Trump advisers waged covert influence campaign

WASHINGTON (AP) — A firm run by Donald Trump's campaign chairman directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine's ruling political party, attempting to sway American public opinion in favor of the country's pro-Russian government, emails obtained by The Associated Press show. Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, never disclosed their work as foreign agents as required under federal law.

The lobbying included attempts to gain positive press coverage of Ukrainian officials in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press. Another goal: undercutting American public sympathy for the imprisoned rival of Ukraine's then-president. At the time, European and American leaders were pressuring Ukraine to free her.

Gates personally directed the work of two prominent Washington lobbying firms in the matter, the emails show. He worked for Manafort's political consulting firm at the time.


Manafort and Gates' activities carry outsized importance, since they have steered Trump's campaign since April. The pair also played a formative role building out Trump's campaign operation after pushing out an early rival. Trump shook up his campaign's organization again this week, but Manafort and Gates retain their titles and much of their influence. The new disclosures about their work come as Trump faces criticism for his friendly overtures to Russian President Vladimir Putin.


Trump said Thursday night that, if elected, he will ask senior officials in his administration not to accept speaking fees, for five years after leaving office, from corporations that lobby "or from any entity tied to a foreign government." He said it was among his efforts to "restore honor to government."

Manafort and Gates have previously said they were not doing work that required them to register as foreign agents. Neither commented when reached by the AP on Thursday.

The emails show Gates personally directed two Washington lobbying firms, Mercury LLC and the Podesta Group Inc., between 2012 and 2014 to set up meetings between a top Ukrainian official and senators and congressmen on influential committees involving Ukrainian interests. Gates noted in the emails that the official, Ukraine's foreign minister, did not want to use his own embassy in the United States to help coordinate the visits.

Gates also directed the firms to gather information in the U.S. on a rival lobbying operation, including a review of its public lobbying disclosures, to determine who was behind that effort, the emails show.

Trump Called Bankruptcy A “Great Deal.” TRUMP: “I'm going to be selling a piece of my stake for a tremendous infusion of cash that comes into the company.

You do it. I do it professionally. There’s always a clause.” [Donald Trump Rally, Sparks, NV, 10/29/15]

Really, you just need to get over yourself. Your statement contained nothing factual. Just your strange musings. Talk about a wasted life, dying in delusion is a sad way to go through the few moments you have left.

So, for starters, I recommend that you just say one thing that is factual and repeat it a few times each day. Here's a fact you can say and repeat as you cling to your sanity: "Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton will be president of the United States next year". Just repeat that several times per day and the pain will subside.
Everything I said was factual. Yet you declare it is not so. Why do you reject the truth that does not jive with your false world view? Is it possible that you are uneducatable? Are you so deluded that you prefer to remain in ignorance?

Brain washing is the continued reinforcement of a particular mindset, belief system, thoughts, teachings, ideologies, principles, etc until something is disproved or proved. Brain washing is also voluntary and often self induced. (aka: Daily Devotional)

Here is the DNC file on Trump… https://guccifer2.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/1.doc

Here is the sales playbook on the fraudlant "Trump Univerisity" that still has court dates for multiple class action lawsuit:

"The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. " Donald J. Trump from his book, The Art of the Deal.

Put in other words, the quote states and as it applies to political campaigns... As I am lying, I am using the voter's fantasies of a "Safe" "Great" "America" against them, and hoping the incompetent voters believe me.

Oh another thing all politicians must lie to the public at some point in their career.
I would only point out that you restating what someone else said differently than what they actually said is dishonest. You don't get to state another's position for them so you can fault them for it. This makes you a liar.

There is a thread that I started on this forum that contains links to a few articles and a quick search for it will help relieve you of your ignorance. Go forth and learn. Just stay away from those nasty right wing echo chamber media sources. They have already hurt you enough.
There is thread you started that links to nasty left wing echo chamber media? Why didn't you post a link to this crowning achievement of liberal propaganda so I can ignore it?

8 post-meltdown. Is that you, Red?

Learn to multi-quote, you tool...
So I can have a wall of text by differant authors with differant responses? No thanks. Why do you assume that people not doing things the way you want them to means they are unable to? Could it be that you are so deluded in your opinion of yourself that you are unable to comprehend that others don't give a shit how you want them to act? The arrogance of liberal fascists. "Do as I say or I'll attack you". Now, you may proceed with your attacks. Shall we go to name calling again?

So you're fighting for your right to be a friendless asshole? Got it. You want to say racist, sexist and homophobic things without getting punched in the mouth? Got it.

Nothing you said was factual. Just right wing made up shit. Stop wasting your time on those right wing blogs. People lose intelligence by going to those places. Porn is better for you.
