The main article is about Trump's claims today that Russia would never invade Ukraine. However, the video is about Trump's connections to Russia.

1. Why isn't the FBI doing this?

2. They probably are. But I doubt they would announce it. nt

3. They are

They said last week that they are looking at claims that Putin is interfering in the U.S. election and that they are trying to help Trump get elected.

10. Awesome.

Hope they bag someone's ass on this one.

4. I hope they're also investigating Manafort's connections

Manafort downright lied this morning on Meet the Press when he said that the Trump campaign had nothing to do with changing the Republican platform regarding Russia/Crimea/Ukraine (and the lie was identified by David Frum, a Republican).

5. That was a large part of the video

9. My bad...

I read the article but didn't watch the video. Sorry! I think this is of major importance. I hope the truth breaks a few days before the general election.

6. Probably more going on there than Trump will ever admit.

7. I think there is less going on with Trump than he will admit

Complexity and abstract concepts don't seem to jive well with Trump. He's a simpleton and would be a nobody if daddy hadn't left him all of his money.

8. This whole thing is fishy, need to eager young reporters to dig deep and find the whole story

Saw on CNN this afternoon, that according to a RNC delegate, who was on the platform committee, that Trump's staff are who got the thing about Ukraine removed. Said the Trump staff outmaneuvered the delegates who wanted it as part of the platform and got enough votes to have it removed.

Then this morning this morning on TV. Manafort denied that the Trump's group had anything to do with it. There is something very rotten going on here. Maybe big money, maybe big deals or maybe big blackmail - maybe all three. whatever it is, Trump can not be trusted to be the President. Telling lies about changing the platform should be setting off fire alarms.

11. I never want to see the words "Trump" and "probes" in the same sentence ever again.

But I AM glad this story is still alive.
