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

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"

Manafort flipped. This is the "statement of the offenses" in which Manafort confesses to doing the crimes...

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4883…
This first count #Manafort admits to is violation of 18 USC § 371, "Conspiracy Against the United States."

What does that mean? He conspired to commit a crime against the US or to defraud the US:
A conspiracy, definitionally, requires more than one conspirator. Who did Manafort conspire with? The first paragraph dealing with Count 1 names Richard Gates and Konstantin Kilimnik "and others"

#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.

🔥BREAKING NEWS🔥Why did Lindsay Graham have a 180* turn after golfing w Trump⁉️His campaign manager, Christian Ferry, was working w Davis-Manafort on Deripaska deal and his name was on a document found in in Manafort’s raid ‼️It’s likely Graham is involved and is scared 😱👇
💥Christian Ferry, who worked for Deripaska, Yanukovych and Manafort was Graham’s campaign manager for his brief 2016 Presidential run. What is Graham hiding⁉️
🎯Kilimnik, Russian spy, was also on the document... It is safe to say that Lindsey Graham has a few emails hacked by Russia that implicate him and I bet Trump informed him of it when they golfed together. He flipped that day🎯 motherjones.com/politics/2008/…
