Republican nominee Donald Trump has been treading treasonous territory for months now, raising eyebrows around the nation for a foreign policy that openly supports the ambitions of Vladimir Putin, the dictator of the Russian Federation. He’s surrounded himself with men with close ties to the Kremlin and the oligarchs that pull the strings behind the scenes; he’s being openly supported by Russian state-controlled media and by Russian intelligence services, who have breached the electronic servers of Democratic Party operatives and released selected pieces of information in an attempt to sow discord.

Throughout all of this, Trump has insisted that he has no business ties to Russia. “For the record, I have ZERO investments in Russia” he tweeted in July. Now – brace yourself, this might come as a shock – it appears he’s been lying to us the whole time.

An ABC News investigation has found that Donald Trump has “numerous ties” to Russian interests both here in the United States and in Russia. “The level of business amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars — what he received as a result of interaction with Russian businessmen. They were happy to invest with him, and they were happy to work with Donald Trump. And they were happy to associate—[and] be associated with Donald Trump” says Sergei Millian, who heads a U.S.-Russia business group.

Trump has reaped huge profits off his business deals with Russian oligarchs that stretch from hosting the 2013 Miss Universe contest in Moscow and selling Trump-branded real estate to “large numbers” of Russian buyers – so many that the Sunny and Hollywood Islands in Florida became known as “Little Moscow.”

1. When will the come out?

[misterhighwasted]

2. And Ted Cruz just publicly endorsed Trump..

Haaahaa!!

I hope this Russian connection blows wide open, & every dirty snake that has done business through his foundation donations to the bribes and his money laundering, to his Russian pay to play in our US Presidential Election all go down in a flaming bonfire.

I will bet by the time its all said and done the Trump intricate trail of National & International crime will be the biggest ever in history.
There are many many players that will be outed in the end.

This is not going away.

[Judi Lynn]

7. Wonderful! Way to go, Ted. Could you shame yourself any worse? n/t

[Fast Walker 52]

8. seriously-- Cruz?

[Sophiegirl]

9. Ted is protecting his own political future

After the RNC chair threatened to withhold future support to anyone not publicly supporting Trump.

Nice group they have there.

[Volaris]

15. Reince Prebuis and the Ratfuckers. That's 'murcaz GOP. Ain't we all so proud?

Lol@TedCruz tho.

[rivegauche]

10. Cruz is almost as despicable as Dump. Like an ass hair's difference. nt

[Martin Eden]

17. Ted Cruz is a loathesome creature

And a coward as well. Hopefully the feces blow back in his face, along with all the other Rethugs too craven to put Country above Party.

[PatSeg]

25. Nice timing Cruz

Your previous refusal to endorse Trump was the only decent thing you are known for.

[Plucketeer]

3. The ULTIMATE prize

would be to see Mr. Ego and family behind bars - for years and years. The fringe bene would be the utter trashing of the GOP.

[Fast Walker 52]

6. exactly-- my fondest wish right now

[Duppers]

4. Wow...but not surprising.

This narcissistic psychopathic liar's supporters will not care and not believe this even it were plaster on headlines everywhere. They do not read.

Will the mainstream broadcast media pick up on this? Doubtful.


Thanks for the thread.

[Fritz Walter]

36. Indeed

Drumpf's sycophants will interpret this news as an indication of Tiny-Hand's business acumen with the Russians. Profits Über Alles! (Although they could not spell - let alone define -- words like sycophants and acumen).

All that matters to them are:
1. White-hot hatred of Hillary Clinton;
2. The perceived decline of the Caucasian demographic in the power-base of our country, (while totally ignoring the composition of corporate policy-makers, including and especially Wells Fargo and other Wall Street banks); and
3. Whatever the fuck Drumpf and his politburo minions spew in the open sewer that once was the Fourth Estate (Main Stream Media).

[Fast Walker 52]

5. well, not surprising... let's hope this gets serious play in the debates

My gut feeling when this is all over, Trump is going to regret he ran for president and got so much exposure of his crookedness. Maybe he will even end up in jail. For sure, his brand should be tarnished forever.

