Hillary Clintons campaign manager cautioned against reading too much into the departure of Donald Trumps campaign chair Paul Manafort, suggesting today that Russia is still at the core of the Republican nominees campaign and that Trump himself could be a puppet for the Kremlin.
Paul Manafort has been pushed out, but that doesnt mean that the Russians have been pushed out of this campaign, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on "This Week."
Manafort resigned this week following reports questioning his work as a lobbyist for pro-Russian Ukrainian oligarchs.
The hand of the Kremlin has been at work in this campaign for some time," Mook added. "Its clear that they are supporting Donald Trump. But we now need Donald Trump to explain to us the extent to which the Kremlin is at the core of his own campaign.
Mook explained that there are a web of financial interests that Trump has not disclosed, which has led to real questions being raised about whether Donald Trump himself is just a puppet for the Kremlin in this race.
When pushed by Stephanopoulos, Mook doubled down and called on Trump to disclose any ties he may have to Moscow.

There’s no proof Gucifer 2.0 is Russian. At least Russia defends its Christians.

The Dems have turned the ‘Russia’ meme into a broken record. They’re all spouting it, every chance they get.
I guess they have to, seeing as they’ve got nothing else except really juvenile criticisms.
