Revenge isn't a bad dish when served hot either, am I right?

(82,849 posts)4. We'll have to see how this develops
Lewandowski may be content to sit back and smile as Manafort goes down in flames, but if the story doesn't grow legs or pique the proper interest in the right quarters, Lewandowski may be back out to try to drum up interest in Manafort's corruption. My guess is that it would be in an oblique way, "Well, {some unspecified, unsourced rumor} is certainly not good for the Clinton campaign, but perhaps it will blow over like the Paul Manafort-Ukraine corruption allegations."

He found sanctuary in Russia and never returned, as his patron, President Vladimir V. Putin, proceeded to dismember Ukraine, annexing Crimea and fomenting a war in two other provinces that continues.
Mr. Manafort was undaunted.
Within months of his clients political demise, he went to work seeking to bring his disgraced party back to power, much as he had Mr. Yanukovych himself nearly a decade earlier. Mr. Manafort has already had some success, with former Yanukovych loyalists and some Communists forming a new bloc opposing Ukraines struggling pro-Western government.
And now Mr. Manafort has taken on a much larger campaign, seeking to turn Donald J. Trump into a winning presidential candidate..........................
