The FBI briefed Trump, including about Russia, on August 17, 2016. By then, it had been public knowledge for almost three weeks that Russia was trying to meddle in the election—to which Trump had responded by suggesting Russia hack into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
On October 7—the day of the “Access Hollywood” tape and the first Podesta Emails release—the intel community officially announced that the Kremlin directed the hacks. Trump still cited WikiLeaks 164 more times—five per day—for the rest of the election.

Trump got a private briefing on the intel community’s Russia report on January 6, 2017. In just the two weeks between that and Trump’s inauguration, there were three more meetings between his team and Russia. themoscowproject.org/explainers/tru…

According to the New York Times, both Paul Manafort and Rick Gates provided polling data—including some prepared privately for the campaign—to Konstantin Kilimnik, with instructions to pass it along to Oleg Deripaska.
nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/…
UPDATE: The New York Times has issued a correction stating that Manafort asked Kilimnik to pass the information to the Ukrainian politician Serhiy Lyovochkin and oligrach Rinat Akhmetov, not Deripaska.
Both have played significant roles in the Russia scandal already: Akhmetov, a ruthless mining magnate with ties to organized crime, initially brought Manafort to Ukraine in the 2000s and funded his work for pro-Kremlin politicians there ... themoscowproject.org/explainers/eve…

Improper redaction by Manafort's legal team reveals that Mueller has alleged that Manafort shared polling data related to the 2016 election with Konstantin Kilimnik, then lied about it to investigators
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
The text, which can be read by copying the text underneath redactions on page 6, claims Manafort didn't lie about "sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign" but merely did not remember it during proffer sessions.
Trump and Kilimnik, whom Mueller's team has alleged had ongoing ties to Russian intelligence during the election, also allegedly met in Madrid, although the documents do not specify when the alleged meeting took place.

A newly published memo shows that, along with their efforts in Montenegro, Paul Manafort and Oleg Deripaska also worked to sway elections in Cyprus.
documentcloud.org/documents/4954…
According to @kenvogel, the first to post the document, KC refers to Kypros Chrysostomides, a Cypriot politician who also helped facilitate Manafort's under-the-table payments from pro-Kremlin Ukrainians:
Cyprus has historically been a favorite tax haven for Russian money launderers—often through a bank that once counted Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross as a board member, and the Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev one of its biggest shareholders.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Trump may be an intellectual moron, but he's a helluva puppet. He discredits rule-of-law democracy, divides us from allies, AND 2yrs after Russia's info warfare disrupted & shockingly tipped our election, the puppet STILL pushes Putin's big gaslight lie—none of it ever happened.
🚨Trump continues to advance Russian interests—NOT ours: Y'day, he pushed Putin's lie that Russia didn't "meddle." (Even GOP Senate Intel Cmte concluded Russia attacked our democracy to rig the election for Trump.) Today, Trump again floats Russia's claim to Crimea is negotiable.
MORE SHOCKING gifts to Putin: Trump orders Pentagon to analyze costs of withdrawing American troops from Germany—the only bulwark against a potential further Russian invasion of Europe. This during the height of #Russia's malign activity around the world. #maddow #inners
