This clip bears repeating:
Booker: "Polling data was shared, sir."
Barr: "With who?"
Manafort to Kilimnik!!
Barr did not read the report. This fact is in the *executive summary* on page 6!
(See screenshot next).
(And sorry to be pedantic, but it's "with whom.")

2/ Mueller Executive Summary, Vol. 1, PAGE 6:
"Months before that meeting, Manafort had caused internal polling data to be shared with Kilimnik, and the sharing continued for some period of time after their August meeting."

3/ Mueller Executive Summary, Charging Decisions Section, p. 9:
DC District Court found "Manafort lied to the Office and the grand jury concerning his interactions and communications with Konstantin Kilimnik about Trump Campaign polling data and a peace plan for Ukraine."

4/ Vol. I, p. 129, the *introduction* on Manafort's conduct.
The basic introduction!
Kilimnik: "the FBI assesses to have ties to Russian intelligence."
"Manafort instructed Rick Gates... to provide Kilimnik with updates on the Trump Campaign-including internal polling data."

5/ Vol I, p. 135: "Gates believed Manafort sent polling data to Deripaska."

6/ Vol. I, p. 136. More internal polling data for Kilimnik.

7/ p. 140, clear signs of illegal coordination w/ foreign govt:
"Manafort briefed Kilimnik on...plan to win the election... the Campaign's messaging and its internal polling data...included discussion of "battleground" states... Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota."

8/ I discussed these facts - and evidence that they knew Kilimnik was a Russian spy - in my @nytimes op-ed a week ago as a preponderance of evidence of illegal coordination w/ Russia. More Mueller Report screenshots:

9/ "Gates suspected that Kilimnik was a “spy,” a view that he shared with Mr. Manafort. For months, Manafort informed Kilimnik about the campaign through internal polling data, even pointing out that Wisc, Penn., Mich. and Minn. were target states." nytimes.com/2019/04/25/opi…
