AP Exclusive: Manafort had plan to benefit Putin government

President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin a decade ago and proposed an ambitious political strategy to undermine anti-Russian opposition across former Soviet republics, The Associated Press has learned. The work appears to contradict assertions by the Trump administration and Manafort himself that he never worked for Russian interests.

President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin a decade ago and proposed an ambitious political strategy to undermine anti-Russian opposition across former Soviet republics, The Associated Press has learned. The work appears to contradict assertions by the Trump administration and Manafort himself that he never worked for Russian interests.

Manafort proposed in a confidential strategy plan as early as June 2005 that he would influence politics, business dealings and news coverage inside the United States, Europe and the former Soviet republics to benefit the Putin government, even as U.S.-Russia relations under Republican President George W. Bush grew worse. Manafort pitched the plans to Russian aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska, a close Putin ally with whom Manafort eventually signed a $10 million annual contract beginning in 2006, according to interviews with several people familiar with payments to Manafort and business records obtained by the AP. Manafort and Deripaska maintained a business relationship until at least 2009, according to one person familiar with the work.

Groan.

This is actually old news.

Link if you want article from July 2016
nytimes.com/2016/08/01/us/paul-manafort-ukraine-donald-trump.html?_r=0

It isn't illegal to do business in Russia 12 years ago.

Where's the Tony Podesta questions? He worked for Russia in the last 2 years.

This is another not smoking gun, but because someone who once worked for Trump, worked for a Russian Tycoon who knows Putin, it must be part of the grand conspiracy.

Getting tired of my countrymen being so willingly dumb.

Chart 4

politico.com/magazine/story/2017/03/connections-trump-putin-russia-ties-chart-flynn-page-manafort-sessions-214868

That makes it worse, people voted for Trump regardless of Trump ties to Russia
The medias focused way too much on Trump's behavior and so little about his links to non friendly foreign entities

What does AP have to lose by posting the actual documents in scanned form?

Manafort is totally gonna get fired now for sure

muh Russia

>GRU

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I FUCKING HATE THIS

THESE FAGGOTS DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TFE FUCK THEYRE TALKING ABOUT
I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!

GRU IS NOT DOING THAT STUFF, FFS!

ITS SVR!!! SVR!! YOU INBREED LEFTYSHITHEAD SEX HOMO FAGGOTS!

Long term grooming just like the Steele dossier said

Meanwhile there was actual direct money contributions from foreign govts to Clinton campaign...

...evidence in emails where Clintonites talk about "pay for play"...

...Uranium deal...

...Campaign chair working for Russian bank...

...Campaign chair's brother employed by Russian firm to try and get U.S. to reduce Russian sanctions...

...But none of that is as newsworthy as "OMG someone who Trump fired did work in Russia 12 years ago!"

GTFOOH

>according to interviews with several people familiar with payments to Manafort and business records obtained by the AP

Top tier source here. Several interviews with people familiar with payments.


>The medias focused way too much on Trump's behavior and so little about his links to non friendly foreign entities
And that's how we can tell you are a shill. Media can't stop talking about muh Russia ties, even Comey said that their "classified info" leaked to media is often false. Literally fake news.

12 years. Is that how long it takes imaginary piss stains from imaginary Russian hookers to be cleaned from imaginary bedsheets?

THAT GUY COULD REALLY MOVE

The piss tape is way more recent

Fuck off shill

So for liberal shills is enough to confirm one bullshit story with another? Remind us what Comey said at hearings, shill.

under Putin's Russia, GRU and SVR are the FSB's bitches
Army secret services still own the most powerful Digital Intelligence tools
SVR usually operates only on Russian's soil, they are the political secret services
BUT all services have their own foreign ops
If Politico talks about GRU that's certainly because they have official intel about that, counter spy services are pretty good at recognising who's doing what

Hate to tell you bub, but working with a foreign government like this is treason.

kremlin bots on damage control
top kek
none of Trump's entourage ties with the Russosphere are fake, most of them admitted those ties, what they lied about is how strong they were

Are you fucking retarded?
FSB - domestic spying and counter-espionage
GRU - military intelligence, like spying sats, spying on foreign military development n shit
SVR - political intelligence, spying on foreign ambassadors, sending spies in foreign countries, "illegal" spying

The dossier is being proven more and more accurate as time goes by, remember when all you faggots seriously thought Sup Forums made it up?

based Putinshill. We'll get through this, senpai.

Mass threads sliding ATM, we are in the good way

>Oy Vey!!! We got nothing so lets up stories from 2005!!!!

>Russosphere
Oh, so its not government, but Russosphere. What a play on words. Guess what they admitted did not imply any crime or lies from their side, but you are desperate to make it seem they are guilty.

