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.

Putin’s Attack on the U.S. Is Our Pearl Harbor

Make no mistake: Hacking the 2016 election was an act of war. It’s time we responded accordingly.

Former CIA Dir John Brennan called Trump’s performance in Helinski "nothing short of treasonous."
💣OurPearlHarbor2💣

45 sold out his country to RU, then proudly affirmed it, live on camera.  

A former intel agency chief just asked, "If the RUs didn't write 45’s talking points, how could you tell?"

Trump called the US inv’n of the interference “a disaster for our country.”

Comey: This was the day an US POTUS stood on foreign soil next to a murderous lying thug and refused to back his own country. Patriots need to stand up and reject the behavior of this president.

Trump sides with Putin & GRU over US interests, our CIA & DOJ
