PAY ATTENTION - VIDEO THREAD - THE MODUS OPERANDI OF TRUMP ADMINISTRATION & #TRUMPRUSSIA IS SIMPLY USING AS A TEMPLATE WHAT RUSSIA AND #PAULMANAFORTE DID WITH #YANOKOVICH IN UKRAINE.
2) #Yanokovich won the #Ukraine election in 2004 because, wait for it eustedes, Russain state operative HACKED the election servers and gave Yanokovich enough votes to claim victory. This is EXACTLY what @MikeFarb1 & the statisticians at #unhackthevote are saying happened in 2016
3) #PaulManaforte 's contrived narrative about #Yanokovich being "his own man" (as oppose to an RU shill) and a "strong leader" with "a plan" who was the victim of "bad reporting" is the same contrived narrative the Trump administration has been pushing since its campaign.
4) #PaulManaforte's claim that there was no #RussianInterference in the #Yanokovich campaign sounded as phoney to @lukeharding1968 back in the #Ukraine as it sounds to me today being said about Trump #Collusion
5) When #Yanokovich was president of #Ukraine he
-Attempted to destroy Democratic institutions
-Packed courts & prosecutors offices w/ unqualified cronies so he could lock up opposition leaders
-Made #Ukraine, in effect, a servant state to RU
-Rolled back #OrangeRevolution reform
6) See if this description of how #Yanokovich ruled as president of #Ukraine doesn't sound FRIGHTENINGLY familiar. #TrumpRussia
7) Oh and #Yanokovich was a #kleptocratic who robbed #Ukraine 2 enrich himself, his immediate family and his cronies. As I stated, eustedes, Trump is playing by the #PaulaManaforte Ukraine playbook. Hear all this & more in @Lukeharding 's #Collusion #RussianInterference is REAL
8) When I write that Trump is using the #PaulManaforte playbook, I mean the 1 Manaforte signed a $10million/yr contract to execute. The contract was signed with Deripaska, an aluminum mogul & a Putin controlled RU oligarch. Listen:
