Texts which were taken out of context to support the manufactured narrative of Trump being an outsider and the “government” working against him.

the one you are referencing in your post. The one where Trump may have been being investigated for years. When did it start? You must have some idea with as much as you have already stated.

This is an earthquake.
and a typhoon, a volcano, a hurricane, and a tsunami at the same time.
Biggest scandal in U.S. History unfolding.

The Trump team has also downplayed how well the president and Manafort knew each other before the 2016 campaign. Manafort himself has said, “Donald Trump and I had some business in the 1980s but we had no relationship until the Trump campaign called me.”
The depth of their relationship pre-2016 isn’t well-known, but it’s clear Trump and Manafort have been operating in close circles for decades.
In 1980, Manafort, Charles Black, and Roger Stone (all Ronald Reagan campaign officials) opened a lobbying shop in Washington, D.C. One of their very first clients: Donald Trump, who employed the lobbying firm of Black, Manafort & Stone through the early 1990s.
.. snip ..
Here is a timeline to help piece together a clearer picture of their connections.
***
1972: Paul Manafort and Roger Stone are active in the College Republicans.
Their candidate to lead the group, John “Terry” Dolan, runs against Karl Rove, whose key aide was Lee Atwater. Rove won.
1973: Trump, 27, meets Roy Cohn, a former aide to Sen. Joe McCarthy who went on to become Trump’s lawyer and mentor.
At the time, the Justice Department was suing the Trumps for not renting to black people, and Trump hired Cohn, a New York attorney “who represented New York power brokers, from the Yankees owner George Steinbrenner to the mob boss Carlo Gambino,” to represent them in the matter.
1977: Stone, 25, wins the presidency of the Young Republicans in a campaign managed by Manafort.
Late 1970s: Tom Barrack meets Manafort in Beirut around this time.
“A roommate at Barrack’s Beirut apartment introduced him to Manafort, who represented a firm doing business with a Saudi construction company. They became close friends,” reported the Washington Post.
1979: Roger Stone meets Roy Cohn and Trump.
