text: What I can't figure out is, since Manafort and Gates had been obviously laundering money for years, why in the hell would they take such a high profile risk of being discovered by working on a Presidential camapaign? Especially one where the guy running for President is so disliked. It doesn't make any sense. Just straight greed? They had to know some digging was going to be done. Seriously, it doesn't make any sense.
