Well now, since Trump obviously cause the Russia/Ukraine mess then we need to get congress moving on an impeachment! Hang that Trump ****er from the highest yardarm and maybe the next guy won't be so brazen in whatever it is he did to get all the world so worked up.
Are you residing under a rock. or perhaps, in "a cardboard box, down by the river"?
Your reflexive, "victim posture," is unnerving, creepy, if originating merely from involuntary attraction to authority, much more troubling
if it is well thought out.
Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We are now of the belief that this model can greatly benefit the Putin Government if employed at the correct levels with the appropriate commitment to success,”
Manafort wrote in the 2005 memo to Deripaska. The effort, Manafort wrote, “will be offering a great service that can re-focus, both internally and externally, the policies of the Putin government.”

Jun 15, 2018 — "You know, Paul Manafort worked for me for a very short period of time," Trump said, before ticking off other Republican presidential nominees ...
"Manafort has nothing to do with our campaign. I'll tell you, I feel a little badly about it. They went back 12 years to get things that he did 12 years ago? ".... He worked for me, what, for 49 days or something? A very short period of time."

Dec 24, 2020 — WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald
Trump on Wednesday pardoned more than two dozen people, including former campaign chairman Paul
Manafort ...
Now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has indicted Paul Manafort, the former chairman of President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the White House has already begun to revive its efforts to distance itself from Manafort and play down the role he had on the campaign. But try as they...

"....Trump circle’s attempts to minimize connections
When it started to become clear that Manafort was likely in serious legal jeopardy, the White House pushed the idea that his role on the campaign was minimal. ..Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary at the time,
said Manafort was someone “who played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time” during the presidential campaign. Another campaign aide
told Politico in May that he “wasn’t part of the core campaign team,” and that Trump and Manafort “didn’t have a relationship” until Tom Barrack, a real estate investor and close friend of Trump’s and Manafort’s for several decades, recommended that Trump allow him to join the team as a volunteer. Roger Stone, Trump’s longtime political adviser, also
recommended Trump hire Manafort.
....
The Trump team has also downplayed how well the president and Manafort knew each other before the 2016 campaign. Manafort himself has
said, “Donald Trump and I had some business in the 1980s but we had no relationship until the Trump campaign called me.”
Trump and Manafort’s History Together
...but it’s clear Trump and Manafort have been operating in close circles for decades. In 1980, Manafort, Charles Black and Roger Stone (all Ronald Reagan campaign officials) opened a lobbying shop in Washington, D.C. One of their very first clients: Donald Trump, who employed the lobbying firm of Black, Manafort & Stone through the early 1990s.
Plus, both men have mutual close friends, including Barrack and Stone, whom Manafort and Trump have been friends with for decades. Both Manafort and Trump were active in the New Jersey political scene in the 1980s, and later, both men were involved in lobbying Capitol Hill on Indian gaming issues. Since 2006, Manafort has owned a condo in Trump Tower in Manhattan, and around the same time, became involved in the Manhattan real estate scene. ..."
