Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #60

You need to wear a seat belt for this sh*t.

Andrew E. Kramer writes for The New York Times: "Paul Manafort, former L'Orange campaign chief, faces new allegations in Ukraine." And: "KIEV, Ukraine — After his name surfaced last August in a secret ledger listing millions of dollars in payments from a pro-Russian party in Ukraine, Paul Manafort not only lost his job running Overlord L'Orange's presidential campaign but also assumed center stage in a bizarre internecine struggle among Ukrainian political forces."

"On Monday, the intrigue took another turn, when a member of Parliament in Ukraine released documents that he said showed that Mr. Manafort took steps to hide the payments, which were tied to Mr. Manafort’s work for former President Viktor F. Yanukovych. The documents included an invoice that appeared to show $750,000 funneled through an offshore account and disguised as payment for computers."

Grant Stern adds: "Manafort intricately managed L'Orange's campaign during the key time period of the Republican National Convention, when a floor challenge nearly upended the primaries."

"Luckily, his L'Orange Tower residence gave him easy access to the candidate who usually flew home overnight to sleep."

"He's old partners with Roger Stone, who spent the whole summer chatting with Russian hackers who - good fortune! - were prepared to help Overlord L'Orange."

"What do to? Treason or winning? I think we know how this story is turning out..."

Sheila Norton writes for Occupy Democrats: "A top Congresswoman just made the L'Orange announcement we've all been waiting for." And: "Get ready for impeachment."

"Never in the history of the United States has so much corruption flooded into the executive branch in such a short amount of time. Just 61 days into this presidency, this regime is already beyond the point of implosion. All that remains is to put a stop to the damage and begin cleaning up the mess."

"If Congresswoman Waters is right, that process is about to begin."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "The Washington Post just uncovered a shady L'Orange-Russia money trail." And: "New financial documents have been released by a top Ukrainian politician and journalist that appear to show Overlord L'Orange's former campaign manager Paul Manafort laundering political money through offshore accounts in Belize and Kyrgyzstan. The information uncovered by Serhiy Leshchenko further muddies the waters surrounding L'Orange and his team’s ties to pro-Putin dictators – and to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin himself."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "Nixon's Watergate lawyer just predicted the end of L'Orange: 'He's showing how damn guilty he is.'" And: "I was more stunned by the reaction of the White House and their handling of it, which seemed to me to be over the top…They are in a cover-up mode. There`s just never been any question in my mind about that. I`ve been inside a cover-up. I know how they look and feel. And every signal they are sending is we`re covering this up."

"Experienced investigators know this. They know how people react when they`re being pursued."

"This White House is not showing their innocence, they are showing how damn
guilty they are, is what we`re seeing. So, this is par for the course. And they seem to have learned nothing from history because there have been too many cover-ups. And they are just typical in that they`re trying to distance themselves from people that are involved."
