There was a lot of buzz on Twitter Tuesday about President Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, having spent $15,000 on an ostrich coat. Well, that coat is now a government exhibit, and a men’s clothier took the stand today to testify that Manafort paid for it via international wire transfer.

The verdict is in, and Manafort has been found guilty of buying a really ugly jacket — but if Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian collusion did nothing but bring us these tweets (and it might not), it was all worth it.
Guilty. https://t.co/VV05eBh09J

You know what? If a consultant came into *my* office wearing that banger, I'd hire him on the spot to run my presidential campaign. https://t.co/68fq1s2uVj

A grown ass man bought this jacket. That's the most surprising part of this story. https://t.co/2d46vqsFxz

It's just as if a Members Only jacket made a skin suit so it could go out and murder other jackets. https://t.co/xuDRKucLzA

I would just like to personally salute the salesperson that got Manafort to spend $15K on this hideous thing. That is one well-earned commission check. https://t.co/Xavk1kmzEp

What else is hiding in Manafort’s closet? Well, now everyone knows:
