Donald Trump and Russia Conspire to Embarrass DNC on Eve of Convention

Back in June, it was reported that the DNC had been hacked by the Russian Government

It was reported that Paul Manafort has ties to Pro-Russian Ukrainians

Then there is this tie to Wikileaks and the Russian Inelegance Service
https://20committee.com/2015/08/31/wikileaks-is-a-front-for-russian-intelligence/

Let's see if I can put this all together. Emails that are embarrassing to the DNC and the Clinton campaign are disclosed by Wikileaks on the weekend before the Democratic Convention. Putin and Donald have had this "bromance" for months. His Campaign Manager, Paul Manafort has ties to dictators in Europe, including Putin, through his lobbying agency. The Russians, by every knowledgeable expert's account, are responsible for the DNC hack.

I contend that Trump and Putin are behind this leak. Let's put it this way, I certainly have posted more facts and evidence for my contention than Donald Trump did in accusing Ted Cruz's Father of being part of the John Kennedy Assassination.

tweeting links exactly like this, it might force coverage

you KNOW they won't deal with this unless its CRAMMED down their throats

I'm getting tired of dems not bringing up the MYRIAD examples of this guy's complete crookedness, craziness, racism, mendacity

what on earth are they doing with the wealth of information out there?
they sure seem to be sitting on almost ALL of it. is that the problem, too much to winnow out the best? I think not
