Did Manafort Betray Trump?

Paul Manafort’s lawyer recently released previously redacted material, alleging that Manafort sent campaign data to Russia. The Daily Mail reports:

Former Donald Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort sent campaign polling data to an alleged Russian spy in the midst of the 2016 campaign, according to a filing by his lawyers that was not properly redacted.

Manafort’s lawyers strenuously pushed back against prosecutors in a memo filed under seal before a Monday night deadline – disputing the claim that he intentionally lied despite a deal to cooperate with authorities.

But due to an error, it was possible to read the memo in its entirety – including redacted material –  when it was posted on a court web site.

The former Trump campaign chair also ‘conceded’ that he had discussed a Ukraine peace plan with a former employee who Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office has said has ties to Russian intelligence.

If this turns out to be true, this would be a major betrayal of the President. Is this why Manafort was fired during the campaign?

That’s the classic M/O of the FBI suits who are on a mission to achieve the one goal they are told to do. They don’t care who they hurt, destroy or how many they know are lying to save their cowardly backsides.
