Then You're not qualified to pretend to have an opinion on the subject.  

Ukrainians wanted Paul Manafort in jail.  This is not news.  A word of advice: if you ever decide to spend decades of your life living in other countries and running political campaigns that are designed to make one half of that country hate the other half, expect to make enemies! Make sure that every other aspect of your life is on the up and up! It's never a good idea to cheat on your taxes or embezzle money from mobsters, but especially don't cheat on your taxes or embezzle mobster funds when you have so many enemies in so many countries...

So when other countries FABRICATE EVIDENCE (black ledger) about a REPUBLICAN: hey that's just how the game is played!  Go big or go home!  When Republican wants the TRUTH about said fabrication: ABUSE OF POWER IMPEACH IMPEACH!!!

I have never understood why Trump supporters use the word "spy" so much. When the Patriots tried to get the Rams' play call signals, that was spying. The Rams were the Patriots' enemy.  The Patriots were using deceit and trickery to get information that the Rams did not want them to have. When the NFL went and investigated all of that, that was not spying. The refs are not the enemy. The league officials are not the enemy. Enforcing the rules is not spying.
Similarly, the FBI was not the Trump campaign's enemy. The other campaigns were. To the extent that the FBI gathered information from the Trump campaign, they did not share that information with the Clinton campaign or any other enemy of the Trump campaign.

Have u been paying attention?  The FBI fabricated evidence, spied on the campaign, leaked details about the investigation to the Clinton campaign, then helped leak the dossier when their election interference failed!  Pay attention!

The guy cheated on his taxes for about a decade. The FBI was investigating it in 2014. The black ledger turns up in 2016. Maybe the black ledger influenced the investigation.  Maybe not.  But it wasn't admitted in court, right? Manafort is in jail because there was plenty of credible evidence against him, regardless of if the black ledger is authentic or not.
