Richard Engel, NBC News chief foreign correspondent, talks with Rachel Maddow about his reporting on a previously undisclosed $26 million dollar loan from a Russian oligarch to Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/tens-of-millions-loaned-from-russian-to-trump-campaign-manager-1073155139524

some comments/quotes

At least $60 Million in 'loans' from a Putin operative have been identified going through Paul Manafort's bank accounts, Donald Trump's Campaign Chairman. Some of these funds were then used to buy real estate in the US. Using unsecured loans like these is a typical pattern in money laundering.

This money was not used for the campaign...it was not a lump sum, part of it was for some sort of investment for which manafort either squandered or made a bad investment, part of it looks like plain old laundering, and part of it could be payment for altering the RNC's 2016 platform to alienate Ukraine and or giving the Kremlin direct access to DJT and or colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate voting by various means.

Derapaska who 'loaned' the funds to Manafort is extremely close to Putin and cannot get a visa to the US because of reported ties to organized crime. Derapaska was a major backer of the Pro-Putin campaign in Ukraine for which Manafort worked and later was forced to register as a foreign agent.

If you wanted to know if Russia was attacking the US election, you could find out through Manafort and Derapaska's connections. Mueller is looking into this. In 2006 Manafort entered into a $10 Million annual contract with Derapaska to advance the interests of Putin and the Russian government around the world.

•Emails have been found of Manafort offering Derapaka private briefings on the trump campaign while he was serving as trump's campaign chair.


•In 2015, Derapaska sued Manafort in VA for $19M.


•After he was kicked off the Trump Campaign, Manafort received $20 Million in cash loans from a bank owned by a Trump supporter. It's a tiny bank that caters to veterans, but they gave Mananafort a quarter of their lendable assets even though he's not a veteran.


•If Manafort had such debt, why did he work for Trump's campaign for free?

there's a mountain of evidence trump is directly tied to Russia and has been cultivated by Putin for years. His business is built on Russian money laundering. https://newrepublic.com/article/143586/trumps-russian-laundromat-trump-tower-luxury-high-rises-dirty-money-international-crime-syndicate

After he had to quit as trump's chairman because it was found out he was working as a foreign agent, it appears Trump facilitated two under the table loans to Manafort. One the same night of the day he resigned, and one right after Trump stole the election. They look like kickbacks for helping trump's conspiracy with Russia to rig the election. Mueller is all over it. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/12/us/politics/paul-manafort-donald-trump.html

3. Wow!

After he was kicked off the Trump Campaign, Manafort received $20 Million in cash loans from a bank owned by a Trump supporter. It's a tiny bank that caters to veterans, but they gave Mananafort a quarter of their lendable assets even though he's not a veteran.

6. That annoyed me as well. Our VETS need those bank funds for loans- car/homes.

Republican campaign knew everything about Manafort, his connections to Putin, Ukraine invasion and his attacks on democracies. No Republican "Leader" spoke up, they let this treason go on for years. Really duped the crap out of Trump, used Trumps connection to real estate 'deals' to keep him much quieter about this treason America has to clean house immediately before it's to late. We'll end up a 2 class society and 2nd class won't be able to do anything about it.
