An interesting new detail is that another entity was identified - Heartland Payment Systems, a payments processor based in Princeton - made 75 (out of 3500 DNS queries) for the Trump domain & its parent company Global Payments is affiliated with Alfa Bank

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"

I’ve run for Congress and worked on several of my husband’s campaigns. INTERNAL poll data are closely guarded.

Yet Trump’s highly experienced campaign chair (Manafort) willfully gave this VERY sensitive info to a #Russian🇷🇺spy (Kilimnik) with #GRU👉🏼hacked the #DNC.

@thespybrief
If the #Russians🇷🇺 stole @HillaryClinton’s voter file AND had @realDonaldTrump’s internal polling data, they would know which voters to target with specific messages.
Add in the stolen #Facebook and other data, plus Trump’s voter file, and #Russia🇷🇺and others (PsyGroup, Cambridge Analytica, etc) literally would have EVERYTHING needed to microtarget voters very specifically and highly effectively.🤨

🔥IMPEACH🔥

THREAD: the filings by Mueller and SDNY on Cohen are BIGLY bad news for @realDonaldTrump and his spawn, Don Jr, Kremlin🇷🇺Barbie, and Eric and *clearly* indicate that Trump is an UNINDICTED co-conspirator.

And then, there's the Manafort memo... 1/

#TrumpRussia
First, SDNY makes it clear that Cohen does *not* have a formal cooperation agreement **with them** (but stay tuned on this front later...). As such, SDNY asks the Court to a "substantial term of imprisonment."🤔 2/
SDNY *nails* Cohen for 4 federal felonies to which he pleaded GUILTY: tax evasion, making false statements to a bank, illegal campaign contributions, and making false statements to Congress. 3/

‘Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign?’

newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
‘(Camp) noted that Cambridge Analytica, which was working for the Trump campaign, took millions of personal records from Facebook. In Camp’s scenario, these could have been transferred to the Russian government, to help guide its targeting of American voters before the election.’
‘Cendyn might have records of any outgoing communications sent by the Trump Organization. But the request for further investigation is unlikely to proceed as long as Republicans hold the majority.’
