We knew that he had an association with the Ukrainian pro-Russian leaders that led to his resignation....but there is now apparently a clear line that runs from Putin to the Trump campaign that explains Trump's pro-Putin sentiments, the interference with the GOP platform on the seizure of Crimea and likely the Wikileaks hacking of Hillary's campaign emails at the open behest of Trump.
Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort once offered to help Vladimir Putin advance Moscow’s interests as part of a multimillion-dollar contract agreed with a Russian billionaire with close ties to the Kremlin, it has been reported.
According to a report by the Associated Press released on Wednesday, Manafort proposed a confidential strategy in 2005 whereby he would influence US politics, business dealings and news coverage inside the US, Europe and the former Soviet republics, in a way that would benefit the Putin government.
While the contract apparently ended...there is no question that Manafort must have seen the potential to cash in YUGE if Trump became president. There is no way, given his own words, that Trump was not aware of the machinations of his campaign chair and that he didn't understand the quid pro quo.
