So much for the "I can't be bought" line of crap he tried to feed us. Look at who he surrounds himself with - sleazy lobbyists who helped obscure funds for foreign pro-Putin quasi-dictators like former Ukraine's Viktor Yanukovych. And his daughter is out cavorting with Putin's girlfriend as we speak.
We already knew Hillary's foundation got money from a Russian uranium deal. This just tells you that if you think Trump will be different and trust
either side to somehow be "clean" of questionable and powerful influences, then you're probably an idiot.

Donald Trump's campaign chairman helped a pro-Russian governing party in Ukraine secretly route at least $2.2 million in payments to two prominent Washington lobbying firms in 2012, and did so in a way that effectively obscured the foreign political party's efforts to influence U.S. policy.
The revelation, provided to The Associated Press by people directly knowledgeable about the effort, comes at a time when Trump has faced criticism for his friendly overtures to Russian President Vladimir Putin. It also casts new light on the business practices of campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
Manafort and business associate Rick Gates, another top strategist in Trump's campaign, were working in 2012 on behalf of the political party of Ukraine's then-president, Viktor Yanukovych.
People with direct knowledge of Gates' work said that, during the period when Gates and Manafort were consultants to the Ukraine president's political party, Gates was also helping steer the advocacy work done by a pro-Yanukovych nonprofit that hired a pair of Washington lobbying firms, Podesta Group Inc. and Mercury LLC.
