Hillary Clinton demands to know which Donald Trump advisors beyond Manafort are on Kremlins payroll
By Daily News Bin | August 14, 2016
hillary-clinton-donald-trump
In the hours after the shocking revelation that Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort received millions of dollars in illegal cash bribes from a Ukrainian puppet of Vladimir Putins Russian government, Trumps campaign has gone into full meltdown mode and now Hillary Clinton is going for the kill.
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook released a statement late Sunday night connecting the dots between Manaforts payoffs, Russian hackers targeting Trumps opponents, and Trumps policy proposals that have been bizarrely beneficial to Russia at the expense of the United States. Mook went on to state that Donald Trump has a responsibility to disclose campaign chair Paul Manaforts and all other campaign employees and advisers ties to Russian or pro-Kremlin entities, including whether any of Trumps employees or advisers are currently representing and or being paid by them..........................

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

They are rank amateurs, and it shows, now more than ever.

I don't know if a lot of even his looniest fans can wrap their consciences around this.

The question is mostly rhetorical.

(19,066 posts)Trump was totally unprepared to run for President. No one spent any time vetting candidates to work for him. On what planet did they think this would fly? They haven't a clue.
Wait until the media gets wind that Ivanka Trump was in Croatia spending time with Vladimir Putin's girlfriend this weekend.
Trump is just not a details person and he has no one around him who is one.

(26,582 posts)Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife and Putin's current girlfriend.
Maru Kitteh
(28,340 posts)and she comes off as being so nice and she's friends with Chelsea.
Well, number one, they formed that friendship as youngsters. I still have a few friends from that time in my life I would never pick now; but we have that shared time and shared experience that bonded us long ago, and so the friendship survives the wide diversion of opinion we hold now.
Second, Ivanka is a grown ass woman who has treated her employees with the same crass disregard that her daddy does. She obviously isn't stupid, so it's a rather easy assumption to say that on some level, she understands how grotesque the prospect of her father as President of the United States really is. If she had any integrity, she would at the very least, politely decline to speak much about her father's campaign because of course she loves him but as a businesswoman she tries to stay away from politics, etc etc blah blah blah.
I do NOT feel sorry for little miss Trumps-a-lot.

She is Trump's top advisor? The only on he listens to? Is this an emergency meeting with Putin himself? or just a Russian agent? REALLY?
You can't make this up.
rsdsharp
(9,186 posts)Trumps "top advisors" are Ivanka and the boys, Usy and Goosey. Ivamka is in Croatia and the boys are off hunting when the shit hit the fan about Manafort.
I wonder if they knew something was about to go down, and didn't want to be around to get splattered.

It would make Trump a pawn of the Russians and, in concert with his own public entreaties to the Russians to commit espionage for him, a willing pawn who is collaborating with them.
Note also the mechanism by which this information came to the New York Times: the Ukranian version of the FBI, who is working with our own FBI, dropped this. In other words, Ukranian law enforcement is acting as a cut-out so that the FBI can make this information public, now, before it can become an existential crisis for the United States.

(5,969 posts)Bring attention to the issue, clobber the campaign manager and try to hang that issue around everybody else in the campaign.
We all know the hyper-partisan Daily News Bin from the primaries. But these few paragraphs are brutal. I like these attacks without restraint against these scumbags.

(17,223 posts)The stunning Trump-Manafort-Putin bribery scandal comes the night before Donald Trump was expected to give a major foreign policy speech. Now hell face questions as to whether his foreign policy platform is being bought and paid for by Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile various Trump advisors have begun publicly fighting with each other on Twitter as his campaign unravels by the hour.
