Even as Trump was campaigned in '16 to 'drain the swamp,' he chose as campaign mgr Paul Manafort, who'd made millions as a global swamp creature for pro-Russia oligarchs, doing the work of Putin.

"ProRussian Ukrainian oligarchs with deep economic ties to Russia also paid Manafort tens of
millions of dollars and formed strong ties with Manafort...
Manafort hired and worked increasingly closely with a Russian national, Konstantin
Kilimnik...a Russian intelligence officer."

Kilimnik, the Russian intel agent, & Manafort "formed a close and
lasting relationship that endured to the 2016 US elections & beyond...throughout his
time on the [Trump] Campaign, Manafort directly & indirectly communicated with Kilimnik, Deripaska,
& the pro-Russian oligarchs..

The bipartisan Senate Intel Committee said it "was unable to reliably determine why Manafort shared sensitive internal polling data or [Trump] Campaign strategy with Kilimnik or with whom Kilimnik further shared that information."
Who would a pro-Putin intel officer share with?
Who would a pro-Putin intel officer share with?
Speaking of the GRU, successor to the Soviets' KGB, the Senate report said: "The Committee obtained some information suggesting Kilimnik may have been connected to the GRU's hack and leak operation targeting the 2016 U.S. election."
That's no hoax.
That's no hoax.
And the money quote:
"...Manafort's high level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the
Russian intelligence services, particularly Kilimnik and associates of Oleg Deripaska,
represented a grave counterintelligence threat" to the US
"...Manafort's high level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the

No hoax: "The Committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian
effort to hack computer networks & accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak
information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president...[&] help the
Trump Campaign"

As Trump campaigned ("Drain the swamp") fixer Michael Cohen updated him on negotiations in Russia for a Trump Tower. "Trump made positive public comments about Putin in connection with his
presidential campaign" & Cohen & another aide tried "to leverage" those to seal the deal.
