Claire McCaskill on Manafort, Trump: They ‘Saw the Campaign as a Way to Make More Money’

EXCERPT:

MCCASKILL: "I’m not sure about that. Why are the Democrats being careful about his kids? I think there’s a lot there. And there’s no question that there is like kind of the concept of a bed of nails, there’s so many nails, it doesn’t feel painful to the Republican Party anymore. But you have got to really think about this, if we want judgment in our President, the judgment of this President and who he picked at moments of crisis to be the guy, and you know what they had in common, Manafort and Donald Trump? Money. His dirty book of business, Nicolle, for Paul Manafort was all about making money. He could make more money if he was serving the underbelly. And Trump wanted to make more money. He saw the campaign as a way to make more money. The Moscow tower was all about making more money. So the American people I think need to really think about that, that his judgment of — he can say all he wants that oh, he wasn’t that big of a deal. He picked him. He picked all of these guys."
