After reading the article, I'm left with an impression that Assange may have made a deal with Manafort to release the emails which torpedoed the Democrats. Am I being manipulated?

At risk of coming across as jumping the gun, I think this is a really big deal. There have been so many scandals along the way that it is easy to go numb, but this is different. This story hasn't been corroborated by any other major papers yet, but assuming The Guardian didn't totally blow it here, this is the smoking gun. A representative of Trump's campaign conspired with an organization his own CIA director described as a hostile intelligence agency in effort to throw the election.
Based on public reporting so far, it seemed probable that Roger Stone was making arrangements with Wikileaks, but the fact that Manafort was not only involved, but made the trip in person, places this mess much closer to Trump. That is in addition to the Stone/Corsi drama which is breaking out simultaneously.
It's a huge deal. I think A LOT is going to come out during Manafort's sentencing and by the end of it people who've been on the side of the Trump admin all along are going to be begging Mueller...

We'll see how this turns out.
I'm curious to learn more about this. Any shining examples?

This is going to be a turbulent week. :)
