Manafort’s work in the 1990s as a registered lobbyist for the Kashmiri American Council was only one part of a wide-ranging portfolio that, over several decades, included a gallery of controversial foreign clients ranging from Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos and Zaire’s brutal dictator Mobutu Sese Seko to an Angolan rebel leader accused by human rights groups of torture. His role as an adviser to Ukraine’s then prime minister, Viktor Yanukovych, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, prompted concerns within the Bush White House that he was undermining U.S. foreign policy. It was considered so politically toxic in 2008 that presidential candidate John McCain nixed plans for Manafort to manage the Republican National Convention — a move that caused a rupture between Manafort and his then business partner, Rick Davis, who at the time was McCain’s campaign manager.

Still better than Neil Bush. Only an idiot would support a candidate that put him on the financial team.

You know who else hired Paul Manafort? Ronald Reagan.
If Manafort is good enough to work for Reagan, it’s great to have him working for Trump.

MSNBC (Howard Fineman) said Manaforts last gig was the anti-Putin Ukraine candidate. He’s an internationally renown campaign guru.
