Manafort is a sleaze who was tight with wealthy Russians who were/are cronies of Putin. He was also tight with--and had been paid millions by--pro-Putin Ukrainian politicians. Is is the guy you want running a presidential campaign? If you are a pro-Russian sleaze like Trump, I guess the answer is yes. Manafort had the GOP position on Ukraine changed in the GOP platform in a way beneficial to Russia, just before the election. Manafort was a man compromised by Russian interests--as Trump is, and just as Flynn was.
A president who is compromised by a foreign dictator and enemy of the United States is a dangerous thing--and those cornballs who pretend it is no big deal are just displaying their ignorance and their prejudice. And lets not pretend Trump hasn't been compromised. Dirty Russian money bailed out his property company. That alone is one reason for his bromance with Putin. He publicly slobbered over the Russian dictator for weeks not only prior to the election and after! Disgusting.
Presidents and top American government officials should have one priority--acting in the best interest of the United States. Trump and Kushner both clearly wanted to use their U.S. government positions and power to help further their own personal business interests. That is corruption, at a minimum. I don't know how it will all shake out--but I know Trump is corrupt and anybody who doesn't think his bromance with Putin is suspicious is both naive and biased in the extreme.
"No signs." LOL
Manafort was laundering money for the Russians and getting paid millions to do it. He was also lobbying for them, without registering, and getting millions to do that.
Then he is Bone Spur Donny's campaign manager during the freaking RNC convention, where he maneuvers things to change the RNC platform to a favorable Russian position on the Ukraine.

And yet your girl Hillary still won't be President. How do you morons not comprehend this? You should be on your knees pleading that Trump stays President considering he is the most middle of the road guy available. Imagine what happens when Pence comes in. You might have to create an underground railroad..
The Obama campaign organization, Obama For America, paid nearly a million dollars to the same law firm that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) used to funnel money to Fusion GPS, the firm that produced the Trump dossier, according to a new report.
Obama for America began the payments to Perkins Coie in April 2016 the same time the law firm hired Fusion GPS to look into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, The Federalists Sean Davis reported Sunday.
This revelation could mean that President Obama and other administration officials may have, along with the Clinton campaign and the DNC, helped fund the unverified Trump dossier, which was used by the FBI to get a surveillance warrant on a Trump campaign official and used as a roadmap for the FBIs investigation into any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The timing and nature of the payments to Perkins Coie by Obamas official campaign arm raise significant questions about whether OFA was funding Fusion GPS, how much Obama and his team knew about the contents and provenance of the dossier long before its contents were made public, and whether the president or his government lieutenants knowingly used a partisan political document to justify official government actions targeting the presidents political opponents named in the dossier. According to the Washington Post, Fusion GPS was first retained by Perkins Coie on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clintons presidential campaign in April of 2016.
Federal Election Commission records for Obama For America show that, since April 2016, the organization paid over $972,000 to Perkins Coie.
OFA, paid nearly $800,000 to Perkins Coie in 2016 alone, according to FEC records. The first payments were made April 25-26, 2016, and classified as Legal Services, totaling $98,047.
The second batch of payments, also classified as Legal Services, was disbursed to Perkins Coie on September 29, 2016, totaling $700,000. Payments from OFA to the law firm in 2017 totaled $174,725 through August 22, 2017.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said Sunday on CBSs Face the Nation that members of the Clinton campaign and the DNC should re-testify before the Senate intelligence committee in light of the new revelations.
They absolutely need to be recalled, she said. Its difficult to imagine that a campaign chairman, that the head of the DNC would not know of an expenditure of this magnitude and significance. But perhaps theres something more going on here. But certainly its worth additional questioning of those two witnesses.

I must be missing something about the whole Fusion funding line of reasoning... why should we care who paid for it? Seems to me most Trump fans didn't care where all the anti-Hillary emails came from or who paid for that effort. If we are all interested in transparency, funding sources make no difference if the end results have been verified by "neutral" 3rd parties e.g. CIA and FBI validating portions of the Trump dossier.
All this spin just reaks of sour grapes.
Crazy like a freaking fox and not a tRump Kool- Aide drinker.![]()
The right is just so obsessed with clintons and Obama, hilarious. Everv time a repub screws up or gets caught being up to no good the Clintons get scapegoated, you know,look over there , not here.opcorn: Hint:No Clinton is holding office. :idea:
Because the DNC and possibly the Clinton campaign broke finance disclosure laws in doing so and not reporting it.
I get you are trying to tie the supposed Russian angle in but you failed.
No dingleberry. You twits complain about people using the Presidency to advance themselves in life and when presented with the reality that your libtard Presidents and government officials did so in the past..wet your depends.
Its not an obsession. Its called calling you out on your low iq hypocrisy.
In fact its been democrat presidents over the past 40+ years who didn't have a shekel to their name until they became President and were able to exploit that position after their terms were up to increase their wealth and become the dreaded 1%ers that yall love to hate..
The right has no business calling others hypocrites . Keep chugging that Kool-Aide. And y'all are consumed with your hate and OBSESSION for those people. And tRump isn't using the office to increase HIS wealth ............:lol:
No surprise she ran a sh!tty campaign. Mueller is in the process of tying the details together and he will not fail. The spin doctors on here are very amusing. :lol:
