A senior official who dismantled the US government's Russian disinformation unit is married to a Russian woman with links to the Kremlin, The Telegraph can reveal.

He eliminated a State Department office that dealt with Russian disinformation campaigns--and is married to a woman with family ties to the Kremlin. It's another clear conflict of interest that's extremely typical within the Trump administration. https://trib.al/vd9Gmm1

The abominable Darren Beattie, who founded Revolver.News, spread rumors that Marco Rubio is gay. Now Beattie works for Rubio. You can't make this up:

Trump has always surrounded himself with Russian agents... .. take Paul Manafort. Please:

"Manafort also worked for Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska. In 2005, Manafort allegedly came up with a plan to influence U.S. politics, business dealings and the media in order to "greatly benefit the Putin government," according to The Associated Press.

Deripaska is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and signed a $10 million annual contract with Manafort in 2006; they maintained a business relationship until at least 2009.

Financial records obtained by The New York Times indicated that Manafort was in debt to pro-Russian interests by up to $17 million prior to joining Donald Trump's presidential campaign."

But, what more can you expect from one of the biggest liars on the DR.

Trump has always surrounded himself with Russian agents.

When you look at it from the POV that felon47 is a Russian agent it all makes sense.

Did either of them blackmail ukraine to put out false stories about political rivals or lose aid money?

Nothing to comment on the topic of trump hiring russian connected puppets to dismantle our anti russia capabilities?

"Trump's oldest son said a decade ago that a lot of the family's assets came from Russia"
