Trumpers are doing exactly what Hillary did in the 1990's ... she said it's all just a vast rightwing conspiracy. Just change right to left and you've got the Trumpers today.


Paul Manafort has been working with Republicans his entire lobbying career.

Not his entire career. He has an extensive career working for dictators around the world. Not just for Putin and his Ukrainian puppets.

Wikpedia:
In 1980 Manafort co-founded the Washington, DC-based lobbying firm Black, Manafort & Stone, along with principals Charles R. Black Jr., and Roger J. Stone. [1] [2] [3] In 1984 it was renamed Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly (BMSK) & associates, after Peter G. Kelly was recruited. [4]:124

Manafort often lobbied on behalf of controversial foreign leaders such as Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, dictators Ferdinand Marcos and Mobutu Sese Seko, and guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi. [5] [6] [7] Lobbying to serve the interests of foreign governments requires registration with the Justice Department under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA); however, as of June 2, 2017, Manafort had not registered. [8] [9] [10] On June 27 he retroactively registered as a foreign agent. [11]

Manafort is under investigation by multiple federal agencies. The FBI has had an active criminal investigation on him since 2014 regarding business dealings while he was lobbying for Ukraine. He may also be a subject of an FBI counterintelligence probe looking into possible collusion between the Russian government and associates of Trump.

See, you're wrong about Manafort. He's been flacking for the world's dictators for DECADES. Without registering under FARA. The after the fact (years, no, deades, after the fact) registration is defacto admission he's been working illegally. The guys sleazy just like his partner Roger Stone. I hope justice finds them.



Trump sucking up to Putin? LOL, there have been so many events in this year alone that prove Trump and Putin are not in bed together.

He has been verbally sucking up to him for years and recently is trying to lessen or end sanctions on Russia. Flynn discussed lifting sanctions with Kislyak and lied to the VP about it, that's how Pence got him fired. He's ignoring Russian provocations against our planes and ships. He has his staff thinking up things to offer Putin for their upcoming meeting.



Michael Flynn working for Russian propaganda? Where did you get that?

He was PAID by Russia Today. Among other Russian entities. Duh. Do you only get news from Fox or Breitbart or something? He should have reported Russian payments when his security clearance was renewed in early 2016, but he didn't. He should be in Leavenworth. He was mad at Obama and Clapper so he turned pro-Russian out of spite.
