Yuge: that Trump tower meeting that everyone there has been trying to downplay and make about anything other than the campaign? Manafort's notes on it contain a reference to 'donations', in close proximity to 'RNC'. If that meeting was in any way to discuss Russians channelling donations to the RNC (possibly through something like a Manhattan real-estate money-laundering scheme)...
This also makes so much sense about why the FBI is pressing Manafort so hard; he's vulnerable, and may know a whole lot about what went on during the campaign.
