KILIMNIK MISLED PARTNER: Russian-intel linked operative falsely suggested he stopped working with MANAFORT before 2017 (yet they discussed Ukrainian polling in 2018) & wasn’t going to meet with Manafort at TRUMP’s inauguration, per wild SAM PATTEN account. wired.com/story/kostya-a…
This 1st-person account from SAM PATTEN, the GOP lobbyist who pleaded guilty to a FARA charge originated by MUELLER, is worth a read. It details his work with CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA, PAUL MANAFORT, RINAT AKHMETSHIN & most of all KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK, with whom he’s pictured here.
“I may never know for sure whether Kostya was or is a Russian agent,” Sam Patten writes. But he argues that US media have oversimplified things. “Just about every Russian who isn’t digging potatoes in Tver … probably has some tie to intelligence services” wired.com/story/kostya-a…
PAUL MANAFORT called his Russian-intel linked deputy KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK “a powerful little dude,” according to Sam Patten, who said the oligarchs who funded the Russia-aligned Ukrainian party for which they worked were deferential to Kilimnik. wired.com/story/kostya-a…
PAUL MANAFORT boasted of the Russia-aligned Ukrainian politicians & oligarchs for whom he worked: “they’ve come to see me as one of them,” according to Sam Patten’s account in @WIRED. wired.com/story/kostya-a…
@WIRED REVEALED: The oligarch who reimbursed $50k for an illegal purchase of TRUMP inauguration tix was VADIM NOVINSKY, per SAM PATTEN.

Novinsky was investigated for corruption charges related to efforts to boost Ukraine’s Russia-aligned ex-president YANUKOVYCH. wired.com/story/kostya-a…
@WIRED CONFIRMED: a VIP ticket to TRUMP's inaugural was purchased illegally for SERHIY LYOVOCHKIN, once a top aide to Ukrainian ex-president Yanukovych, reports SAM PATTEN, who arranged the purchase & attended an inaugural ball with Lyovochkin, as we reported. nytimes.com/2018/08/31/us/…
