Trump - From Russia With Hate

  Now ask yourself, why does Trump need to demonize Clinton as a 'criminal'. You could answer, because it's a tactic to win votes, you smear your opponent, this is politics. That may be true, but what is arising is the fact that Trump wants people to look the other way while he is engaged in utterly fishy business in Russia. This is coming to light and the implications are off the chart. Forget the Trump is a demagogue fascist stuff, Trump is a mad man.

Guardian UK: Donald Trump and Russia: a web that grows more tangled all the time - Frank Mermoud, a key figure at the recent Republican national convention, has strong business ties with Ukraine – the latest in a series of Trump staffers with worrying links to Russia and its interests, including the candidate himself

The party platform written at the convention in Cleveland last week removed references to arming Ukraine in its fight with Russia, which has supported separatists in eastern Ukraine. Trump’s links to Russia are under scrutiny after a hack of Democratic national committee emails, allegedly by Russian agents.

Frank Mermoud also has longstanding ties to Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who in 2010 helped pro-Russia Viktor Yanukovych refashion his image and win a presidential election in Ukraine. Manafort was brought in earlier this year to oversee the convention operations and its staffing.
