You would have thought someone with Putin's money could have bought a way better President.

It was a mistake to bring Manafort in. He was beltway insider and lobbyist with murky connections to Russian linked Ukranian interests. He seemed like a political opportunist who was using the Trump connection to bolster his faltering lobbying business. There were red flags all over this. He was waste deep in the polluted swamp of Washington lobbying culture.

But he was brought in at the behest of Trump friend and confidant (and fellow billionaire) Tom Barrack to manage the convention on Trump's behalf and curtail any potential delegate revolts. He was a political wheeler dealer which probably appealed to Trump. This is all part of a political campaign. All parties are filled with these icky political operatives who work in the trenches. But that is not criminal or unethical.

And it has NOTHING to do with collusion. Which is still a frameup; a witchhunt. The minor level Trump assocate who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI seemed to be some minor figure scheming to scare up some dirt on Hillary but certainly without any quid pro quo for the Russians and likely without any directions from top campaign officials.

The U.S Congress should be looking at the whole set up of these Special Prosecutors. They seem to become Personal Prosecutors running investigations without limits as to scope or timing. They can last years. The charges against Monafort and Gates had nothing to do with the mandate to investigate collusion of the Russians in the Trump campaign. It happened before there was a Trump campaign.

You get these slimey politically connected hatchet men like Mueller (or Kenneth Starr with the Clintons) running roughshod over government in some kind crusade for their own careers and aggrandisement. Trump should really consider setting a time limit for this, then kicking Mueller's ass out the job.

You spelled Rothschild banksters wrong.

Hillary Clinton Begs Forgiveness From Rothschilds In Leaked Email – True Activist
Hillary Clinton asked Lady de Rothschild "Let me know what penance I owe you" after requesting Tony Blair accompany her on official business, preventing him from attending a Rothschild event scheduled for that same weekend.

It’s hard to think of a presidential candidate that has been at the heart of more scandals than Hillary Clinton. Each passing day seems to bring a new revelation which shines more light upon the corrupt and murky world that Clinton operates in. If Clinton is installed into the White House by the elite in the coming months, it will not only be the final death blow to the American Republic, but it will also drastically increase the probability that a major conflagration will occur between the global powers of the world in the near future.
Despite not being a big fan of Trump – due to the fact that I’m not convinced that he is an independent candidate, or that he is not a hawk himself – there is no doubt that Clinton will be a total abomination as President. In the majority of the mainstream media, there has been a clear propaganda campaign to demonise Trump at all costs, focusing the public’s attention on Trump’s antics rather than Clinton’s crimes. The real estate magnate is hardly a difficult person to ridicule, but considering the blatant crimes that Clinton has committed, she has practically been given a free pass by the mainstream media.
There is of course a very good reason why she has been given such a pass by the mainstream media: Clinton is the elite’s puppet of choice for President. Each passing day brings further confirmation of this fact, with her establishment backers including numerous Wall Street giants, the military-industrial complex, in addition to the likes of George Soros. On top of these interests, we can now comfortably add the infamous Rothschild banking dynasty to the list. As Zero Hedge reported in their August 21st article titled, Hillary Clinton Flies 20 Miles In Private Jet To Attend Rothschild Nantucket Fundraiser:
As we reported a few days ago, Bill and Hillary Clinton spent Friday night in Martha’s Vineyard celebrating Bill’s 70thbirthday (posted here). We’re sure it was a grand affair, well worth the heat Obama had to take from Louisiana flood victims to attend. Turns out the following morning, Hillary, not one to be bothered with traditional peasant forms of travel, awoke andtook her private jet just 20 miles over to Nantucket where the Rothschild’s will be hosting a fundraiser. The event is open to all…well anyone who can afford the $100,000 per personprice tag.
In reality, this recent fundraiser is just the latest illustration of the connections between Clinton and the Rothschild family. Buried among the tens-of-thousands of emails sent to and from Clinton’s private servers when she was Secretary of State, were a series of exchanges that reveal the very intimate relationship between Clinton and Lynn Forester de Rothschild (or Lady de Rothschild).
In one email sent to Clinton on the 23rd of September, 2010, Lady de Rothschild wrote:
You are the best, and we remain your biggest fans. Sweet dreams and Godspeed with everything you are doing.
Another email sent from Lady de Rothschild to Clinton on April 9th, 2012, read:
Hi Hillary, Trust all is well. I have done some thinking about the ideas we discussed at dinner a couple of months ago. I have some further thoughts that I would love to run by you. Any chance you are free in DC at any time from the 16-20 of May? Or, any time or place that works for you. Lots of Love, Lynn.
Lady de Rothschild wrote in an April, 2010 email (under the subject “miss you”) to Clinton that: “I would love to catch up,” and “I remain your loyal adoring pal.” Hillary responds by writing: “I would love to see you but your days overlap w Karzai’s visit so I will have to get that settled before I can confirm a time but let’s make it happen. So I’m copying Lona and Huma so we can start planning. Much love, H.”
Lady de Rothschild married into the banking dynasty back in 2000, after reportedly meeting the billionaire financier, Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, in 1998, at the annual Bilderberg conference – with the matchmaker in all of this being none other than the war criminal and former US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger. A long-time fundraiser and supporter of Clinton, Lady de Rothschild is an influential friend to have, considering the power that has been vested in the banking dynasty for centuries.
Hillary is not the only politician who has a close relationship with the “puppet masters” however. In 2009, it was revealedthat the British politician and former European Commissioner for Trade, Peter Mandelson, who held the position of Business Secretary at the time, was running Britain for a brief period from a Rothschild estate in Corfu.

It's a great strategy regardless.

No. When you're succeeding, you want to focus attention. When your failing like Trump, you want to divert. I'm really not surprised that you aren't sharp enough to grasp the concept. Brightness isn't a trait usually associated with Trumpites
