Robby Mook, Hillary campaign manager, stated on CNN today that experts have reported to them, Russian state actors are responsible for hacking into the DNC emails and it’s no coincidence that this occurred on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.
This information raises grave concerns in context of the fact Trump has long standing relationships with Russian oligarchs, one of his biggest investors. The new evidence suggests that Russian state actors are actively working to help elect Donald Trump as President. When this is viewed in conjunction with Trump’s recent statements on NATO and his changes to the Republican platform, a picture is beginning to emerge about a potential deal being struck between Trump and Putin.
The terms of this deal may involve Putin’s goal to retake the Baltic states which he began with the military invasion of Ukraine; this was possible only because Ukraine was not a NATO ally. Trump has already signaled that he may not honor the NATO agreement to defend states under the treaty which helps to pave the way for Putin to retake the Baltic states.
While many unknowns remain, this information amplifies the urgency for more transparency from Trump.
American voters have the right to know what Trump’s financial ties to Russia are so they can evaluate what influence they may have.
Voters deserve full disclosure from Trump which would include his Tax Returns and Personal Financial Statement.
