Trump Lied to America about His Campaign’s Links to Putin
Before he was Donald Trump’s presidential campaign manager,
Paul Manafort was covertly under contract with a Russian oligarch to “greatly
benefit the Putin government”.
Discovery of Manafort’s allegiance to Putin completes the
final link between the Russian government and its American lackey, Donald
Trump. What everyone has known for so
long is now proven: Donald Trump is a
traitor who sold out American democracy in return for Russian cyberwar support
in the 2016 election.
The Associated Press learned of the link to Putin when it
obtained Manafort’s strategy memoranda and records of international wire
transfers for millions of dollars. In
response, Manafort issued a statement that he had worked for the oligarch, Oleg
Deripaska, and an official representative of Deripaska confirmed that Manafort
had an agreement to provide consulting services.
When Manafort pitched his services to Deripaska in 2005, he
wrote: "We are now of the belief
that this model can greatly benefit the Putin Government if employed at the
correct levels with the appropriate commitment to success."
Both Manafort and the Trump administration earlier had issued
public announcements that Manafort never worked for Russian interests, but
Manafort has now admitted that he worked to greatly benefit Putin. Trump and Manafort have lied to America about
their links to Russia and Putin.
Manafort is bound to become a focus of the ongoing FBI probe
and congressional probes into Russian connections with the Trump campaign. The vise is closing in on Trump, who is
either totally incompetent as President, or a blackmailed agent of Vladimir
Putin, or both.
