Much of it will never be entirely untangled. This is about serious and powerful players manipulating important world events well behind the scenes.

I’ve held my tongue about it in sane company because it (very ironically) resembles the sort of elaborate conspiracy stories that far right dot-connectors are always cooking up, but there’s nothing fanciful in this evidence.

Trump may be an infantile buffoon, but we need to know about his dealings with Russian oligarchs, his witting or unwitting complicity in Russian political schemes, and above all how it is that a man like Manafort could continue under the radar in the US as consultant and campaign manager for high level politicians and now a candidate for the highest office in the land.

Laid against this, Republican efforts to make Hillary’s email ‘scandal’ seem sinister, sneaky and terribly dangerous to national security seem laughable.

And where have our own security agencies been – too busy scanning those thousands of emails to notice that men like Manafort night have an agenda beyond the usual campaign chairman’s concerns?

What an election cycle? Have we ever seen the like?

According to delegates writing the Republican Platform at their convention 2 men from the Trump campaign came and told them to change the Republican position on Ukraine from “providing lethal defensive weapons” to “appropriate assistance” to Ukraine.

Who would benefit from this watering down of US support for the Ukraine? Putin and Russia.
According to the delegates this was the only thing that the Trump campaign asked for in the platform.

When Manafort was asked on “Meet The Press” if the Trump campaign had anything to do with the change in language on Ukraine his answer was “absolutely did not” – which contradicted 4 sources from inside the room who witnessed the event.
