If you were a very crooked individual concealing many already committed crimes that could put you in jail for years, wouldn’t you avoid joining a presidential campaign at all costs? What was the thought process for these people?

They thought they'd lose and rake in money but they succeeded and face prison time. "The Producers"

It’s weird, though. I thought Hillary would win, but I would’ve said Trump had at least a 25-30% chance of winning. Thise are not great odds when the cost of being wrong is prison.

Well, there's also the fact that these are guys (Manafort & Trump) who have been lucky all their lives & never had to pay before for their transgressions. So they tend to think luck will always be on their side.

Trump I’m not surprised by - he never thinks about what could go wrong. But Manafort - I think he just was desperate for money and influence (which he thought would bring him more money).

But why was he desperate for money?

Because he spent money at a ridiculous pace, and wasn’t actually making that much by 2017.

The Trump organization is like a shark. It has to eat at all times or it dies.
