Here's more about the Manafort investigation from NBC News:

The FBI has been conducting a preliminary inquiry into Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort's foreign business connections, law enforcement and intelligence sources told NBC News Monday.

Word of the inquiry, which has not blossomed into a full-blown criminal investigation, comes just days after FBI Director James Comey's disclosure that his agency is examining a new batch of emails connected to an aide to Hillary Clinton.

And it comes a day after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid criticized Comey's revelation and asserted that Comey possesses "explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government."

The FBI did not comment. Manafort told NBC News "none of it is true ... There's no investigation going on by the FBI that I'm aware of." He said he had never had ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin, or had dealings with Putin and his government. He said any suggestion of such ties was "Democratic propaganda."

"This is all political propaganda, meant to deflect," he said.

NBC News reported in August that Manafort was a key player in multi-million-dollar business propositions with Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs — one of them a close Putin ally with alleged ties to organized crime — which foreign policy experts said raised questions about the pro-Russian bent of the Trump candidacy.

Two of the worst candidates in American History. No, the Worst in American History, and folks, we're witnessing it.
One is a communist, the other does business with them, neither care about the nation and both are extensions of the party's they represent!

What is there to investigate?   It's all there, in black & white, unlike Hillary who is trying to cover up her sordid and corrupt past - Trump is right there, front and center to the cameras & press, not hiding anything.  The guy's whole campaign has been built on controversy and negativism.  When he has a positive message, it was read off a teleprompter... which he can barely read.

Everyone knows who Manafort is, a FORMER campaign manager >yawn< his political ties to Ukraine, etc., etc.  a non-story.

Two bad candidates.  What would the MSM media do without them?

Spy told FBI that Russia has been 'cultivating' Trump for years, has blackmail material...
As part of the Hillary panic over her collapsing numbers, a story dropped about how a Russian spy told the FBI that they had been "cultivating" Trump for years.

More from the Hill:

In June, the officer, who now works for a U.S. firm gathering information on Russia for corporate clients, was told to research the Republican presidential nominee's dealings in Russia, Mother Jones reported Monday night.

"It started off as a fairly general inquiry," the ex-spy said.
As he searched, he says he found "an established exchange of information between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin of mutual benefit."

Citing it as an "extraordinary situation," he ex-intelligence officer sent a copy of his report to the FBI.

In it, he charged that Russian intelligence had "compromised" Trump and could "blackmail him" and that it had a file on Hillary Clinton compiled from "bugged conversations she had on various visits to Russia and intercepted phone calls."

He said FBI officials greeted his July memo with "shock and horror" but did not request additional information.

The FBI then asked him for more memos in August, he added, prompting him to submit dossiers on members of Trump's inner circle with ties to Russia.

"It's quite clear there was or is a pretty substantial inquiry going on," he said of the FBI's examination of Trump's links to Moscow.

"This is something of huge significance, way above party politics," the former spy added. "I think [Trump's] own party should be aware of this stuff as well."

If they have material on Trump can you imagine what info they have on Clinton, Inc.?

So...hypothetically here....IF both Hillary and Trump are indicted ...what happens to the election??  Pence - Kaine ...or would the RNC and DNC nominate the candidate with the next largest amount of EV?  Sanders -  Cruz??

The part I don't understand is if you have all that garbage in your pass why would you want to run to be president or run a presidential campaign and bring that crap to the forefront.

If Hillary doesn't run all of this get swept under the rug. The same goes for Trump. Then Manafort throws his hat in the ring to be a big shot and bingo the media digs and brings forth the fruits of his corrupt labor.

Oh well like Mr. Gump would say..." stupid is as stupid does".
