"Legal Yeet"

Yeeted: 2018-08-21

Got wrecked on tax and bank fraud counts out of the Russia probe, ending his comeback-guy act in a courtroom instead of a campaign.

Paul Manafort is a longtime Republican consultant and former Trump campaign chairman whose political résumé stretches from domestic campaigns to overseas strongmen and influence work. He led Trump’s 2016 campaign for a crucial stretch before becoming one of the highest-profile casualties of the Russia investigation. Manafort always gave off the energy of a man who thought the rules were optional for people with the right clients, the right offshore accounts, and the right level of expensive tailoring. On Yeeted or Seated, he is the velvet-draped embodiment of corruption-by-habit — slick, transactional, and eventually very, very indictable.
