It was in the interest of Russia to have her in the Whitehouse rather than Trump. So spying on his campaign with a long time asset (Manafort) to pass info back to the Clintons to use to defeat Trump makes sense.

Complicating this whole mess was the hacked email scandal though, which may or may not have been done by the Russians, but pushed Clinton into a face-saving escalation of hostilities against them.

I shudder to think that we'd literally fight a war - a NUCLEAR WAR - with Russia over something so trivial as hacked emails, but with the way she was ratcheting up the rhetoric, it was conceivable. Thank God that crazy harpy didn't get elected. [/quote]
