Page, Manafort, Flynn, TILLERSON: Russian minions

These all have close ties to Russian government. Why were they all in the Trump campaign?

There is one thing that Putin wants (besides destabilizing our government) and that is the sanctions lifted so Russia and Exxon can conclude their deal to extract Russian oil with Exxon know-how. This deal is worth billions to Russia, a cash-strapped country.

Putin's deal with Trump was set up

Tillerson, ex-Exxon CEO, was purposely installed as SoS to ease the lifting of sanctions. Is he now the conduit between Trump and Russia?

Tillerson needs to be investigated for continuing ties to Russia.

The bulk of these guys Page, Manafort, Gorka, Epshteyn, Miller and Bannon are shady obscure characters - suddenly thrust on us as part of Trump's team. When you google their names the word "Trump" comes up in the search feature. They are nothings, washed up or without any real background - trying to decide our fate. They would betray our country in a heartbeat.


Tillerson, even with his strong Russian ties, has established himself outside of Trumpworld. I don't trust him, but he is more than a shadow figure. He wants to make money for himself and his friends.
