Huckabee Sanders: The only proven collusion is between the DNC and Ukrainian government

MSNBC's playing the audio from her "off camera press conference" now.

Trump didn't do it because he said he didn't do it and he knows what he did.

Don Jr. went on Hannity last night and he didn't do it either.

The DNC did it.

Bill Clinton gave a speech to a Russian bank for a half million.

If we're looking for anyone for direct relationships with the Russians it would be the Clintons.

trying to place the US under a one-party rule. I'm scared about the future of the US, so many citizens are so bred to think the US just continues on, no matter what. The GOP is exploiting the naivety of America, and it's becoming evident they have Russia aiding. I think if a reporter tried to iphone the briefing they would be quickly ejected. There is a lot of evil shit going on. Many wonder why congress doesn't do something, held by the GOP. Well much/most? of the GOP is the same as Trump!!!

But trying to draw a parallel between everything that we already know about Trump, his campaign and Russia, and the fact that a consultant who worked with the DNC spoke to some Ukrainian government officials about Paul Manafort, is absurd. And insulting.

One was above board, the other multiple secretive contacts were notoriously unreported at congressional hearings and on security clearance documents. There also have been multiple on-the-record denials by Trump campaign staff that have since been amended or retracted as evidence has been uncovered determining such statements to be not just inaccurate and misleading but downright false.

That my dear Sarah, is the problem.

Former Prime Minister of Ukraine with ties to Russia and Putin, who nearly set off a civil war, is wanted by Interpol, and thought to be hiding in Russia. One of his advisors was Paul Manafort who became Trump's campaign manager. Check out Yanukovysch'a former mansion and estate on TripAdvisor. Amazing what can be done on a civil servant's salary.

Why highlight an episode from the Clinton campaign that so closely touches upon a Giant Red Flag for Trump (no pun intended)? Well I don't know. Maybe it's an attempt to dilute by mentioning Urkraine in other contexts.
