BOOM! FBI CONFIRMS investigation into former Trump campaign manager over TIES to RUSSIA!!

by SooperMexican

Hillary is probably breathing a sign of relief right now as the FBI confirms that they are indeed investigating Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort’s connections to Russia.

Watch below:

Wow. This could be connected to the pressure that Harry Reid was putting the FBI under earlier, but he was exaggerating by saying that they already had “explosive” evidence, and that Comey was breaking the law.

Here’s more about the Manafort investigation from NBC News:

The FBI has been conducting a preliminary inquiry into Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort’s foreign business connections, law enforcement and intelligence sources told NBC News Monday.

Word of the inquiry, which has not blossomed into a full-blown criminal investigation, comes just days after FBI Director James Comey’s disclosure that his agency is examining a new batch of emails connected to an aide to Hillary Clinton.

And it comes a day after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid criticized Comey’s revelation and asserted that Comey possesses “explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government.”

The FBI did not comment. Manafort told NBC News “none of it is true … There’s no investigation going on by the FBI that I’m aware of.” He said he had never had ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin, or had dealings with Putin and his government. He said any suggestion of such ties was “Democratic propaganda.”

“This is all political propaganda, meant to deflect,” he said.

NBC News reported in August that Manafort was a key player in multi-million-dollar business propositions with Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs — one of them a close Putin ally with alleged ties to organized crime — which foreign policy experts said raised questions about the pro-Russian bent of the Trump candidacy.

You can bet the media will go nuts over this, but that doesn’t mean it’s unmerited. What an insane election.
