Manafort was the one who got the GOP platform changed on the hush-hush. I'm sure Chump was fine with it, but he looked the other way while Manafort did the dirty work.

We know from Fiona Hill trump only ever acted with his own self-interest in mind, never the country's, so all Manafort had to do was tell trump this would make Putin like him and trump would be all in.
