That after all these years of accusations against the ‘commie democrats’- the political party that is actually in bed with the Russians, and loaded with clandestine Russian agents, turns out to be the Republican Party?

FBI and Justice Department prosecutors are conducting an investigation into possible US ties to alleged corruption of the former pro-Russian president of Ukraine, including the work of Paul Manafort’s firm, according to multiple US law enforcement officials.

The investigation is broad and is looking into whether US companies and the financial system were used to aid alleged corruption by the party of former president Viktor Yanukovych.
Manafort, who resigned as chairman of Donald Trump’s campaign Friday, has not been the focus of the probe, according to the law enforcement officials. The investigation is ongoing and prosecutors haven’t ruled anything out, the officials said.

Manafort’s resignation comes after multiple reports have raised questions about his work for pro-Russian forces in the Ukrainian government. Earlier this week, The New York Times reported that Manafort’s name appeared in a secret ledger used by the party of Viktor Yanukovych, the former president of Ukraine. The Associated Press reported Thursday night that a firm run by Manafort helped orchestrate a lobbying effort on behalf of Ukraine, but Manafort did not register as a foreign agent, which is required by federal law.

Rick Gates, Manafort’s deputy, remains on the campaign and will work at the campaign’s liaison to the Republican National Committee . It was Gates who personally worked with Washington lobbying firms to coordinate a campaign to promote Ukranian interests and pushed an effort to undermine sympathy for Yulia Tymoshenko, a rival of Yanukovych, the AP reported. Gates also did not register as a foreign agent.
