CORRECTION: Manafort told Kilimnik to pass TRUMP polling data not to Deripaska but to Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov & Serhiy Lyovochkin, who funneled $50K to Trump's inaugural & is business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss Mogilevich].

FYI: Rick Gates testified that between 2010-2013, former Yanukovych CoS Serhiy Lyovochkin funneled $42M to Paul Manafort. At the time, Lyovochkin was business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss, Semion Mogilevich].

In his plea deal, Sam Patten, US business partner of Konstantin Kilimnik [Russian GRU associate of Manafort & Gates] who worked for Cambridge Analytica in 2014, said a Ukranian oligarch [Serhiy Lyovochkin] funneled $50K into Trump's inaugural fund.

Trump campaign chair & deputy chair Paul Manafort & Rick Gates conspired with Russian GRU-linked Konstantin Kilimnik to pass internal polling data to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, whose private jet Kilimnik flew on to meet Manafort in AUG 2016.
#Maddow nyti.ms/2H0YLzj
In AUG 2016, after Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort's told him to share internal polling data with Putin ally Oleg Deripaska, Russian GRU-linked Kilimnik used Deripaska's jet to meet Manafort in NY – soon after he met with Deripaska in Moscow .
#Maddow
In SEP 2016, weeks after Kilimnik flew to NY on Oleg Deripaska's private jet to meet Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, Deripaska secretly met with Russia's deputy prime minister Prikhodko & briefed him on how to "solve the issue with America."

52 U.S. Code § 30121(a)(2): “It shall be unlawful for . . . a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation . . . from a foreign national.”

Merely ‘soliciting’ meets the test whether or not one rec’d a (contribution or donation is immaterial.

Parkland shooting suspect told police he heard a ‘demon’ telling him: ‘Burn. Kill. Destroy.’

The mounting damage of 45’s Trump Tower admission

His tweet about the purpose of the 6/16 meeting contradicts his earlier denials & could spell trouble for his son & him

LB:”To be clear, when Gates says he embezzled from Manafort, what he's actually admitting to is embezzling from the Russian mafia.”

Rick Gates admits on stand he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from Manafort, ergo an admission he stole from the RU mob.

What can we expect this week in Paul Manafort's trial? Mueller's office says they're on track to finish their case in chief this week. We've heard from 14 witnesses so far. Assuming the govt still plans to have former Manafort associate Rick Gates testify, that'll be big.
Here's the govt's witness list: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4637… It has 35 names, but there's no guarantee we'll hear from all of them. New filing today from the govt says they intend to have at least one FBI forensic accountant read Manafort emails in court assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4637…
