Both Paul Manafort & Rick Gates gave data to Konstantin Kilimnik in the spring 2016 - some data was developed by a private polling firm working for the campaign - Manafort asked Gates to tell Kilimnik to pass the data to Oleg Deripaska, HT @painter_nancy nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/…
Manafort and Gates passed polling data to Kilimnik to be sent to Putin ally Oleg Deripaska

Kilimnik also worked with Sam Patten who consulted for Cambridge Analytica

One of the services provided by Cambridge Analytica was polling
While the identity of the polling company is not known, here's how Cambridge Analytica described their work for the Trump campaign:

"The research team had a huge responsibility in organizing campaigns and polling voters in 17 states across the country."

Manafort may have shared US campaign polling data w/Kilimnik

Manafort filing is not properly redacted & one section mentions:

"the Government’s allegation that Mr. Manafort lied about sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign."
Kilimnik not only worked with Manafort, he also formed a company in 2015 with Sam Patten, who was a contractor for Cambridge Analytica

There's no evidence Kilimnik worked with Cambridge Analytica, but why would Kilimnik review US election polling data?...
Another redacted section of the filing notes "Manafort “conceded” that he discussed or may have discussed a Ukraine peace plan with Mr. Kilimnik on more than one occasion"

NEW: Mueller's Trump-Russia investigation about to explode on @nigel_farage's doorstep. A leak from a draft legal doc indicates his associate Ted Malloch was told by key Trump advisor, Roger Stone, to "get to Assange" & "get the pending Wikileaks" emails

theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
This looks very significant. The email was sent from InfoWars' Jerome Corsi to Malloch, an American academic, who is based in London. Where does @nigel_farage fit in? Well, he's right in the middle of this tight little web...
On Sunday, @ObserverUK set out key new details about a key meeting @nigel_farage had on a key date with key people. Dinner with Roger Stone, days before Wikileaks released the DNC emails. Also present: Jerome Corsi's boss, Alex Jones

Manafort needs to be understood as a symptom of a global epidemic of kleptocracy—a ‘Russian’ virus that he imported into the United States.

@20committee told us TWO yrs ago Manafort’s sidekick was RU GRU agent Konstantin Kilimnik, spent a decade advising Yanukovych, lobbied for Pakistan’s ISI, & was a hired ‘fixer’ for rebels in Angola, Ferdinand Marcos, and Zaire’s dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.

Many of those who worked directly with him claim that Wilbur Ross wrongly siphoned or outright stole more than $120 million. If even half of the accusations are legitimate, the current United States secretary of commerce could rank among the biggest grifters in American history.
Those who’ve done business with Ross generally tell a consistent story, of a man obsessed with money and untethered to facts. “He’s a pathological liar,” says one of Ross’ former colleagues.
