CORRECTION: Manafort told Kilimnik to pass TRUMP polling data not to Deripaska but to Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov & Serhiy Lyovochkin, who funneled $50K to Trump's inaugural & is business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss Mogilevich].

FYI: Rick Gates testified that between 2010-2013, former Yanukovych CoS Serhiy Lyovochkin funneled $42M to Paul Manafort. At the time, Lyovochkin was business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss, Semion Mogilevich].

In his plea deal, Sam Patten, US business partner of Konstantin Kilimnik [Russian GRU associate of Manafort & Gates] who worked for Cambridge Analytica in 2014, said a Ukranian oligarch [Serhiy Lyovochkin] funneled $50K into Trump's inaugural fund.

Russian GRU-linked Konstantin Kilimnik was under FBI scrutiny in 2016 because of 2+ trips he took to the US during the campaign and his comments suggesting he played a role in the pro-Russia change to the GOP platform on Ukraine during the RNC.

Russian GRU-linked Kilimnik & Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort's Ukraine "peace plan" called for Yanukovych returning to Ukraine from Russia. Lyovochkin, to whom Manafort told Kilimnik to pass Trump polling data, was Yanukovych's chief of staff.

Then-president Yanukovych’s chief of staff Lyovochkin [to whom Manafort told Kilimnik to pass Trump polling data] was involved in Manafort's secret media “black ops” in Ukraine, which included smears against Hillary Clinton dating back to 2011.

Manafort & Gates gave 'internal Trump polling data' to Russian GRU Kilimnik in spring 2016 as Trump clinched the GOP nomination. Per @NicolleDWallace, once a candidate becomes the GOP nominee, they receive the 'RNC voter file,' an incredibly detailed cache of voter info.

When Manafort worked for Trump's campaign, Russia was engaged in a full-fledged social media operation to boost Trump & attack Clinton. Polling data [or the RNC file] could have helped them target audiences & hone messages to swing votes to Trump.

Sam Patten, business partner of Russian GRU Kilimnik, worked for Cambridge Analytica in 2014 and in 2015, began working for Serhiy Lyovochkin, to whom Manafort told Kilimnik to pass Trump polling data and who funneled $50K to Trump inaugural fund.

FYI: Mueller has evidence that Kilimnik's ties to Russian intelligence were active throughout 2016 [evidence which he filed under seal] so Manafort passing polling data to Kilimnik =⫸⫸ the Trump campaign conspiring with Russia intelligence.

Tony Fabrizio, who spoke with Mueller in Feb 2018, was brought on to Trump's campaign in spring 2016 by Manafort. Fabrizio worked in Ukraine with Manafort and Kilimnik in 2012 & 2013, helping to elect a pro-Putin presidential candidate, Yanukovych.
