Comey Disclosures Leave Trump Alone On Island of Conspiracy Theories
Looks like Team Trump is already preparing to throw Paul Manafort under the bus as they anticipate more leaks about Manaforts dealings with a pro-Russian Ukrainian leader
Manafort is now just a "limited role player in the campaign for a short time"? He was the freak'n campaign manager for six months. Flynn was "just a volunteer"
The feedback loop kept spinning in Spicer's press briefing, where he distanced Trump from former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, whose ties to a pro-Putin leader in Ukraine have drawn scrutiny throughout the last year. Comey declined to comment on whether Manafort was under investigation on Monday and Manafort denied any involvement in the Russia hack. Spicer downplayed the issue, saying Manafort "played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time" on the campaign.
As reporters who covered Trump's run noted, this was ludicrous: Manafort served from March to August and effectively ran the campaign during a crucial stretch that included the decisive primary races and the Republican National Convention. Spicer also described Flynn as a mere "volunteer," an innocuous title for a key policy hand whose contributions led him to be named National Security Adviser.
