(1 of 2) Paul Manafort—a longtime associate of Howard Liebe…

(2 of 2) I believe this is a coincidence. That said, because I don't think Manafort aiding and abetting a rally that ended in insurrection is coincidence, I have to assume that—out of an abundance of caution—law enforcement will investigate any possible Manafort-Liebengood link.

(PS) It is vital that no one presume connections where there may be none. My point is that as a criminal investigative matter, Manafort will be investigated for any role he had in the Save America March, and Liebengood's suicide would naturally be investigated due to its context.

(PS2) I'm sure there'll be those who say that a Donald Trump event giving tons of money to a company that enriches Paul Manafort at a time when Trump continues to need Manafort to stay quiet and Manafort is having money problems is a mere coincidence.

*That* I do not agree with.

(PS3) By the same token, as a federal criminal investigative matter, when you are about to have numerous investigations into whether security at a government building had been pre-compromised and someone who worked security at that building commits suicide, it gets investigated.

(PS4) So it's only natural to say that if there's a potential association between two necessary investigations, it's something that might be briefly looked at. And all the more so due to the Manafort-January 6, Manafort-Stone, Stone-Proud Boy, and Proud Boy-January 6 connections.

(PS5) I think it's certainly a bridge too far to note that Manafort's former boss, Putin, is known for killing people and making it look like a suicide. But it's Trump and Manafort's fault that all Americans have this awareness of suspicious suicides that we didn't have pre-2015.

(PS6) Do I think there was a conspiracy behind January 6? Absolutely—that's what Ali Alexander has already said, and what many members of Congress have said publicly they believe. But I have no reason whatsoever to think Liebengood was involved. I won't say the same for Manafort.

(DOCUMENT4) For what it's worth—likely nothing, beyond being a curiosity—this is the most famous suspected assassination that Putin made look like a suicide.

It happened in Washington, D.C. while Trump was a presidential candidate.

(DOCUMENT5) Far more relevant is that Stone and Manafort are longtime business partners and Trump associates, and that Stone invented "Stop the Steal" even as Manafort's company produced the most significant event ever held under the "Stop the Steal" mantra—the January 6 "rally."

(NOTE) Those who've read the Proof trilogy—Proof of Collusion (2018), Proof of Conspiracy (2019), and Proof of Corruption (2020)—will already know this, but in 2005-2006 Paul Manafort signed a contract to advance Putin's interests in the US. It's unknown if the contract persists.
