Aug. 19 was an eventful day for Paul Manafort.

That morning, he stepped down from guiding Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign, after a brief tenure during which Mr. Trump won the Republican nomination, Democrats’ emails were hacked and the campaign’s contacts with Russia came under scrutiny. Dogged by revelations about past financial dealings in Ukraine, Mr. Manafort retreated from public view.

But behind the scenes, he was busy with other matters. Papers were recorded that same day creating a shell company controlled by Mr. Manafort that soon received $13 million in loans from two businesses with ties to Mr. Trump, including one that partners with a Ukrainian-born billionaire and another led by a Trump economic adviser.

1. Manafort is the nexus

I don't know how he finds the time for all this skullduggery.

2. If he'd already received big bucks from Russian bizness dealings

Why did he need big-@$$ loans?

& from Ukraine bizness man? Tillerson said who cares about Ukraine stuff.Maybe the loans are another reason for "US taxpayers" to care about Ukraine stuff.

Y'know, this is all so deep & thick, this HAS to shake loose & bring these creeps down. Tooo much to hide for much longer. Please God.
