Didn’t Jiveanka push for hiring Manafort?

No

Manafort at the time was considered a hero for VOLUNTEERING to help prevent Ted Cruz, the RNC and GOPe from corrupting the GOP delegate selection and nomination process . He knew the rules and procedures cold.

After Trump received the nomination he had WON, Manafort left the campaign - work for which he was NOT BEING PAID

Didn’t Jiveanka push for hiring Manafort?

I thought Manafort was widely acknowledged in DC as being the expert on convention delegate management, and was hired for that reason alone.

Manafort was released once the delegates were secured and the campaign moved to the general phase.

A less than 60 second search would reveal that Roger Stone recommended Manafort. But Cruz gets the ultimate credit. If he hadn’t been unabashedly poaching delegates that Trump had already won, Trump wouldn’t have asked Stone what to do about it, and Stone wouldn’t have recommended Manafort.
