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.

MEDIA BIAS JUMP THE SHARK ALERT:
Mannifort did nothing here, apparently/possibly someone in Ukraine potentially wanted to hire him, that’s it.
So the media has judged Mannifort guilty because of some sketchy document that alleged someone wanted to hire him and “set aside” funds for this potential future hire.
I’ve never seen anything so ridiculous in my life - Mannifort is guilty because he is competent and allegedly someone wanted to hire him in the future.
This is beyond silly and nonsensical - it’s a total jump the shark moment of bias and hate from our media.
Nope, never hired or paid, they allegedly wanted to hire him and "set-aside" funds for this interest.
This is beyond biased and dishonest, it's slanderous.
The complaint against Manafort is that his political consulting in the Ukraine between 2004 - 2014 was to the Ukrainian president and later his party that are more closely aligned with Russia and Putin.
The United States wants to more closely align Ukraine with Europe, to keep the former Soviet republics from falling back into the orbit of Russia. (or direct control as is the case in Crimea right now)
I meant Ukraine, not “the” Ukraine, which would get me in trouble if I were a presidential candidate. :-)
Paul’s client was a pro-Russian Ukrainian.
Manafort and his company did do some consulting for the Ukrainian president and his party, was paid a far more modest fees than millions.
The morning "recycled fiction" shows and press.
Shall we talk about Biden’s son being on the Board of the largest Ukrainian Gas Company?
That is not surprising. The media organizations get their orders directly from the Democrat National Committee on that to print and say and what not to print and say.
pot, meet kettle.
“Shall we talk about Bidens son being on the Board of the largest Ukrainian Gas Company?”
I can’t hear you, La, La,La.
“I have it on good authority Mitt Romney paid no taxes” -Harry Reid
All this just in time for more announced democrat party and Soros email hacks. “YOU SEE!!! Trump works for the Russians”
I know I shouldn’t be surprised how in synch the democrats and the press are with each other but I still am.
so this is the old MSM (sarcasm intentional) media trying to protect their cronies?
CNN MSNC FNC (a division of fox entertainment) has ZERO credibility.
scorched earth burn the media with all their crony connections to insiders.
What about Joe’s boys and Hillary’s selling the US to Putin?
I read some discussion about how there is now evidence that the CIA is supporting jihadis in the Philippines to weaken President Rodrigo Duterte, who Western media compares to Trump. But the support is not Abu Sayyaf, just the good jihadis. But of course, the U.S. takes the position that Duterte brought it on himself, after all he called U.S. Ambassador Phil Goldberg "an annoying gay son of a bitch" and called Secretary Kerry "crazy". Our foreign policy has now become one, large, demonic power play.
The thousand years of darkness are coming quickly.
The NYT allegations, and the actions by the Hillary/Democrats reek of desperation. They are in a panic. The MSM can’t prop them up forever, and they know it.
Hillary is going down.
“The New York Times “
Does Clinton have an office at the nyt???
