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"

 First some qualifications. I am first and foremost a financial economist, and by nature and study, fiscally conservative. Most finance academics are.

I care deeply about fiscal and monetary policy, but not obtuse enough to believe my opinion is always right

What makes the country great is our ability to disagree passionately about a wide array of subjects but find a working common ground.

I try to refrain from many political topics, especially on this platform, because, what can be accomplished debating on @Twitter

Honestly, it's really this simple.

Semion Mogilevich's Russian mob associates lived in & laundered money through Trump properties. Mogilevich lives openly near the Kremlin to this day. With Putin's protection & blessing.

Argue about the details if you want. This part is easy.
Part of the reason I spend so much time on trolls and disinformation is because it really is this simple.

Why don't people get this already?

Because there are certain groups on the right AND left that are committed to the general public *not* getting it. They deserve sunlight.
Keep fighting back, peeps. We're gonna win, but it'll take time.

💥#MichaelCohen ⚡️⚡️⚡️🥁 Thread on Michael #Cohen’s (aka Michael Hastings) ties with the USSR-born oligarchs, criminals, politicians. Missing/overlooked links plus Russian/Ukrainian sources. #CohenRaid #CohenFBIRaid #CohenRaids #MichaelCohenRaid
Note: A common misconception: Most of Cohen's USSR-born associates are Russian speakers of pro-Russian view. Emigrated in 70-80s when Ukraine was a part of the USSR. Referring to them as “Ukrainians” is misleading. Ukraine is under a hybrid war attack by Russia.
1. Cohen partnered with USSR-born “taxi kings” with a history of felony, fraud, tax evasion and some known for ties with the Kremlin circles.
