Sort of a contest to see how many ways journos can avoid saying, "#Trump plans to rehire confessed money launderer who conspired with his business partner, an alleged Russian spy," or at least burying that behind 5 ¶¶ making it look like a sound hire.

@GottaLaff I'm all OCD on calling the press 'MAGA collaborators' (where the shoe fits) today. Not identifying Manafort's international history of spycraft is clearly collaborationist activity.
@GottaLaff At History is going to have to tell us which trump whitewashers were pawns versus collaborators. There is a proximity of the CEOs of big media to known collaborators like Musk, the Supreme Court donors. the leaders of the Federalist Society, the Heritage foundation, the Murdochs.
@GottaLaff. With the reappearance of each old crook/evildoer -- Manafort, Flynn, Miller (who is next?), I feel like we're watching episodes of the Love Boat, with #fascists as the special guests.
