Discussion: Trump Campaign Adviser Steps Down While Disputing Claims Of Russia Ties

I don’t necessarily think that Putin’s stable of billionaires are " sanctioned" officials.

“It’s completely false and inconceivable that someone would even accuse me of that,” Page said.

That’s so much more believable in the original Russian.

“Это совершенно неверно, и немыслимо, чтобы кто-то даже обвинить меня в том, что”

See what I mean?

I love when totally innocent people who never did one wrong thing resign high positions completely voluntarily because of the unfortunate “distraction” the needless hubbub has caused. I fucking love it.

The GOP has been trying to make that connection through donations to the Clinton Foundation.

“Crooked Hillary says we must call on Saudi Arabia and other countries to stop funding hate. I am calling on her to immediately return the $25 million plus she got from them for the Clinton Foundation!” - Trump twit on June 13, 2016.

Additionally, Page sent a letter Monday to FBI Director James Comey, requesting the agency to terminate any investigation into his Russian travels.

The fucking clueless arrogance of the modern GOP.

There’s no reason to believe any of Trump’s people about anything.

This makes HOW MANY distractions? Casey’s assault on a reporter, Manafort getting money under the table from the Ukraine, and now this. When do we find out Steve Bannion and David Duke share the same gay-porn account?

They’d be looking for a stake to burn her on.

So they would have $25 million more to fund hate? Makes so much sense.

I wonder if he’ll call her Crooked Hillary during the debate.

A good “entrance exam” for an aspiring US Intelligence agent would be to create an org chart of the Trump campaign that at least 3 top campaign officials would agree on.

On second thought – too tough.

Edit: For example, we have this from the Washington Post story about Trump using his Foundation to evade taxes on some of his earnings:

The Trump campaign initially responded that Patton’s account was wrong.

“Lynne is wonderful,” said Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks during the Saturday telephone interview in which Epshteyn also participated. “But she is not a spokesperson for Mr. Trump or the campaign or the foundation.”

After it was pointed out that Patton made the statement while appearing on behalf of the campaign, Hicks responded: “Yeah. . . . She wouldn’t know or understand.”

He steps down. You see, that means it never happened in Trump world. This person and Manafort just go away and so there’s nothing to see here.

I suspect that Trump doesn’t really know that not a penny of the $$$ given to the Clinton Foundation benefits Clinton. It’s certainly not how his foundation works.
