Trump's Campaign Manager Receives $12.7 Million From Pro Russians?

You may have seen The Manchurian Candidate, a movie about a brainwashed POW groomed by the Chinese to become President of the United States. Of course we know nothing like that could ever happen. Some of Trump's critics allege, not that he's brainwashed, but that he seems awfully pro-Russian, pro-Putin. And advocates exactly the foreign policies Putin would want the U.S. to adopt--weakening NATO, denying Russian involvement in the Ukraine, considering ratification of Russia's annexation of Crimea, encouraging Russia to hack emails, etc. And his campaign manager, Paul Manafort, worked for a pro-Russian party and candidate, now in exile. And Trump won't release his tax returns that might disclose his foreign investments. A lot of smoke, but no direct evidence of a fire or smoking gun. And Trump's surrogate, Boris Epshteyn, a Russian-born adviser who has sponsored programs encouraging investment in Russia, who denied on TV that Russia invaded Crimea, says there's nothing to it. So conspiracy nuts should all relax and focus on Hillary's facial twitches.

 

title says "receives"...then your post says "may have received"


then the actual news story says there's no proof any was received...just that a handwritten ledger exists

 

isn't this now his ex-campaign manager, as of a few weeks ago?

 

Even if he would be that oblivious (which I doubt) I don't think all of his advisors are that stupid. Even if he didn't realize them in the first place he probably is thoroughly made aware of all the possibie russian motives.

 

Realizing is also not the exact same as understanding But I feel we are nitpicking now. The point is even if he would be that stupid not to realize the possibility he is used by the russians it would be pointed out to him. Thus he would realize it is so, either directly or indirectly
