Because PP is trying to argue that finding a secret ledger showing $12.7 million in cash payments to Paul Manafort in a room containing two safes stuffed with $100 bills  is totally meaningless...  nothing to see here, move along people. [/quote]
I'm agnostic on what actually happened, but you have to admit both the NYT story and the sources they interviewed go to great lengths to state that the mere presence of his name in the ledgers doesn't actually prove he received anything.  [b]Other names had signatures next to them showing the money was received; his doesn't.[/b]  And playing a devil's advocate, it's not like the chain of evidence is museum quality here.  It's a handwritten notebook found in the trash of a ransacked building.  It's not like it's hard to make anything handwritten.  This evidence is consequential at best.  If Manafort was running for office, it would probably destroy his chances, but he remains a private citizen, and his reputation doesn't have to be pristine.  [/quote]

Your post generally makes sense, but if I am reading the NYT article correctly, there are signatures by Manafort's name, but the signatures aren't verified to be his.
