Paul Manafort, who was the campaign chairman for Trump,
had ties to pro-Russian figures in the Ukraine and shared polling data with the Russian associates during the campaign. He was convicted of tax and bank fraud in 2018, later pardoned by Trump, like Michael Flynn was pardoned. Rick Gates, who was the decorated deputy chairman, he worked closely with Paul Manafort. He pled guilty to conspiracy and lying to investigators.

George Papadopoulos, I won't bring up because he was kind of a joke. And then Roger Stone was investigated for all his contacts With WikiLeaks, he was convicted of obstruction, lying to Congress, and witness tampering in 2019.

It's also... I think you've made this point, Shamath, as well, which is when you're running for the primaries, and I think Dean Phillips, when he was on the program, talked about this, you've got one agenda, and that tends to be a bit extreme because you're trying to get those extreme people in primaries to come out.
