Inexplicably, Manafort decided to offer his campaign services to Yanukovych after he tried to steal an election in 2004 from the least corrupt leading politician in Ukraine, Victor Yuschenko. It is not at all inexplicable. He did it for money - HUGE quantities of money. He is an unprincipled piece of human garbage.

Good article.
Inexplicably, Manafort decided to offer his campaign services to Yanukovych after he tried to steal an election in 2004 from the least corrupt leading politician in Ukraine, Victor Yuschenko. Before the election, Yuschenko was even poisoned with dioxin. When Yanukovych tried to steal the election during the vote itself, this provoked the Orange Revolution in which hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians protested on the streets of Kiev. Yanukovych backed down. There was a re-election. Yuschenko won the revote.
I remember the stories going around that Yuschenko poisoned himself just to make Putin look bad. Funny.

Is any one at all surprised to see an establishment Republican operative taking money to support a Fascist government?
