Also the so called ‘right’ were the first to necklace ‘Russian connection around Trump when he hired Manaford.
Clinton 2016 campaign advisor, former Clinton aide, DNC consultant and “Ukrainian-American operative” Alexandra Chalupa as the leader of the attacks on Manafort.
In January 2016 — MONTHS BEFORE Manafort had taken any role in Trump’s campaign — Chalupa told a senior DNC official that, when it came to Trump’s campaign, “I felt there was a Russia connection. And that, if there was, that we can expect Paul Manafort to be involved in this election.” http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446
Alexandra Chalupa said the embassy (the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington) also worked directly with reporters researching Trump, Manafort and Russia to point them in the right directions. - http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446
Get that? The Ukrainian embassy directed US reporters, pointing them in the “right directions”
“They were coordinating an investigation with the Hillary team on Paul Manafort with Alexandra Chalupa.” http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/report-412000-dnc-insider-ukraine-officials-spread-dirt-on-trump/article/2611650#!
She, with her daughters, led the #TreasonousTrump campaign on Twitter which at point was the #1 trending topic on Twitter worldwide. This campaign supplied nearly 100 pre-canned tweets such as:
@realDonalTrump hired @PaulManafort who worked for Putin puppet president of #Ukraine #Yanukovych. and @realDonaldTrump hired @PaulManafort who tried to help Putin to spy on Russians.
Manafort consulted for Yanukovych’s campaign. So did Ted Devine. Who is Tad Devine? Devine was a top strategist on the Democrat presidential campaigns of Al Gore in 2000, John Kerry in 2004, and Bernie Sanders in 2016. Why doesn’t Clinton campaign advisor and former aide Chalupa target Devine the way she targets Manafort? Obviously it is a partisan smear campaign against Manafort.
