Remember, Trump barely knows Manafort. Manafort only lives in his building, ran his campaign, & continued to advise him in the White House.

Two things can be true: 1) manafort committed crime & should be prosecuted. 2) crime unrelated to campaign & plays into “witch hunt” theory

Reminder that Gates didn’t leave when Manafort left campaign. He still had role at RNC.
