While we don't know what Manafort's intentions were, it's worth asking why Dubai, why now? Dubai has become a gathering spot for Russian oligarchs and their yachts since the invasion of Ukraine. Perhaps Manafort planned a reunion with an old client, Yanukovych, who some say would be Putin's first choice for a puppet president in Ukraine.
The charges against Manafort were all sensationalized by the Mueller Russian collusion "witch hunt," which tried to pressure Manafort to "flip" on Trump. It was all smoke, no fire.
