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"

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Excited to share my first piece in 18 months and in @ForeignPolicy, co-authored w/ Simon Miles, an assistant professor @DukeSanford, completing a book on US-Soviet relations during the early 1980s based on new Eastern bloc archival sources. 1/ foreignpolicy.com/2018/10/30/wha…
Context: @mike_giglio had an excellent piece last month on how the #Trump admin may be executing a strategy of "maximum pressure" against #Iran, partly inspired by the book "Victory" & its claim that Reagan used this strategy to defeat the Soviet Union. 2/ buzzfeednews.com/article/mikegi…
There's only one problem: "Victory" is not good history, to put it politely. The most basic critique is that the author didn't have access to US & Soviet archives when the book was published in 1994. You can find much harsher academic critiques online. 3/ amazon.com/dp/0871136333/…

🔥They thought they could silence a journalist by cutting off his fingers that he used to write. They sent us a message that if we persist, they will resort to sadistic torture and murder to silence us. And yet, Khashoggi’s words are still here, his voice louder with each hour...
🔥Please follow @oamaz7 ‼️Omar Abdulaziz was working with Khashoggi on some secret projects that Saudi spyware uncovered this Summer. It looks like Assiri informed Salman and a plan to silence both of them was made🔥

-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
