There are some things you can’t even fathom.

Recall that Trump pardoned Paul Manafort (mostly to avoid Manafort’s diming Tangerine himself out, in all of this), who was then on home confinement (due to COVID-19, having been released from prison due to his age and frail immune system), but was still serving a 73 month multi-count felony sentence, for secretly taking money from enemy governments, and money laundering (among other things). Recall that Manafort was deeply implicated in consorting with contacts of Russian spies, during the time when HRC’s internal campaign docs turned up in Russia’s hands.

But as EmptyWheel makes plain this morning, this jamoke (who had previously been sentenced to what amounted to “life“, pre-COVID-19, and was incarcerated for what would be “life“, in all likelihood, given his age) is likely to be rehired by Trump, as he gets the gang back together in Milwaukee, at the GOP Convention this summer.

A convicted felon, running fundraising, for the GOP?

This is not Abe’s party — nor even Tricky Dick’s party. Trump is simply an extended, but inept… criminal enterprise.

A mob operation. Damn.
