Dear Mr. Taplin:

I am hoping that you have read the following mainstream articles:

Please be Paul Revere. These exposes’ have been published since April. Connect the dots for the public. Manafort worked for Yanukovych for eight years and was paid for by Ukrainian/Russian oligarchs. There is

references to this also in the Panama Papers. Trumps policy positions seem to be directly related to Manafort’s clients (Putin?). Is Trump an unwitting Trojan Horse? You must have many intelligence sources. The Ukrainians? The Mossad (Manaforts connection to ISI). The French? (The Karachi Affair). All this comes from the above referenced articles. The factual outline is there. Connect the dots and you will be Paul Revere.

Respectfully,
