•➤ MAR 2016: Manafort secretly meets with Assange; Russian GRU officers begin the email hack.
•➤ JUN 2016: WikiLeaks emails the GRU via an intermediary seeking the DNC material.
•➤ JUL 2016: Putin’s spies sent the documents to WikiLeaks as an encrypted attachment.

Recall, last week a court filing released in error suggested that the US Justice Department had secretly charged Julian Assange with a criminal offense.
#Maddow @Kris_Sacrebleu
FYI: Adam Waldman, US lobbyist for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska [who was offered private campaign briefings by his ex-business partner PAUL MANAFORT], visited Assange 9 times in 2017, including twice before Trump's inaugural & once right after.
#Maddow
Manafort’s acquaintance with Assange goes back to at least 2013, when Manafort was advising Ukraine's Putin-friendly president, Yanukovych, and running secret media "black ops" against Yanukovych’s political rival, Tymoshenko, whom they had jailed.

Leonid Teyf, a wealthy Russian national living in NC accused of money laundering and plotting a murder-for-hire, has ties to Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin ["Putin's chef"], who was indicted by Mueller election tampering.

NEW ––> Trump admin makes FALSE case for crisis at border, laying foundation for Trump to declare a PHONY national emergency to build his useless wall. [FIFY, @PhilipRucker]

If there's such a crisis, why didn't Trump use all of the money he was allotted for the wall last year?

To avoid questions, Mark Harris, GOP candidate at the center of NC's disputed 9th District race which is in limbo over voter fraud allegations [against Harris' campaign], ran out an emergency exit, set off the fire alarm, and then sped away in a waiting car. WTAF 😂
omg
My bad. Mark Harris, who's under investigation for unprecedented election fraud perpetrated by his campaign, didn't speed away in a waiting car tonight – that happened when he was fleeing from reporters last month too. omfg 😂

Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort held secret talks with Julian Assange inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and visited around the time he joined Trump’s campaign, the Guardian has been told. theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
Sources have said Manafort went to see Assange in 2013, 2015 and in spring 2016 – during the period when he was made a key figure in Trump’s push for the White House.
A separate internal document written by Ecuador’s Senain intelligence agency and seen by the Guardian lists “Paul Manaford [sic]” as one of several well-known guests. It also mentions “Russians”.

💥 Manafort held secret talks with Assange in Ecuadorian embassy - Exclusive: Trump ally met WikiLeaks founder months before emails hacked by Russia were published - Sources said Manafort visited Assange in 2013, 2015 & 2016, by @lukeharding1968 @yachay_dc
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
"Visitors normally register with embassy security guards and show their passports. Sources in Ecuador, however, say Manafort was not logged."
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
Per sources, Manafort has known Assange at least since late 2012 or 2013, when Manafort was working in Ukraine advising its Moscow-friendly president, Viktor Yanukovych. Manafort often flew from the US to Ukraine’s capital Kiev – sometimes through London.

holy hell. Paul Manafort held secret talks w/ Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy in London in late March 2016.

The month before (2/29/2016), he reached out to Trump via Tom Barrack to pitch himself as campaign chair. He was hired in March. Unpaid.
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
2/29/2016: Manafort pitches himself to Trump via Tom Barrack, writing in a memo "I really need to get to Trump."

March 2016:
-Manafort meets Barrack at Montage hotel in Beverly Hills; discussed joining Trump campaign
-Manafort secretly meets w/Assange
-Manafort hired (3/28/2016)
Roger Stone was the one who convinced Trump to hire Paul Manafort. The idea of hiring Manafort to work unpaid? That was Roger Stone's idea.

This took place at some point in March 2016. The same month Manafort met with Julian Assange.
