I know this might sound crazy to other liberals but there still is a chance that President Trump was unaware of some of the things going on behind the scenes....
Take Manafort....
first he had a mutual friend of Trump's and BEGGED HIM to recommend he be Trump's campaign manager to Trump.
Then Manafort sent a letter to Trump telling him why he was perfect for the job.
Trump hires him.
Then Manafort sends email to his partner, ''how can my new position help me 'get whole', with the Russian oligarch, putin connected that manafort owed $20 million to.
And another email arranging a personal update on the Trump campaign to the Russian, who flew in for the update....
ALL OF THAT stuff of Manafort's
Trump could have been unaware....Manafort could have been using Trump and his position for his advantage.....
yes, Trump has a talent for gathering seedy characters around him,
but knowing what they are all up to....? not so certain he cares or in a 'deniable plausibility manner' makes certain he doesn't know....?
Same with some of Cohen's alleged crooked dealings, Trump may not be involved or even know, all of them?
