Manafort is the focus of today. Podesta, perhaps tommorow.Just a slight distinction: Manafort isn't under investigation because he worked as a foreign lobbyist. He's under investigation because he got paid tens of millions of dollars by the Russians, did not report that income, did not pay taxes on that income, and instead illegally laundered it through various shell companies in Central America. That's what he's under investigation for. Did Podesta engage in illegal money laundering of tens of millions of dollars paid to him by the Russians? If not, I'd say it's not entirely an apt comparison.
