Why this is BIG... Sam Patten (my #CambridgeAnalytica interviewee who worked on US campaigns in lead-up to Trump/close Manafort associate) is suspected of US based polling on attitudes to Putin for #CambridgeAnalytica washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is… was that the polling given 2 Kilimnik?
My initial evidence to parliament including essays and audio from my interviews with Sam Patten parliament.uk/business/commi…
This is also useful reading on Sam Patten from @emptywheel emptywheel.net/2018/08/31/amo…
Also see: nytimes.com/2018/08/31/us/…
Final Tweet in Thread. The claim about Patten working on polling on attitudes to Putin is in the @emptywheel piece above. Wylie needs to provide more information about this somehow if he can, it's important it's verified.
@emptywheel And here's the filing

'Information unearthed by Emma Briant, a British academic, revealed Bannon's name was on Brexit-related corporate emails dating to October 2015, when he was a vice president of Cambridge Analytica.' amp.usatoday.com/amp/2200098002…
'Like in the U.S., British law prohibits foreign contributions to political campaigns. Bannon did not respond to a question on whether he ever worked for Brexit campaigners'. New mention in @USATODAY amp.usatoday.com/amp/2200098002…

The Manafort filing has been released. It is largely redacted, which is interesting. Read the article..My takeaway from both filings today is that Mueller is closing in, but that he's far from finished. #FridayFeeling

2-"What Manafort knows
The details of what happened during Manafort's cooperation interviews with the special counsel have been one of the most intensely pursued questions of the Russia probe -- from what Manafort knows, to what happened in recent weeks. Even President Donald

#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.”

#Putin starts with rare words in English to "Donald": Ok, Shall we start? Then says a new era of cooperation is at hand. "There's no reason US-Russia relations should be complicated. On 'so-called' interference, the Russian state has never interfered in US election & never will"
Trump just slammed "obstructive" Democrats and the press in prepared remarks at press conference with Putin at #HelsinkiSummit
Q: This morning you blamed the US. Do you blame Russia for anything?
Trump: Yes, I blame both countries. Mueller probe is ridiculous. There was no collusion. There was nobody to collude w.

So Trump uses false equivalence to let Russia off the hook for attacking his own country😡

Meet Sam Patten, former #CambridgeAnalytica operative who teamed up with accused Russian intel asset, Konstantin Kilimnik. In 2014, #AggregateIQ built RIPON for SCL Elections Ltd. AIQ is now suspended by Facebook. thedailybeast.com/accused-russia… via @dcpoll
Go deep on Patten with @NatashaBertrand #CambridgeAnalytica theatlantic.com/amp/article/55…
Of course @carolecadwalla covered Patton’s role in Nigeria election black ops, with (now suspended) #AggregateIQ it turns out. The Oregon office of #CambridgeAnalytica would be conveniently close to Victoria, B.C., just saying.
