According to the AP, Manafort was directly working as a lobbyist on behalf of Vladimir Putin as far back as 2005, which directly contradicts administration assertions that no campaign official had any direct contact with Russia:
President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin a decade ago and proposed an ambitious political strategy to undermine anti-Russian opposition across former Soviet republics, The Associated Press has learned. The work appears to contradict assertions by the Trump administration and Manafort himself that he never worked for Russian interests.
Read the entire article. It’s strong reporting. At some point, all the Trump-Russia connections will prove untenable. We’re gonna be seeing stuff like this every day.
Jason330, I hereby predict that Donald Trump will not be President by the end of 2017. I stake my reputation on it. I mean, what’s left of it.
