Jennifer Rubin: From Russia with love - and cash

For months news reports have documented the Russian connection to Donald Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort and other Trump advisers. Manafort's five-year consulting engagement by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, the Russia puppet and corrupt oligarch, has come under scrutiny in light of Trump's invitation for Russia to hack the Democratic National Committee, his criticism of NATO and his expressed admiration for Putin. These concerns heightened as Trump has continued to express admiration for and desire to get closer to an aggressive adversary of the United States and when Manafort, according to multiple sources, lied in denying that the campaign influenced the Republican National Committee platform committee to drop support for defensive weapons for Ukraine.