[jtuck004]

11. I remember when the Trojans used horses...

We need more transparency.

[Wednesdays]

12. Published just in the nick of time

for the Friday afternoon news dump.

[SCantiGOP]

13. can't find this on ABC website

Anybody have a link? None of the Trumpers I am sparring with will pay attention to it if I send it out from Occupydemocrats.

16. If trChump isn't elected President,

and the Russians can't get a return on their investment, then something "mysterious" will happen to him or a family member.

Odds?

[meow2u3]

29. Odds of something "mysterious" happening to Chump if he loses

About 100%. And no, I won't be mourning his loss!

[bearssoapbox]

32. n/t

[tanyev]

18. See, Donald, the issue was never how much you had invested in Russia.

The big question was how much they had invested in you.

[japple]

23. Yes, that's the ticket. I think he is in hock up to his lying eyes

to the big money people in Russia.

[randome]

19. Unless there are signed contracts or something, this isn't anything to get excited about, imo.

It's mostly based on someone else's word. Then the article goes into how rich Putin is, as if that has anything to do with anything.

Sorry, I don't think is the killing blow we've been waiting for.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

33. Seriously? Contracts? At that level?

If that is the proof you need, I will never convince you that gravity actually works on the entire flat earth equally.

Be realistic. There is an snowflake's chance in an oxy-lance, electrode powered, steel reprocessing furnace of them ever putting anything in writing, much less an email, or an unsecured phone call.

Deniability is their life's blood. Except in Teh Donald's case, he takes it a step further and attacks anyone he perceives as a potential rival or enemy. His unerring aim at the jugular is what attracts the Make The Great Unwashed Again gaggle.

20. Hillary's campaign has to run with this

Between this news and the evidence that the Russians are obviously attempting to influence the election, it's clear they want to set up Dump as the puppet dictator of their own Banana Republic...the United States.

This is bad (well, good for us).

[Divine Discontent]

27. For posting 3 times a year, you sure know when to get involved! I agree wholeheartedly.

I was going to say welcome to DU because of the post count, then said, oh wait, go check join date, lol.

[July]

21. Imagine if Hillary Clinton had ties to Russian oligarchs.

Then imagine she praised the Russian dictator.

[Divine Discontent]

26. she'd be in the upper 30's and he'd be in the lower 50's on his way to a landslide!

It's sickening these Little Brains who are backing him have to be told do you realize he loves dictators, and he has received hundreds of millions of dollars in cash from very questionable sources out of Russia, and the Russians are trying to screw with our election??? I don't believe in poll tests, but damn... it's so tempting to want to... lol

[turbinetree]

22. Hey Cruzless for brains..................................

how does it feel to have green eggs ham on your face

[redstateblues]

24. K&R

[Cary]

28. It is Hillary Clinton's job to hammer this stuff home

She has the best and the brightest. That doesn't guarantee anything but I would not bet against them.

[vlyons]

30. Cruz endorsed Trump for 2 reasons

1. That weasel Priebus threatened to pull the plug on anyone not endorsing the party's candidate. So Cruz is getting his ducks in a row for GOP support for his next Prez run in 2020.

2. Trump named Mike Lee as a potential SCOTUS nominee. Lee and Cruz are BFFs and both dominionist fundie Christians. Lee would be a sure bet to try and outlaw gay marriage, abortion, make Christianity a state religion, ban contraceptives, tax breaks for home schooling, teach creationism, etc etc.

All smells to high heaven! (pardon the pun)

[niyad]

31. der drumpfenfuhrer LIED????? never say this is so!!!! or, tell us something we DIDN'T know.

is that oddly-placed sphincter that is his mouth moving??? then he is lying.

[Old Vet]

34. Ive said this in a few posts before, Hes like Teflon Don..........

Nothing seems to stick to this asshole, His supporters will be behind him no matter what. Although this rape incident could be one of the most under-reported situations for Trump.
