(58,785 posts)campaign of Yanukovych, and that not only did that campaign use the "lock her up" slogan against his female opponent Yulia Tymoshenko, but in Ukraine Yanukovych was actually able to imprison his "Hillary" after he was elected.
Let's make a couple things perfectly clear
1. Neither Obama nor Hillary had anyone in their campaigns who worked for that Ukrainian criminal/ally of Putin on this filthy campaign.
2. Sanders did. This created a highly questionable connection between his campaign and Manafort, who has very close links to the Kremlin, and between the Sanders and Trump campaigns, both of which were assisted by Russia's interference in our elections.
The NYT and Washington Post, to name just two top investigative sources, are reporting on the tactics Yanukovych's campaign used, you know. Most focus is on Manafort, but Tad Devine was working on that campaign also. The NYT published an email from Devine to the campaign suggesting he be paid $10,000 a day.
You could have easily found this and more information published recently in the U.S.. Plus, of course far more details on the dirty campaign tactics are available from reports closer in time and space to that election. Please post any you find that separate the two men. Perhaps Devine protested Manafort's tactics in meetings and was overruled, for instance. Perhaps he quit in protest and returned to the U.S., leaving the others to promote imprisoning an innocent woman for the crime of running for office.
