This editorial is premature and somewhat incorrect.  Manafort didn't make his money as an "imagemaker" but by selling access to American lawmakers and by influence peddling.  The big question that hovers in the air is what did Russia and the Ukraine get for the many millions they paid him over a period of 10 years.  And the New York Times has reported recent activity: "as the investigations of his activities heated up, Mr. Manafort continued to solicit international business. In recent months, associates say, he traveled to Ecuador; Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates; and Iraqi Kurdistan, among other places, and did little to discourage the perception that clients and potential clients could stand to benefit from his connections to Mr. Trump."
