From Russia, with Trump
July 25, 2016 10:23 AM Subscribe
TalkingPointsMemo published an article describing the relationship between Trump and Russia over the weekend.
The article pointed to a Washington Post discussion of Trump's financial ties with Russia, a NYTimes article which mentioned funding from 'questionable sources' in Russia and Kazakshstan, and notes that Trump's foreign policy adviser on Russia and Europe is someone with close relations with Russian business.
This article was written after DNC emails were leaked, which the FBI suspects Russian involvement. The TPM article deliberately avoided discussing the hack because "because I've wanted to focus on unimpeachable, undisputed and publicly known facts." Despite the attack on the DNC supposedly focused on Trump opposition files being grabbed, the only documents that leaked were those that embarrassed the DNC, which resulted in the head of the DNC resigning. Hacking to influence elections is apparently not a new thing.
At least one street artist agrees that Trump and Putin have a very close relationship.
