Tonight @maddow ran a segment about the Paul Manafort defense fund and its completely anonymous website. It isn't anonymous anymore. I have receipts.
A little background: The website was registered with GoDaddy in December 2017. The registrant used a proxy to mask who was behind the website. However, when using GoDaddy, it is required to provide your info to the domain-hosting website. I have that original filing.
Manafort's real estate lawyer Bruce Baldinger set up the Paul Manafort defense fund website. Some of Baldinger's activities for Manafort are... under investigation by the FBI.
In February, we learned that Mueller was investigating if Manafort promised a banker a White House job in return for loans. One of the loans he took out was delivered to a shell company called SummerBreeze LLC. SummerBreeze LLC was set up and managed by Bruce Baldinger.
Manafort/banker story, with a mention of SummerBreeze LLC: nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
I was going to write an actual article with this info but I'm done with school in 15 days and I don't want to fail now! Hope the tweets are enough.

In perhaps the strongest evidence that Russia is fighting the Mueller subpoena, the law firm that is representing the mystery company, Alston & Bird, was previously hired by the Russian government: prweek.com/article/127315…
So as recent as 2013, Alston & Bird was working for the Russian government. Not many law firms do that. nbcnews.com/storyline/ukra…
Make that 2014

She’s married to your brother, my dude.
She also happens to be really kind and caring and has a super successful acting career.

August: Manafort meets with Kilimnik (who flew on Deripaska's plane) and shares polling data with the Russian intel asset.
Pre-November: Manafort tells Trump to focus on Michigan and Wisconsin.
I'm really curious as to how Mueller knows about the polling data. As far as we know, there were 2 people in the room: Manafort and Kilimnik. Neither is cooperating...
THE DAY AFTER that Manafort met with Kilimnik and shared polling data (Aug 2, 2016), @DonaldJTrumpJr, Erik Prince, and George Nader met with Joel Zamel of Psy Group and discussed social media manipulation at Trump Tower.
