McCain Rejected Manafort Bid to run '08 GOP Convention. He suspected Russian oligarch Deripaska bought Manafort his apt in TrumpTower & didn't want anything to do w/ him. That sent M into a fit of rage and depression. Another great read from @FranklinFoer theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
"All the evidence for rejecting Paul Manafort as a man of dubious character was amply available in 2008." In profound contrast, Trump sees ties to Putin proxy Oleg Deripaska as a plus. He even wants to pardon Manafort for his dubious Russian oligarch ties. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Amazing to think McCain was on same Deripaska yacht as Nastya Rybka. This 2007 photo shows Russian oligarchs traveling far & wide in political circles in Putin's early days. Took another year for McCain to see Manafort's ties to Russia as a menace. By 2014, menace invaded Ukraine
Correction: Photo of McCain and adviser Rick Davis (Manafort partner) boarding Deripaska yacht off Montenegro coast, rented by Anne Hathaway's con artist Italian boyfriend, is from 2006 (not 2007 in PT). Orig report by @AriBerman & @MarkAmesExiled, 2008: thenation.com/doc/20080929/b…
