Manafort is like a character from a Coen Brothers movie

[Yavin4]

Greedy. Stupid. Gets in way over his head. Pisses off dangerous, powerful people. And then leaves a trail of chaos to cover his tracks.

Think Jerry Lundegaard (Fargo), Llewelyn Moss(No Country for Old Men), Linda Litzke and Chad Feldheimer(Burn After Reading), Bernie Bernbaum(Miller's Crossing).

1. You nailed it how true

[syringis]

2. Jerry Lundegaard. Definitely

I thought of another comparison : What a carve up ! Written by Jonathan Coe

3. Compare

[Sedona]

4. Fargo Season 3

Emmit Stussy, parking lot king and money launderer for Russians.

5. Impressive

Such an appropriate analogy, impressive you knew the character names. I love the Coen brothers, especially "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

6. First time I saw Manafort's picture,

my immediate reaction was that he looked like a mafioso Don. A real goombah. Paul Sorvino should play his role in the Trump movie. Then when I learned that he worked for the Ukrainian mobsters, my original opinion was confirmed. Do we need to know anything else about what kind of people Trump surrounds himself with? You go Mr Mueller!

[PatSeg]

10. Oh yes

Paul Sorvino would be perfect. Manafort reminded me of him the first time I saw him, physically that is.

You know, this whole administration reminds me of a Coen Brothers movie, though it would take a very long mini series to tell the story.

7. and

He has 30million$ + that allows this POS and rest sans a sacrificial pawn or two, to walk. I cannot wait to see how this kabuki theater plays out. Money is God to these people and their God allows them to walk FREE after the most heinous of crimes against humanty...the most egregious being the fact that ameriKKKa now has a second installed potus, installed by putin himself with the help of unnamed 3rd party culprits.

8. I'd love to see him cowering

in the woods like Bernie Bernbaum.

[Xipe Totec]

9. Or like Freddy Benson from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels nt

[uponit7771]

11. Bingo!!! That's who should do the movie!!!

[Sedona]

12. Steve Buchemi's fate would be too good for these traitors
