Hillary Clinton's campaign and its allies have hurled allegations that Team Trump is tangled up with the Kremlin -- but remain largely silent about the Russian links of Clinton's own campaign chairman, John Podesta, and the company he co-founded.

Robby Mook, Clinton's campaign manager, recently told ABC News that the "hand of the Kremlin" is at work in the Donald Trump campaign.

This was after his campaign chairman Paul Manafort stepped down amid reports he received payments from Ukraine’s pro-Kremlin political party.

“The evidence of a direct connection between the Russian government and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign continues to mount,” he wrote.
