Michael Cohen, Lanny Davis and the Russian Mafia - President Trump’s former fixer may not be the most notorious client of power lawyer Lanny Davis at this moment - he's also the registered foreign agent for Dmitry Firtash, by @seth_hettena rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Davis is not exactly advertising the fact that he represents Firtash, a man described by prosecutors as an “upper-echelon” associate of Russian organized crime who has acknowledged ties to Semion Mogilevich - on Davis' website Firtash’s name is absent.

Until this article & coverage from many twitter citizen journalists - Firtash wasn’t mentioned in most coverage Davis received after Cohen pleaded guilty - Washington Post called Davis “ultimate Clinton loyalist” Esquire called him the “da Vinci of spin”

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"
