Trump hired known dirty operative Paul Manafort in March 2016. Manafort became Campaign Chair/Chief Strategist in May, Campaign Manager in June. By June M had met w/ Assange & Russians at Trump Tower about dirt. Trump loved Wikileaks dirt, joining a Russian conspiracy against US. 
Manafort worked for years for Putin-linked oligarchs in Russia's interests. That's why his hiring by Trump lit hair on fire. And why former MI6 officer Steele's dossier putting Manafort at the center of "an extensive conspiracy" b/t TRUMP campaign team & Russia rang so damn true.
Q: Does WH stand by claim Trump campaign had no dealings with Russia given today’s @Guardian report on Manafort meeting with Assange?
Sarah Huckabee Sanders defends only Trump: “I remain confident in WH assertion that the President was involved in no wrongdoing…any collusion.”

@guardian In the avalanche of news in the Russia investigation, don't miss this👇@kenvogel scoop about Manafort flying to Ecuador in 2017 to broker a deal to handover Assange. It confirms part of last week's bombshell @Guardian report from @lukeharding1968 (cited at the top of this thread)
