You see no conflict of interest?

And this is only one example. Trump is tied to people all over the globe. He is the consummate globalist.

This story is such a BS hit job and pretty much fluff. A man of Trump's success is going to have business interests everywhere. The important thing is that he will have the integrity to not let any of those interests come before leading our great nation out of the pit that Obama has thrust us in, and I am confident he is the best option of the two to accomplish that.

Besides,

1. ABC supports Hillary, and so do the rest of the MSM.
2. Hillary had a secret server and should be barred from ever having security clearance again.
3. Hillary lies about almost all things.
4. Hillary is ill, probably dying, and definitely unfit to be president.
5. The system is rigged against Trump, and the most powerful factions of the world are attempting to prevent his victory in the election.

A convenient way to suggest he should not be president. Too bad your candidate has almost zero redeeming qualities on which to stand and campaign. Instead, she stays in virtual hiding, getting who knows what treatment to help her survive until the election, and has all of her minions doing anything and everything they can to keep her from LOSING. Sad, when your only strategy is to try not to lose. A pathetic attribute to add to the rest of disgraceful qualities she has.

I know exactly what Hillary did and didn't do. Been following this crap for years because my lifelong hobby is urban rumor.

I do not like Hillary. I am still pissed that she went on 60 Minutes and told the world there had been problems in her marriage but, things were resolved. I did not think she has any business running the first time.

The e mail server was a problem of stupidity from the start. She knew she was running again. If managing cell phones and laptops was too much trouble, she could have hired somebody to walk 2 steps behind her and transmit messages for her. That said, NOBODY in the USA government oversees this chit. If the congress wants it, they should provide a person who can be held responsible. Obama is the one who made the rule about email after Karl Rove flushed millions after the congress had asked for them. All things saved is through the Archives and they want a paper copy. The government instruction is to take a hammer to obsolete electronics.

Benghazi is BS and everybody in government knows it. They just cannot talk about it. That is how the Rs are getting by with all these hearings.

I voted for Bernie and intended to sit out this election. But, when the Rs nominated Trump I started paying attention. He's playing the long con. His supporters are mostly everything they accuse the Hlllary tribe of being.

Reading the comments on CD from the Trump folks has convinced me that i have a civic duty to vote for Billary.

If all we had is this ABC story I would agree, it's light on facts and has fluff -- except for one critical piece: The testimony of Sergei Millian, President of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce, who said in the video that Trump has "hundreds of millions of dollars" worth of business in Russia. This contradicts what Trump says, who claims no investments in Russia.

Now consider Trump's choice of Paul Manafort and Carter Page to serve on his staff. Both lived for years in Russia and the Ukraine. Manafort was paid $12.7 million to help prop up Ukraine's pro-Russia president. Page spent years developing energy there.

Connect the dots people. The Trump empire is very deep in Russia and there's no way Trump can represent the interests of the United States as President when he has so much business on the line.

I have a better idea. Start Googling Trump's business interests in Russia and see what you get. There is a lot of spin, innuendo and manufactured news stories from WaPo, HuffPo, Salon, NBC, Vox, The Daily Beast...and what do they all have in common? They are all pulling for Hillary.

What you don't get when you Google Trump's business interests in Russia are any of the respected business news organizations such as the WSJ discussing the "Trump empire very deep in Russia".

In fact you get stories such as this from the business magazine Fortune - Donald Trump's Long, Fruitless Quest for Business in Russia

Or The Economist - "Mr Trump’s business interests in Russia amount to little, though not for want of trying: his multiple attempts to crack the Moscow property market, beginning with a trip to the Soviet Union in 1987, all fell through. If anything, this suggests a lack of well-placed Kremlin connections rather than the opposite. His most successful venture involved bringing the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow in 2013. While Mr Trump hoped Mr Putin would attend—tweeting “Will he become my new best friend?”—the Russian president never made it." Brazen meddling | The Economist

So who are we supposed to believe? George Stephanopoulos, Hillary's hit-man at ABC, or respected business magazines who use real reporters and who's lifeblood is the world's business and it's inhabitants.

ABC and Clinton donor stephanapolis are turning desperate. Hit jobs and fluffed polls to try to keep fainting Hillary afloat. What about Hillary and Russia? Millions of dollars went into her account after Russia obtained uranium one. What a joke

Follow the money and it soon becomes apparent Trump is playing the long con.

In the short con, the mark eventually realizes that he has been had.

The long con is more involved and often the mark never realizes he's been conned. He assumes that forces beyond his control came together to defeat him.

What investments does Trump have in Russia?
