In reply to READ: The Op-Ed Manafort Is

would be nice to analyze *why* Manafort & others' claims are false, rather than just dismissing the op-ed as a love letter. From what I see at Wikipedia, during the 2010-2014 period, Yanukovych was pretty craftily playing the neutrality card while making some serious compromises with Russia over natural gas, Sevastopol military base and Medved/Putin's proposed new security alignment with Russia, Ukraine, France - are we surprised? Great benefit to participating in NATO games without committing to NATO, for example - I'm sure Putin liked those post-action summaries as well.

We were very fortunate in this period that fracking took away the seriousness of Russia's hold over Europe and Ukraine. Without that, the sanctions on Russia would likely have been ineffective. But Putin appears to have played his strategy wide, and we're reapiong the pain right now. Too bad the GOP doesn't have a McCarthy now when the threat's much more real and extends all through DC..

Corey Lewandowski claims in his forthcoming book that Steve Bannon argued against firing Paul Manafort after exposes re: off-books Ukrainian $$$.
INCORRECT, per my sources, who said Bannon told Trump that Manafort "has to go.” https://t.co/wD5XpcEqQS
