Ex-Trump aide Paul Manafort approved 'black ops' to help Ukraine president

This is very long and comprehensive article..most won't read it..but lots of info..for those who do.

Looks like Manafort was one dirty dog:

"Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort authorised a secret media operation on behalf of Ukraine’s former president featuring “black ops”, “placed” articles in the Wall Street Journal and US websites and anonymous briefings against Hillary Clinton.


The project was designed to boost the reputation of Ukraine’s then leader, Viktor Yanukovych. It was part of a multimillion-dollar lobbying effort carried out by Manafort on behalf of Yanukovych’s embattled government, emails and documents reveal.



The strategies included:


• Proposing to rewrite Wikipedia entries to smear a key opponent of the then Ukrainian president.


• Setting up a fake thinktank in Vienna to disseminate viewpoints supporting Yanukovych.


• A social media blitz “aimed at targeted audiences in Europe and the US”.


• Briefing journalists from the rightwing website Breitbart to attack Clinton when she was US secretary of state.


Manafort’s Ukraine strategy anticipated later efforts by the Kremlin and its troll factory to use Twitter and Facebook to discredit Clinton and to help Trump win the 2016 US election. The material seen by the Guardian dates from 2011 to 2013.

Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating claims of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, has indicted Manafort on multiple counts. Manafort is accused of “laundering profits” from his lobbying work in Ukraine, carried out over a period of a decade for Yanukovych and his political party."

Very dirty indeed!

Hello? Ukraine is an ally of ours.

Ukraine ≠ Russia.

LoL...surely you know that the former President, Whom Manafort worked for, was a Pro-Russian puppet..surely you know that, right?

Viktor Yanukovych - Wikipedia
Yanukovych served as the governor of Donetsk Oblast, a province in eastern Ukraine, from 1997 to 2002. He was Prime Minister of Ukraine from 21 November 2002 to 31 December 2004, under President Leonid Kuchma. Yanukovych first ran for president in 2004: he advanced to the runoff election, and initially defeated his opponent. However, the election was fraught with allegations of fraud and voter intimidation. This caused widespread citizen protests and Kyiv's Independence Square was occupied in what became known as the Orange Revolution. The Ukrainian Supreme Court nullified the runoff election, and ordered a second runoff. Yanukovych lost this second runoff election to Viktor Yushchenko. Yanukovych served as Prime Minister for a second time from 4 August 2006 to 18 December 2007, under President Yushchenko.


Yanukovych was elected President in 2010, defeating Yulia Tymoshenko. November 2013 saw the beginning of a series of events that led to his ousting as President.[6][7][8] Yanukovych rejected a pending EU association agreement, choosing instead to pursue a Russian loan bailout and closer ties with Russia. This led to protests and the occupation of Kyiv's Independence Square, a series of events dubbed the "Euromaidan" by young pro-European Union Ukrainians. In January 2014, this developed into deadly clashes in Independence Square and in other areas across Ukraine, as Ukrainian citizens confronted the Berkut and other special police units.[9] In February 2014, Ukraine appeared to be on the brink of civil war, as violent clashes between protesters and special police forces led to many deaths and injuries.[10][11][12] On 21 February 2014, Yanukovych claimed that, after lengthy discussions, he had reached an agreement with the opposition.[13] Later that day, however, he left the capital for a speaking engagement in Kharkiv, coming under fire as he left Kyiv, and travelling next to Crimea, and eventually to exile in southern Russia.[14]


On 22 February, the Ukrainian parliament voted to remove him from his post, on the grounds that he was unable to fulfill his duties.[15] Although the legislative removal by an impeachment procedure would have lacked the number of votes required by Ukraine's constitution,[16] the resolution did not follow the impeachment procedure but instead established that Yanukovych "withdrew from his duties in an unconstitutional manner" and citing "circumstances of extreme urgency",[17][18] a situation for which there was no stipulation in the then-current Ukrainian constitution.[19] Parliament set 25 May as the date for the special election to select his replacement,[15][20][21][22] and, two days later, issued a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of "mass killing of civilians."[23]


After his departure, Yanukovych conducted several press conferences. In one of these, he declared himself to remain "the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state elected in a free vote by Ukrainian citizens".[24] On 3 October 2014, several news agencies reported that according to a Facebook post made by the aide to the Ukrainian Interior Minister, Anton Gerashchenko, Viktor Yanukovych had been granted Russian citizenship by a "secret decree" of Vladimir Putin.[25] On the same day, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that he didn't know anything about this.[26]


On 18 June 2015, Yanukovych was officially deprived of the title of President of Ukraine by the Supreme Rada of Ukraine.[27]


As for the rest..deflect much?

There's nothing to deflect from.

Figure it out for yourself:

1. Obama decides not to provide weapons to the Ukraine, who desperately needed them to fight the Russians.

2. Manafort who is an associate of Trump, has dealings with Ukrainians.

3. Trump reverses Obama's policy and supplies the Ukraine with weapons.

And the problem is?

Make your trouble elsewhere.

But did he buy Russian Propaganda to help Hillary Clinton win The Election?

That’s what I want to know.

And did Hillary Clinton order the deaths of Seth Rich and the poisonings of British Spy, Steele’s friend Russian Spy Skirpal, who worked with him on The Dossier?

Lastly when is Jeff Sessions going to fire Rod Rosenstein for Obstruction of FOIA Requests?
