NEW: There& #39;s one name stalking the impeachment proceedings, underpinning everything Trump and Giuliani tried to do in Ukraine: Paul Manafort. https://newrepublic.com/article/155738/paul-manaforts-lurid-shadow-hangs-impeachment">https://newrepublic.com/article/1...
At this point, it& #39;s clear the efforts in Ukraine weren& #39;t to just smear Biden—but to absolve Manafort of his crimes, potentially laying the groundwork for a pardon down the line. https://newrepublic.com/article/155738/paul-manaforts-lurid-shadow-hangs-impeachment">https://newrepublic.com/article/1...
Manafort& #39;s name keeps popping up time and again whenever new details of Giuliani& #39;s efforts in Ukraine spill out.
And it& #39;s already had an effect: Giuliani& #39;s smears keep costing leading anti-corruption voices in Ukraine their jobs, including those who unearthed Manafort& #39;s crimes.

And there& #39;s this: Giuliani bringing up Manafort to me via text (even though we weren& #39;t talking about him), grammatical challenges and all. https://newrepublic.com/article/155738/paul-manaforts-lurid-shadow-hangs-impeachment">https://newrepublic.com/article/1...
We actually caught a glimpse of the Manafort connect yesterday, when GOP counsel asked Taylor about the provenance of the “black ledger.”
Don’t be surprised if that keeps popping up—and keep in mind what it’s pointing to.

This @IgnatiusPost piece gets to the heart of the new questions about why Ukraine squelched investigations surrounding Manafort& #39;s previous work in Ukraine: #click=https://t.co/D5QOrTuuTd">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/did-the-trump-quid-pro-quo-begin-even-earlier-than-we-thought/2019/10/31/404b1b80-fc28-11e9-8906-ab6b60de9124_story.html #click=https://t.co/D5QOrTuuTd">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...
One other add: Manafort does have a previous business relationship with...
