Crooked Joe
The FACTS that PROVE Trump’s EXTRAORDINARY PARTNERSHIP with RUSSIA, a BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP. Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was arrested, tried and convicted under a standard of beyond a reasonable doubt for acting as an illegal Russian backed lobbyist. During the Trump Campaign, Manafort was actively sharing internal campaign polling numbers with Russian spies. Trump later gave him a full pardon, despite NO ONE QUESTIONING HIS GUILT, placing him ABOVE THE LAW. Imagine if a fraction of that were true of the Biden Campaign. The NATO Treaty provides a goal, not a rule, that each nation spends 2% of their GDP on their militaries. Ten NATO nations have met that goal, but in February of 2024, Trump was asked what he would do about the nations that did not meet that goal. In response, he said Russia could “do whatever the hell they want” to them. Given that Russia brutally invaded Ukraine, killing innocent civilians and throwing the lives of 47 million people into chaos, Trump is directly encouraging Russia to start World War III. During the 2016 Election, Russia directly sought to undermine our democracy and influence the American people to vote for Trump. A US Intelligence Community Assessment, representing the collective wisdom of the entire US Intelligence community, said that Russia’s 2016 election interference campaign “demonstrated a significant escalation in directness, level of activity, and scope," and it was all done to elect Trump. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February of 2022, bombing peaceful Ukrainian cities and murdering civilians in mass, Trump called Russian forces a “peace force” and praised Putin as a “genius.” Since then, Trump has repeatedly indicated that he will abandon Ukraine. During the 2016 campaign, Trump looked the American public in the eye and promised that he was not in business with Russia. That was a BOLD-FACED LIE. During the 2016 Campaign, the Trump Organization was negotiating with the Kremlin to build a Trump Tower Moscow, a project which would have netted Trump 100s of $$MILLIONS in profits. In 2008, Trump sold a $40 million mansion to a Russian oligarch for $95 million, and that Russian oligarch has never utilized that property for anything. At a real estate conference that same year, Don Jr. said, “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” In 2013, Trump staged a Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. When a reporter asked Trump if he knew Putin, he answered, “I do have a relationship with him.” In June of 2016, Rob Goldstone, a former tabloid journalist with ties to the Kremlin, contacted Don Jr., writing “Russia” has “offered to provide… official documents and information that incriminate Hillary…” The information was given, according to Goldstone, as part of the Russian Government’s “support for Trump.” Don Jr. then responded, “if it’s what you say, I love it…” The next day, Donald Trump gave a speech promising to release new dirt on Hillary Clinton. Two days later Don Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jerrid Kushner met with Goldstone at Trump Tower, New York City. On July 27th, 2016, Trump, in a public press conference, said, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.” He was referring to private Hillary Clinton emails. On or around that same day, Russian hackers launched an attempt to infiltrate Hillary Clinton’s private email account. Trump publicly asked a foreign dictatorship to attempt to illegally hack the private email account of his political rival, and then they did it. At that moment, American politics reached a new low. At the Helsinki summit in July of 2018, when asked about Russian meddling, Trump denied it and took Putin’s side over all U.S. intelligence agencies, adding “I don’t see any reason why” he would lie. The late Senator John McCain called Trump’s behavior “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American President in memory.” In addition to extorting Ukraine to go after Joe Biden, Trump’s primary political rival, he also extorted them to open a false investigation into the lie that it was Ukraine, and not Russia, that interfered with the 2016 Election. The Mueller investigation, more than demonstrating Trump’s otherworldly affection for Putin and Russia, resulted in “37 indictments” and “seven guilty pleas or convictions," including several in Trump’s inner circle. Paul Manafort was convicted of 2 counts of bank fraud, 5 counts of tax fraud, and a count of failing to declare a foreign bank account: all in relation to his illegal Russian lobbying business. Roger Stone, a long-time Trump confidant, acted as a go-between for Wikileaks and the Trump campaign. Wikileaks held materials damaging to Democrats illegally obtained by Russian hackers. He was convicted of witness tampering and lying to Congress, which, according to the presiding judge, he undertook to cover “up for the President.” Rick Gates, top Trump campaign aid, pled guilty to illegal foreign lobbying and lying to investigators about his contacts with Russians. George Papadopoulos, Trump foreign policy advisor, also pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russians. Finally, though never convicted due to Trump interfering with the DOJ, Michael Flynn, Trump’s first National Security Advisor, was charged with illegal foreign lobbying and lying to the FBI about his Russian connections. DONALD TRUMP IS A RUSSIAN ASSET, PERHAPS WITTINGLY, PERHAPS UNWITTINGLY, BUT HE IS A RUSSIAN ASSET. HE IS A DIRECT THREAT, NOT ONLY TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, BUT TO DEMOCRACIES THE WORLD OVER.
@marklevinshow Here is a RECORDING of Trump revealing TOP-SECRET MILITARY DOCUMENTS and acknowledging he has NO RIGHT to the information. Have you heard the phrase "CAUGHT RED-HANDED?" Trump is a THREAT to WORLD & NATIONAL SECRUITY. He thinks he is ABOVE THE LAW. youtube.com/watch?v=t7T8qV…
