It is clear to me Putin is helping Trump

[DemocratSinceBirth]

If it can be proven Trump and his consigliere, Paul Manafort , are aware of it and actually colluding that's treason.

1. I actually doubt any collusion-they don't need to. Thugs think alike so they are on the same page

2. K&R!

3. This country needs to WTF up

Trump's whole business is now built on fucking russian money.

His kid has been over there countless times now.

His campaign manager last worked in the fucking ukraine.

Imagine if a democrat looked like that?

Putin sees the rare opportunity for the leading world power to shoot itself in the head and is doing everything he can to load the gun and put it to our temple.

4. Imagine if the Cold War still existed and a Democratic presidential candidate was playing footsie...

Imagine if the Cold War still existed and a Democratic presidential candidate was playing footsie with Brezhnev.

5. Oh, I have no doubt there's collusion between DumbTrump/Manafort and the Kremlin. DumbTrump is not

keeping it a secret that he admires Putin, and the what few foreign policies he's suggested so far, are exactly what Putin seeks because it would benefit him. DumbTrump is a businessman and all he cares about is money, money, money, and Putin has plenty of it - with a net worth purportedly to be over $200 billion. DumbTrump is, to me, a traitor to our country and to our people.

6. The only thing that makes me think that may not be true

is that Russia started this a year ago before trump was even close to nomination and manafort was not on the scene. Now whether they would have released them if Cruz was nominee is another question.

7. Manafort's prior employment and involvement in this needs to be investigated.

He is the link, I believe.
