1/ A lot of excitement today that Mueller alleges Manafort lied about sharing polling data w/ his fixer in Ukraine, Konstantin Kilimnik (hereafter KK), a Russian national. A few thoughts:
2/ According to MSNBC analyst & Russiagate devotee Clint Watts: “This is the closest thing we have seen to collusion.” Wow, this must be big then! nyti.ms/2H0YLzj?smid=n…
3/ Wait, here’s one prob. Per NYT, “most of the data” — polling data that Manafort shares w/ his Russian associate — “was public.” And the rest was still just - polling data. And it was shared in the spring of 2016 — the earliest possible stages of Trump vs. Clinton campaign. 😱
4/ Mueller has vaguely & meekly claimed KK has “ties to Russian intelligence.” No further details. Per The Atlantic, “insinuations” that Kilimnik worked for Russian intelligence “were never backed by more than a smattering of circumstantial evidence.”
