Trump unwittingly admitted Manafort is a key player in this drama.

Or someone using Trump did, and sent out Spicer to do damage control.

Spicer took great pains, in his press conference this afternoon, to say Manafort “played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time.” as campaign manager.
But did not admit Manafort's role as chairman of the campaign for several months.

even tho Comey said he could not name names he was investigating, and did not mention Manafort.

Never thought I would be this happy over someone's stupidity.
Panic is our friend.

I'm sure Manafort was nothing more than a glorified coffee boy, right?

The equivalent in Hillary's campaign was Podesta, just to drive the point home.
