https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/62b7e699-5971-35ac-885d-42505bf1be5a/ss_ex-rnc-chief%3A-russian.html"Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele agreed, and he said Manaforts corruption was obvious during the 2016 campaign.
What he brought into the campaign, and the fact that he had connections that reached a lot further than we thought in terms of the relationships in Russia, as well as the influence on the campaign, Steele said. We saw it play out, Joe.
I remember being on the show back when the RNC changed its platform to sort of reflect this sort of Russian influence, Steele added. This is all part of a strategy, as indicated in the reporting to get friendly players inside government, to carry the water on behalf of Russia and one of the key operatives of that was Paul Manafort.
Theres no indication yet that Manafort, who was jailed last month on witness tampering charges as he awaits trial on money laundering and other charges, is prepared to flip on Trump but his longtime attorney is signaling that he might."

I mean, REALLY.
will they finally admit that Chump shouldn't be where he is now? Because that's the foregone conclusion.

The Russians downed a fucking airline, annexed a portion of the country, caused a civil war that killed more people proportionately than 9/11 and created an internal migration almost as large as Syria.
And yet the Republicans decided all of that was a-OK.

we should bear in mind that Obama let that happen. My blood pressure cannot take it.
