Everyone makes fun of the third wise man for gifting myrrh. It’s old-timey A+D ointment. He brought diaper rash cream. Most relevant baby gift there.

Paul Manafort does not stand out among Trump’s advisors as a convicted criminal. So many are. He does stand out for his experience in working directly for the Kremlin, managing clients of the Kremlin, and getting into debt to a Russian oligarch and trying to pay it back in political favors.
