In January 2016 MONTHS BEFORE Manafort had taken any role in Trumps campaign Chalupa told a senior DNC official that, when it came to Trumps campaign, I felt there was a Russia connection, Chalupa recalled.

Strangely, every article about her neglects to mention that Chalupa and her family are not Democrats as suggested. Instead, they are admitted ultra-nationalists bent on sending America to war with Russia by any means possible. And they are vocal about it.
None of the articles connect the fact that the Clinton loss is personal for the Chalupa family. At least 2 of them were going to the White House as advisors and cabinet members.
The many articles about Chalupa or a Russian influence on the election fail to mention the Chalupas admitted to violating federal law a couple of years ago. She was part of the leadership that overthrew a country the US was at peace with. If investigated, with admissions in hand, it could mean 25 years in a federal prison.
