2/ It looks for all the world like Manafort was brought aboard Team Trump in February 2016 to assist with Rovt's "Ukraine peace deal"a Russian sanctions dealand that when Trump fired Manafort, Rovt paid him $3.5 million for services rendered and to keep his f*cking mouth shut.
Etc

UPDATE/ I just found the link between Manafort and Rovt that I was speculating on in this thread. I'm embarrassed to say it only took me 60 seconds (literally).

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Ukrainian-American Alexander Rovt appears to have given Manafort a suspicious $3.5 million dollar loan right after Manafort left the Trump campaignand was a snitch risk. This creates a link between Manafort and the Ukraine peace deal. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/feds-subpoena-records-3-5m-mortgage-manaforts-home-n759866
