Interesting claims from Andrea Chalupa:

This is a thread about #RussiaGate and Paul Manafort's $10M/year contract to further the interests of Putin's government:

1. Active IC agent told me Russia developed Trump for over decade, could have arrested him for sex crimes, instead collected kompromat

2. Manafort awarded massive contract/presented master strategy to politically further Putin's interests same year he moved into Trump Tower

3. Manafort worked for one of Putin's closest oligarchs.This is essentially working for Putin.Strategy was to "benefit the Putin government"

4. Manafort strategy promised to further Putin's interests in US media/business. Paid $10M/year. Helped having close friend/neighbor like DT

5. Manafort and Trump were already old friends. Likely Manafort knew he could rely on his old friend/neighbor in furthering his Kremlin work

6.After contract over,Manafort worked for Putin puppet in Ukraine later overthrown 4 killing protesters.Manafort's client fled,Putin invades

1. When Manafort went to work on Trump campaign around March 2016, anyone following Ukraine knew this was troubling

2. Manafort close w/overthrown Ukraine president who ran country like his own ATM,enriching his children, beat journalists/killed protesters

9.Given harassment my sister faced investigating Manafort,knowing what Donna Brazile meant when she said DNC staffers feared for their lives

1. Given Manafort, Flynn, Stone, Page, Caputo, Epshteyn, Conway's husband & other Russia ties on Trump's core campaign team...

2. Can't help but think today of what IC agent told me: Trump never wanted to win. They made him run. He's trapped. And now IC closing in.

Thoughts?
