WASHINGTON, D.C. --
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.

Ruh Roh - Paul Manafort lied through his teeth when he said he never dealt with the Russians.

Another dot has been connected.

Hmm. Would taking $10 million to advance Putin's "interests" indicate collusion? I'm pretty sure it does.

I doubt if this, by itself, has to do with Trump's campaign. After all, we are talking 2005 here. The point I was making was that Manafort lied. Many of the people on Trump's team were up to their eyeballs in Russians, and lied about it. And where there is smoke, there is fire.
 
Trump will rue the day he hired Manafort.

They fired him........ worked for 3 months......

Everyone is connected.... Look at Kevin Bacon.......

We talked about this this morning. At that time, the story was that the work hadn't been for the Russians but for a super rich individual i.e. his company. That didn't mean there could be an additional connection, however.
Have you seen any new evidence?

Manafort got fired because of the Ukrainian corruption thing coming down on him right? Still a boneheaded move. And any time Trump speaks about Manafort in public, he distances himself from him.
