Alex Wagner JUst Did A Report On Manafort & How He Got Viktor Yanukovych Elected

[Me.]

and went on to tie in his experience with Putin in that election to the 2016 election. What surprided me was...not once did she mention Tad Devine...

“Tad Devine, who worked with Manafort to help elect strongman Viktor Yanukovych president of Ukraine in 2010, revealed Thursday that he is assisting the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“Congratulations on a great campaign,” Devine wrote Manafort in an email after Yanukovych’s February 2010 victory. “You deserve enormous credit for pulling everything together, and for your leadership. It was great to be part of the team.”

“Tad Devine, a Democratic consultant who worked on Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) presidential campaign, testified that Manafort paid his firm $500,000 to work on Viktor Yanukovych’s presidential campaign in Ukraine in 2010, paid in monthly installments of $62,500. Devine also received a $100,000 bonus when Yanukovych won the election. (Special counsel Robert Mueller has alleged “that Manafort earned more than $60 million dollars from his Ukraine work during the period at issue and failed to report a significant percentage of it on his tax returns.”)

3. Trump Aka Putin

you can see how entrenched and wide reaching this whole issue has been

[justhanginon]

4. Yes!!!

[BlueIdaho]

17. I could not agree with you more.

Populism is dangerous from both the left and the right because it’s goal is the destruction of democracies.

[Hortensis]

28. Same here. +1000.

You!

5. I been thinking a lot about that disgusting manafort lately

I hope he is living the shittiest possible life on earth, all his days and all his nights

Seriously

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. TFG's pardon did not undo the asset forfeitures

A significant amount of Manafort's net worth was forfeited. Manafort still owed a Russian oligarch money and so he should be worried

7. Devine & Manafort went on to do their electioneering in other countries right?

Others besides the US, that is. They were a team. I recall reading about the background.
Devine was still collecting on the Yanukovych deal when he began the Sanders campaign .
It began somewhere around 2013 I think.
About the same time Zack Exley formed Brand New Congress & made a trip to Russia, around 2012 . He returned, formed Justice Democrats & joined it all with the Sanders campaign.

Sketchy shit, there. The docs I've read on that whole timeline show a rather orchestrated step by step process. They all emerged ready to go around 2015/16.

Yikes.

Finally someone's putting an emphasis on that Yanukovych business, because Putin hired them to basically clean up his reputation as a drinker & sanitize his bio into a populist dream for all.
They were hired to re-image & sell a shiney new
Yanukovych to the people.

DeVine was in the middle of it with Manafort & I think that crook Kilimnik.

Maybe she'll address DeVine's roll yet.
Then do Exley's shady business.

All roads do lead to Putin, don't they!

[Me.]

14. So It Seems

I was always surprised that the connection between Devine and Manafort was always ignored and to this day do not understand why

[Budi]

15. Shady deals buried & scrubbed clean wasn't he.

It's not like the documentation wasn't availible. They still are.
Mainstream & Social media dropped the ball on American Democracy. We watched it happen in realtime.
There is no argument that Hillary Clinton was running her campaign against Vladimer Putin in 2016, & Joe Biden also, again in 2020.

[Me.]

18. Speaking Of Shady Deals

how about Old Towne Media and where the money from the campaign went and to whom...never been answered

[Budi]

19. Ugh. Old Towne Media. My god when you look back at the events they got away with, not one question

Not once questioned were they, about what was taking place in broad daylight while Media ran the 24/7 circus sideshows on a loop.

22. Well There Were Her Emails To Be Considered First & Foremost

[betsuni]

23. I remember Devine made about $5 million in 2015/16 as chief strategist for the Sanders campaign.

[Me.]

27. Close

Double that and you're nearer the truth,

https://observer.com/2016/08/this-political-consultant-made-millions-off-of-sanders-campaign/

[betsuni]

29. Making "a few elite political consultants millions off of the generosity of everyday Americans

who supported him," meaning "less money for progressive grassroots organizers and activists on the ground."

Sounds awfully status quo wealthy elite 1% establishment.

[Me.]

30. Just So

THey make a fortune off all those $5 & $10

[Johnny2X2X]

9. I forgot about Manafort and Ukraine

Jesus, Trump was elbow deep in Putin trying to retake Ukraine from the start.

[BlueIdaho]

16. Thank You!

Let us not forget the international crimes of the Republican Party.

[lapucelle]

31. It's remarkable that Tad Devine's role in "electing" Yanukovych has been disappeared

That's how serious reporting morphs into standard narratives and story lines.

Wagner should be ashamed. Viewers deserve the whole truth.

[Me.]

32. To The Extent That Devine

testified to Mueller about Manafort. It blow my mind.
