ABC Uncovers Millions of Payments From Russia To Trump, Campaign Panics

ABC Uncovers Millions of Payments From Russia To Trump, Campaign Panics

Apologies if this has been posted before:

ABC News investigative journalist Brian Ross released a news piece that could end any type of credibility Donald Trump may have left. In this newest report, Ross found Trump’s Russian connections to have a bigger role in his life than he’s lead on. This could be a direct conflict of interest for Trump if he should become elected president in November.

In previous interviews, Trump has continuously denied any serious ties with Russian oligarchs. Those statements have already been proven false several times over, seeing how Trump has been very cozy with Vladimir Putin the past few years. Hillary Clinton has released attack ads trying to expose Trump’s Russian ties in the past. Now Brian Ross talks with people who have had actual connections with Trump, proving his denial is a joke.


Just another layer of shit frosting on the turd cake!!!!

For that amount of money you could have bought off every Communist insurgent in Southeast Asia. With the fall of Soviet Communism Russia now has the cash to buy influence and use real Capital to buy off Western Capitalist. It would be funny if it were possible to hear what the Cold War warriors would make of that?

I only heard about it running once on ABC Good Morning America (which I had missed) and it did not run on their evening news the same night and I had hard time finding it on ABC online. Other news stories took over at the time.

Trump - the draft-dodging, tax-dodging Republican hero - is totally in bed giddily groping what Ronald Reagan called The Evil Empire.

Why do today's Republicans hate Ronald Reagan and America?

Why do Republicans love Russia, Pooty Poot, and Comrade Donald 'Casino Groper" Trump?

What the hell is wrong with them?

will lend him a dime. He lives on "other peoples' money." So the only surprising thing here is that ABC and all the rest didn't have this info many months ago. Maybe they did.

Probably like was stated here because the corporate news media hadn't yet collected all the political ad revenues. And now they are still reporting "collapse" while actual supporters are sticking with Trump.

I hope he doesn't add support because of their greedy, ineffectual reporting.

But it's ABC. They reported something about Romney in 2012 that a bunch of other news outlets picked up. It turned out to be false. I would like to see another news organization independently verify this information before I swallow it hook, line, and sinker.
