TRUMPSKI IS OUR BOYSKI​




On a leafy side street off Independence Square in Kiev is an office used for years by Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, when he consulted for Ukraine’s ruling political party. His furniture and personal items were still there as recently as May.

Manafort’s presence remains elsewhere here in the capital, where government investigators examining secret records have found his name, as well as companies he sought business with, as they try to untangle a corrupt network they say was used to loot Ukrainian assets and influence elections during the administration of Manafort’s main client, Viktor Yanukovych.

Handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Manafort from Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012, according to Ukraine’s newly formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Investigators assert that the disbursements were part of an illegal off-the-books system whose recipients also included election officials.

In addition, criminal prosecutors are investigating a group of offshore shell companies that helped members of Yanukovych’s inner circle finance their lavish lifestyles, including a palatial presidential residence with a private zoo, golf course and tennis court.

Among the hundreds of murky transactions these companies engaged in was an $18 million deal to sell Ukrainian cable television assets to a partnership put together by Manafort and a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin.

While working in Ukraine, Manafort had also positioned himself to profit from business deals that benefited from connections he had gained through his political consulting. One of them, according to court filings, involved a network of offshore companies that government investigators and independent journalists in Ukraine have said was used to launder public money and assets purportedly stolen by cronies of the government.

Who do you think hacked the DNC for him?

There have been at least three instances between 2013 and 2015 when Trump said that he has either met or spoken directly or indirectly with Putin.

But now he says that they've never met or spoken.

During an interview with ABC, Trump said, "I have no relationship with him," but went on to say later, "Well, I don't know what it means by having a relationship."

"I didn't meet him. I haven't spent time with him. I didn't have dinner with him. I didn't go hiking with him. I don't know -- and I wouldn't know him from Adam except I see his picture and I would know what he looks like," Trump told George Stephanopoulos in an interview for "This Week."

That comes in clear contrast to what Trump said in 2014 to the National Press Club, when he said, "I was in Moscow recently and I spoke, indirectly and directly, with President Putin, who could not have been nicer."

Loyal little lapdoggies yip "nyet".


Questions about Russian interference are not only being raised in terms of the Trump campaign, but security experts pointed the finger at Russian hackers when it came time to look for the culprits behind the Democratic National Committee email hack.

The DNC hack and the contents of some of the emails largely led to the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz as chairwoman.

Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta said that the suggested ties between Russia and the hack are "very worrisome."

"Whether they’re actively trying to interfere in the U.S. election, that’s something that I guess we’ll need to see," he said.

Trump speculated in a speech after the hack that "Russia or one of our many, many friends hacked the hell out of us."

Latest Manchurian Candidate http://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?71555-Latest-Manchurian-Candidate

The story comes a little more than a day after the Times published a story examining the internal struggles facing Trump’s campaign, a story that also elicited strong responses from the Republican nominee and his campaign.

It’s unclear if Manafort actually received payments, but prosecutors told the Times that Manafort “must have realized the implications of his financial dealings.”

But Manafort strongly denied that he ever received off-the-books payments or has done work with the governments of Ukraine or Russia.

“My work in Ukraine ceased following the country’s parliamentary elections in October 2014,” Manafort says. “In addition, as the article points out hesitantly, every government official interviewed states I have done nothing wrong.”

The Times story was retweeted by Corey Lewandowski, the former Trump campaign manager and Manafort rival who was fired in June.
