A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Theres two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump, McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by lThe Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthys assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

(565 posts)So the manipulation of our ally against russia was probably the For Sale sign for the rusky oligarchs to pour money into NRA (and where are those records?).
Who exactly paid Trump to do that?
NPR ref:
"Diana Denman, a Republican delegate who supported arming U.S. allies in Ukraine, has told people that Trump aide J.D. Gordon said at the Republican Convention in 2016 that Trump directed him to support weakening that position in the official platform."

(565 posts)and that's where the black ledger with Manafort's name popped up being paid or owed by a russian oligarch. Trump wanted to shift the blame saying Manafort was framed, Putin could say see I told ya, now lift the sanctions and Putin and Trump can happily retire to TT Moscow.
My theory, I'm sticking with it. One last point, there has to be a draft fake Son of Biden doc out there!
