Something else I need to straighten out. Ukraine never backed the Hillary Campaign nor supplied false information to benefit her.
The "black ledgers" were first reported in the USA because it was news, not because it was a scandal that would damage Trump.
The "black ledgers" are real and the payments to Manafort were real and he did not report them on any filings, including income tax, with the USA government.
This entire concept that somehow the "black ledgers" were some kind of support for Clinton is silly. It was news that should have been reported. To conceal such news would be adverse to the public good. Politicians and their staff sometimes do very bad things, it is reported to the public so they can make informed decisions.
