No matter how much you hate Paul Manafort, it's not enough, here's why:

Robert Evans does a podcast called Behind the Bastards, which tells the sometimes humorous and always interesting back stories behind some of history's greatest monsters. He's done folks like Stalin, Osama bin Laden, Harvey Weinstein, King Leopold II of Belgium (wiped out millions in the Congo), and Idi Amin.

This week he did a two-parter on Paul Manafort.

Part 1.

Part 2.

From the description:

Paul Manafort invented some of the very worst parts of our modern world. In a real way, he is one of the architects of our current national nightmare. In Episode 15, Robert is joined by comedian, Dave Ross (Suicide Buddies Podcast) to discuss Paul Manafort aka The Man Who Donkey-Punched Democracy. Paul Manafort’s work with the Trump Campaign is actually just about the LEAST objectionable thing this man has done in his entire life. Manafort is a MAJOR bad guy!


There's too much to summarize here in any meaningful way, but if you want to get a good look at the type of people that Trump is willing to surround himself with, here's a great start.
