Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s top adviser, and his ties to pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine


Paul Manafort, the adviser hired by Donald Trump to add stability and institutional know-how to Trump’s often scattershot presidential campaign, has long and deep reported ties to pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine.

PolitiFact, as part of an exchange of journalists sponsored by the U.S. State Department, is hosting two foreign political journalists, including a reporter from Ukraine. We asked that reporter to analyze Manafort’s connections to Ukraine and its political leadership. What follows is her report.

"We joke in Ukraine that it is a bad sign for Trump that he hired Manafort. Because his client Yanukovych was ousted and fled to Russia, to the city of Rostov. So Trump could also end up in Rostov. It is almost like an anecdote." -- Ukrainian political expert Oleg Kravchenko

Manafort’s entry into Ukrainian politics

Ukrainian political experts say Manafort, 67, was first hired to work in Ukraine more than a decade ago by the country’s wealthiest businessman, Rinat Akhmetov. Akhmetov, a steel and iron ore magnate, is worth an estimated $2.8 billion, according to Forbes.

1. Good.

Reason 1,987,888,001 he's not fit to be President: he doesn't ever think through the legal consequences of anything he's done.

He never second guesses himself. Hmmm, guess that doesn't include his failed marriages. No second guessing, my ass.

12. LIAR: Trump Now Says He Never Met Putin After Bragging About Chats With Him

Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has never actually met Russian President Vladimir Putin despite bragging multiple times recently about conversations he has had with him.

"He said one nice thing about me. He said I'm a genius. I said thank you very much to the newspaper and that was the end of it. I never met Putin," Trump said.

Trump, who has complimented Putin before, said that he would treat the dictator "firmly" but have their two countries be "friendly."

On the GOP debate stage in November, though, Trump bragged about meeting the Russian leader.

10. Suddenly I think I understand

why all his wives come from the former Soviet bloc... they are his watchers. They watch him and report back to his debtors/Slavic mobsters about what he does and says. Now that the scat's out of the bag, so to speak, he's hardly able to breathe while lying to save his ass and in order to gain the seat of power to sell us all into Russian rule. Those wives are probably spies.

11. Am I alone in thinking that Manafort is his "handler" and a Russian operative?

Keeping a close eye on him for his Russian mob owners and Putin.

13. Manafort was waaaay Hung Over this AM.....

Blood red eyes & barely coherent. And of course when he started to fail the question asked-They backed off to another subject.

Gotta love the US media-

No it will be Mandatory comarade!
