either he s fairly sophisticated in terms of hiding corruption and criminality right. or he is a big enough player that most people tasked with going after criminals left him alone. we know donations and maybe who knows why he was in the case of manafort, right, manafort was not a lot of what manafort was not doing particularly sophisticated there s a bunch of red flags, and we know he was out there doing it ten years before he ends up facing criminal sanction for it because someone started looking. by the way, and i had this conversation with tim o brien in 2016. that donald trump might live to regret running for president. that s it. manafort will regret it on that day he won. someone on twitter said, it s hilarious the president hates being president but can t quit because then he ll go to jail. that s what concerns the people he won t want to leave.