>kremlin bots on damage control
You think if you shit on Russia 24/7 we will just shrug it off? Literally everyone who cares about politics here hates you beyond words now, and if something is to break in US or Europe its not your side that we will provide help and supply. Continue to believe in kremlin bots, you are in for a big surprise for the second time, because you cretins never learn.

the NSA/CIA doesn't spy on American citizens
the FBI only operates on US soil
come on...!
stop being a child

...that he's under investigation, and that's why he can't comment on most of this..?

>The dossier is being proven more and more accurate as time goes by
independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-russia-dossier-a7574536.html
>It said the elements that had been confirmed were several conversations in the dossier involving foreign nationals. None of the conversations involved Mr Trump or members of his team.
Look, if you mix some unrelated truth it makes all bullshit true as well! Liberal mentality.

Now remind us what Comey said about his investigation couple days ago.

in that kind of investigation a lot of name are mentionned and many side affairs can be discovered
that's why the Feds remain silent and only give partial infos

That's why it's being investigated, to see what is proven and disproven.

Tell me what has been disproven from the dossier?

It's an ongoing investigation and Comey won't comment

Literally retarded shill, stop embarassing yourself.

Right, because if they DID, agents would get killed

>Tell me what has been disproven from the dossier?
Tell me what has been disproven from Pizzagate.
Meanwhile 1500 traffickers arrested in 1 month, but FBI found nothing about Trump ties since July.

A single victim, a body, a family member is nowhere to be found from pizzagate. More than 1000 of those arrests were from routine prostitution stings that take months to plan

How many arrests happened in previous couple years?

Trump kids had business ties to Russia, they admitted it
Those business contacts were established while Trump's kids were working for him
Trump always had a strong control over his business, it's hard to believe he, at least, didn't know about those ties
Mob bosses always operate via proxies so they'll never be caught, the feds knows that, that's their job

A few hundred every major public/sporting event since that's when pimps make the prostitutes travel to the event for work.
The biggest annual one is the Superbowl in February, brings in the most prostitutes no matter where it is.

Rumors about Elite Pedorings have always served the real pedophiles

donald trump could have ties to a human-eating ancient alien civilization and i wouldn't care as long as he builds that fucking wall

You can tell exact numbers if you try, come on.
>if you kill your enemies they win
>kids did business
Is that all you have?

Donald Trump could walk on water like Jesus and shills will say he can't swim.

Timeline: What we know about the Trump campaign, his administration and Russia

>a decade ago

sage & hide this shit

doesn't work the way you think

Hmmm. really makes me think. I guess all that stuff that Hillary did in the 70s, 80s and 90s that Trumpfags constantly brought up is also of no importance either?

You have a campaign manager that is DIRECTLY LINKED to the Kremlin, and you use mental gymnastics to excuse it. Unbelievable.

If this was ANYONE ELSE, you would be ranting and raving about it, but because it's someone linked to Trump, you have to use your gold-medal mental gymnastics to defend it.

I don't think you guys can sink any lower.

If you read, you'll see that the document talks about a deal that's much wider that just NA politics but also about media, europe and ex-soviet contries.

>Putin takes over shittier economy from Yeltsin
>needs to Make Tussia Great Again
>4 generations under communist rule leaves no one in the country adept at capitalism

>Putin proceeds to MRGA using what he's got
>Murica is acting like shitstain sore winners since the Cold War
>all that good will and promises to guide them along - abandoned
>Putin looking for any edge he can find to MRGA
>enter Paul "PAG" Manafort

that's convenient

Whoa... Guess all this information that has to do with Trump and his administration is really going to make me vote for Hillary in November...

those leaks also confirm Manafort was working for a lot of people, as a consultant and/or else

Yup. Social scientists are going to study this Trump phenomenon for decades to come.

This stopped being funny and is starting to get creepy.

>CLINTON'S CATTLE FUTURES SCANDAL FROM THE 70S ARE A STAIN ON THAT WHORE'S CHARACTER

what's the source for this?

They are rehashing old shit because the Russia hacking narrative is falling apart.

Those weren't Russian interests. They were his own interests.

Manafort hasn't worked for Trump in like 6 months now.
As usual, folks its

FAKE NEWS

I wonder if the media realizes this idiot Russia story is completely destroying the Democratic party.

No it isn't. It isn't even slightly.

Hmmmm

oops

Not looking good desu seems like Trump will have to resign soon

>DRUMPF IS FINISHED

Said the desperate man for the 1237th time.

3/10 bait
work harder next time

>a decade ago

remember Benghazi?
long time ago
still.....

test

I cane away from the hearing with the sense Democrats have identified the following objectives:
- Seek indictments of Flynn, Manafort, Page and Roger Stone for legal, outdated or nebulous Russian ties
- Discredit Bannon and Alex Jones by targeting Breitbart for harsh online censorship
- Censor Google Youtube and Facebook by lining up major corporations to supposedly "protest" and threaten to withdraw the sponsorship

It's disgusting shit that unfortunately the majority of elected Republicans are not prepared to fight so we will have to as usual

a good place to start might be to stop bumping their threads
