And don't forget Manafort's long history of working with (for?) Russia, including in 2016 giving Trump campaign data to the Russians.Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is expected to include Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager he pardoned, as a campaign adviser later this year, the Washington Post reported on Monday, citing four people familiar with the talks.
The job discussions have largely centered around the 2024 Republican convention in Milwaukee in July and could include Manafort playing a role in fundraising for Trump's campaign, the report said.
Trump pardoned Manafort in 2020, seven months after he was released to home confinement, sparing the long-time Republican operative from serving the bulk of his 7-1/2-year prison term for federal tax evasion and bank fraud.

Coincidentally, reports have recently been revived that Trump asked his Defense Secretary Mark Esper if we couldn't just shoot protesters. Well...
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
Ukrainian prosecutors investigating [2014] protests have said that [then-president Viktor] Yanukovych [a strongman and a prominent figure in Ukraine's pro-Russia party] ordered security forces to open fire on protesters, and some are looking into whether Manafort had a hand in encouraging Yanukovych.
