Hillary Clinton's campaign slammed Donald Trump for "troubling connections" to Russia after The New York Times published a report late Sunday alleging that millions in cash payments were designated for Paul Manafort by Ukrainian leaders during his time as a political consultant there.

I'll side with a Ruskie over a muzzie anyday

[euram]

Didn’t Clinton sell our uranium to Russia, and makes millions off the deal?

[ClearCase_guy]

Let me get this straight —

Manafort was hired by these people
Manafort did some work
Manafort got paid.

OMG! This is 10x worse than Watergate!!!

Anti-corruption officials there say the payments earmarked for Mr. Manafort, previously unreported, are a focus of their investigation, though they have yet to determine if he actually received the cash. (emphasis added)

his lawyer, Richard A. Hibey, said Mr. Manafort had not received “any such cash payments” described by the anti-corruption officials.

Are the Ukraine and Russia allies?

I thought that they had some very serious ongoing disputes. Serious enough to shoot each other. But considering that the average Democrat voter couldn't find either Ukraine or Russia on an unlabeled (or often a labeled) map...

(From the low information voter's perspective, they are the same because they are both populated with "People who look kinda like Trump and have funny accents.")

And not a peep from the NYT about Hillary actually receiving $1,000,000,000 by selling her authority as a cabinet secretary.

[Ray76]

And they wonder why Trump says the press is dishonest.

[major-pelham]

Obama state dept paid campaign people with tax dollars to do political elections in Israel and other places. Elections are an international business so what if Ukrainians paid him? So what?

[weston]

This is front page all-over the morning news. Turned to every channel and there it was followed by a glowing report of Hillary complete with photo in soft blur.

All timed so they won’t have to discuss his actual Foreign Policy Speech. The innuendo of ties to Russia will replace the substance of his ideas. No need to show his actual words. All the sheep need to know is that Trump will be terrible for the world because secretly he is a KGB agent.

The media are lying whores.

[Ray76]

It’s a story from three months ago re-released today for just that reason.

[Agamemnon]

Ukraine is not Russia.

It's been nearly 30 years since the break up of the USSR.

Only leftover Marxist Soviet news-speak types would still conflate the two.

FReegards!

[Blue Turtle]

Looks like Corey Lewandowski tweeted this story for some reason.

[major-pelham]

You beat me to it. Isn’t Ukraine supposed to be a US ally?

[Trump20162020]

Clinton talking about “troubling connections” is a m.f. joke, but she knows no one in the media will ask her questions.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Personally, I think as the campaign unfolds Trump should smear her with each and every disgusting detail of immorality and corruption he can.

Commercials with Bill shaking his finger and lying to the world, followed by pictures of those who died in Benghazi and elsewhere, followed by her inappropriate laughs during federal hearings, followed by her “What difference does it make..” statement, followed by a list of lies (e.g. sniper fire, named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the claim that the FBI ‘cleared’ her of any wrongdoing or incompetence/negligence, cattle futures, Rose law firm billing records, Chelsea was at the World Trade Center, Bill was ministering to youth, etc. etc.), followed by quotes by Anita Broderick and others about Hillary's treatment of them, followed by Billy Dale in tears when found not guilty after having his life nearly ruined by Hillary, followed by Willam Safire’s NYTs article calling her a congenital liar, followed by quotes from Democrat Jerry Zeifman (counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee who supervised Clinton on the Watergate investigation) stating that Hillary was unethical and a liar - already back then, followed by her inappropriate cackling laughter about Gaddafi being killed “We came, we saw, he died”, followed by another reminder about Benghazi occurring in the aftermath of her destabilizing Libya.. This is just for starters. Put it all out there. Target millennials by selected targeting on social media.

He needs to be in her face and criticizing her minute by minute by minute every single day incessantly.

NATO official position:

“All practical civilian and military cooperation under the NRC (NATO-Russia Council) with Russia was suspended in April 2014 in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

At the Wales Summit in September 2014, NATO leaders condemned Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine and demanded that Russia comply with international law and its international obligations and responsibilities; end its illegal and illegitimate occupation ‘annexation’ of Crimea; refrain from aggressive actions against Ukraine; withdraw its troops; halt the flow of weapons, equipment, people and money across the border to the separatists; and stop fomenting tension along and across the Ukrainian border.”

This is rich. Didn’t Clinton use Blumenthal’s desires in Benghazi while he was negotiating business deals in the area? Something similar anyway and many many more connections. Hypocrites. The thing is her dirty deals need to be simplified so the public, not us, can hear and understand. Her deals are convoluted but the connection is clear.
