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.

#Manafort charging document for today's guilty plea includes details of his planting disinformation in US press to smear political rivals of his pro-Russia clients in Ukraine. Eg "Plant some stink on Tymo"—painting a female rival as a criminal who paid for murder. Sound familiar?
Manafort had used the same propaganda smear tactics in Ukraine that Trump rolled out in his campaign for president in 2016. Manafort not only had Tymo soliciting murder. He pushed tribal divisions, using "Obama Jews" & anti-Semitism to tarnish her. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4883…
#Manafort manipulated the media with disinformation and then used those planted news stories to manipulate US govt: "I have someone pushing it on the NY Post. Bada bing bada boom…The Jewish community will take this out on Obama on election day if he does nothing.”

Why would Serhiy Lyovochkin, who heads up a pro-Kremlin opposition party in Ukraine, funnel money into the Trump Inaugural? The answer may have to do with a peace plan designed as a fig leaf for the Trump administration to lift Russia sanctions. <THREAD> nytimes.com/2018/08/31/us/…
It's hard to believe Lyovochkin would make a covert donation to the Inaugural unless he was getting something in return. Curiously, at the time, Lyovochkin and another Ukrainian politician, Andriy Artmeneko, were reportedly working on a "peace plan." <2/7> unian.info/politics/17967…
The “peace plan” heavily favored Russia and envisaged a Ukrainian referendum on leasing Crimea to Russia for 100 years in return for the withdrawal of Russian support for its proxy fighters in Ukraine. It was a nonstarter from the very start. <3/7> nytimes.com/2017/02/22/opi…

💣🔥💥🍿🐾#SamPatten is a starter on this menu. A thread on #Trump #Putin #Collusion: from pop-singers in Taj Mahal to weapons in Syria, plus what Satan, black cats, soccer, Patriarchs & judo wrestling have in common. Tarantino, it is not. Oh, plus #CambridgeAnalytica. 👇
1. #SamPatten admitted failing to register in the U.S. as a foreign agent for his work lobbying on behalf of a Ukrainian political party. Breaking. 👇
2. "The nature of his cooperation isn’t clear." (Yes, but the connections are telling.👇 ) . Patten worked with Manafort and & on microtargeting operations with Cambridge Analytica.
