(58,785 posts)around Trump and people around Putin? Paul Manafort is just one.
BY THE WAY, when I google "Trump campaign manager" because I forgot his name and wonder about new coverage, all that comes up is "Clinton's campaign manager" stories about Mook's claims that the Russians hacked the DNC records to influence the election.
This is at least heavy attention to Russian meddling in the presidential election, but hopefully it is only the start, that investigative media are busy trying to find evidence of genuine collusion between the Trump circles and Putin's government, and even more important, whether Russia has influenced positions taken by the Republican Party.

(1,132 posts)Trump's frightening isolationist drivel is music to Putin's ears--of course he wants to help Trump win.
Putin probably dreams of this orange-colored dimwit occupying the WH.

@JoyAnnReid You are pushing a discredited conspiracy theory. There is no affinity, whatsoever. Our lawyers will monitor your program.

This isn't getting as much attention, but Russian meddling in the U.S. election IS the biggest bombshell out there.

(25,111 posts)They always talk about transparency but give threats to people who want to investigate. Sounds hypocritical but alas just maybe, finally, some real journalism.
Two party system and the other parties can kiss democracy goodbye, but then again, to some that's not important.

(6,716 posts)It means the crime is being focused on and the MSM can help with the push to get his taxes and have the rest of the electorate focused on whether or not we have a Presidential candidate with strong ties to Putin.
I would say this is a success for the news cycle.

(31,818 posts)It won't get to the red meat Republican voters. I listened to a woman I work with wax poetic about how WONDERFUL Trump's daughter is and how Trump doesn't 'mean it when he says we should build a wall'.
I kept nodding my head and 'hmm hmming' until she got to - Yeah and we SHOULD bring all of our troops home to defend our country.
*smdh*
These people are dumb as fuck - here's to hoping it gets into the Network Nightly News to get the passive Americans who don't dig for info - they wait for it to be given to them.
