Clinton Campaign Manager Suggests Trump Is a 'Puppet' for the Kremlin

Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager cautioned against reading too much into the departure of Donald Trump’s campaign chair Paul Manafort, suggesting today that Russia is still at the “core” of the Republican nominee’s campaign and that Trump himself could be a “puppet” for the Kremlin.

“Paul Manafort has been pushed out, but that doesn’t 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. "It’s 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.

OUTRAGEOUS!

He says nothing to substantiate his claim and is given a pass.

Why? Did Trump sell Uranium to the Russians?

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

One thing about Hillary.  She's nobody's puppet.  She screws the naion of her own accord.

That dog won’t hunt. Cold-Warriors know better, and Millenials simply don’t care.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

That is the VERY DEFINITION of desperation.

[Windflier]

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.

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is what you get when you have a bunch of braindead, freeloading snowflakes on your campaign staff.

[Romulus]

Leftist democrats hyperventilating about Russians hiding under the bed. Not your grandfather’s presidential election.

[Frank_2001]

FACT: The Democratic Party IS a COMMUNIST PARTY, and is actively engaged in transforming the USA into an English-speaking version of the USSR. Two can play this game, MF’er!!!
