Alex Wagner JUst Did A Report On Manafort & How He Got Viktor Yanukovych Elected

and went on to tie in his experience with Putin in that election to the 2016 election. What surprided me was...not once did she mention Tad Devine...

“Tad Devine, who worked with Manafort to help elect strongman Viktor Yanukovych president of Ukraine in 2010, revealed Thursday that he is assisting the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“Congratulations on a great campaign,” Devine wrote Manafort in an email after Yanukovych’s February 2010 victory. “You deserve enormous credit for pulling everything together, and for your leadership. It was great to be part of the team.”

“Tad Devine, a Democratic consultant who worked on Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) presidential campaign, testified that Manafort paid his firm $500,000 to work on Viktor Yanukovych’s presidential campaign in Ukraine in 2010, paid in monthly installments of $62,500. Devine also received a $100,000 bonus when Yanukovych won the election. (Special counsel Robert Mueller has alleged “that Manafort earned more than $60 million dollars from his Ukraine work during the period at issue and failed to report a significant percentage of it on his tax returns.”)

Really Kristen Welker?

asking the president if he is satisfied with the job the vice-president is doing and will she remain his running mate in the next election. So Ms. Saturday Today Show Welker has joined the effort to dismiss our wonderful vice president. I never liked her and now for sure I consider her a slip shod reporter looking for a hit. Craig Melvin the the same thing to VP Harris' face when he recently interviewed her.
