Yike. Paul Manafort intended for the Trump campaign's polling data to go to Serhiy Lyovochkin. Per the NYT in 2005, Lyovochkin was involved in the conspiracy to HACK ELECTRONIC ELECTION RESULTS in Ukraine's 2004 presidential election. 1/ archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.co…
2/ According to CNN, Serhiy Lyoyovochkin was one of two intended recipients of the polling data that Paul Manafort gave to Konstantin Kilimnik on August 2, 2016. cnn.com/2019/01/09/pol…
3/ According to the NYT piece in post 1, Viktor Medvedchuk (a key Putin ally) was also involved in the hacking of Ukraine's 2004 election. He, too, was reportedly in touch with the Trump campaign in 2016, though he denied it. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
4/ Medvedchuk reportedly also helped draft the pro-Moscow Ukraine "peace plan" that was hand delivered to Michael Flynn in 2017. ukrhotnews.com/2017/02/24/art…
5/ Both Flynn & Kilimnik (to whom Manafort gave the polling data for forwarding to Serhiy Lyovochkin) contacted me in 2019. Maybe it's nothing, but why me? Others write about this stuff more than I do. But I'm one of the only ones who focuses on election fraud. Contact was minor.
6/ But it was unsettling. Flynn just DMd me three question marks: ???. Maybe I'm not the only one. But I was really taken aback by it.
7/ Another source re: Medvedchuk's work on the pro-Putin Ukraine "peace plan" that was given to Michael Cohen and Michael Flynn. kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
8/ "Ukraine's prosecutor general announced Tuesday that the country's special forces were looking into whether a recent "peace plan" Medvedchuk proposed constituted treason." - 2/5/19 newsweek.com/ukraine-treaso…
9/ Jeez. A third Ukrainian involved in the hacking of Ukraine's 2004 presidential election (see post 1), Serhiy Kivalov, attended one of the Trump inauguration balls. Somehow he landed one of the "coveted tickets." nytimes.com/2019/01/10/us/…
10/ Interesting piece discussing both Medvedchuk's and Kivalov's connection to the election fraud in Ukraine's 2004 election. It says that Kivalov was chairman of Ukraine's Central Election Commission at that time. neweasterneurope.eu/2017/06/07/the…
11/ Oh "good." Serhiy Lyovochkin, the intended recipient of the Trump campaign's 2016 polling data (provided by Manafort), managed to score a ticket to the "Liberty Ball" celebrating Trump's inauguration too. nytimes.com/2019/01/10/us/…
12/ In January 2017, Manafort, Kilimnik and Lyovochkin (the intended recipient of the Trump campaign's 2016 polling data) met to discuss the pro-Russia "peace plan" for Ukraine. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
13/ "Immediately upon joining the Campaign, Manafort directed Gates to prepare for his reviewseparate memoranda addressed to Deripaska, Akhmetov, Serhiy Lyovochkin, and Boris Kolesnikov.." courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
16/ “The Senate Intelligence Committee report ... includes a section titled ‘Russian Activity Directed at Voting Machine Companies,’ which states that Russia also ‘scanned’ a ‘widely used vendor of [US] election systems’ before the 2016 election.” nybooks.com/daily/2019/12/…
19/ John Brennan told the author of Rigged that Russian hackers had the ability to change vote tallies in 2016.
20/ 8/2/16: Manafort handed off polling data to Kilimnik(who had met w/ Oleg Deripaska 5 hours prior). Several hours later, Deripaska’s plane landed near where Kilimnik & Manafort met.
8/6/16, Deripaska met w/ Putin’s fixer on a yacht. -via Alexey Navalny qz.com/1202800/alexey…
21/ About the August 2 meeting. It says that Manafort also asked that Kilimnik give the polling data to Deripaska. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_…
22/ About Deripaska’s private jet landing nearby and within hours of the August 2 cigar bar meeting where Manafort gave Kilimnik polling data to pass onto Deripaska. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_…
23/ “Navalny says he was originally skeptical of the idea that Deripaska was Manafort’s backchannel to Putin, but says in his video that Prikhodko is the man ‘who makes these decisions—there he is cruising on a yacht, & discussing politics w/ [Deripaska]’” qz.com/1202800/alexey…
24/ Remember who else was on that yacht on August 6, a mere 4 days after Manafort handed off the polling data? rferl.org/a/russia-mosco…
25/ Wow. Russia apparently made it illegal for Russians to access Navalny’s video about the August 6 “fishing trip.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Ed…
26/ This is the escort who was on the yacht. I knew about her & the yacht before. But I did not b4 realize the temporal proximity to the handing off of Trump campaign polling data on Aug 2. It sure seems likely the data made it to the “right” people. 😳vox.com/policy-and-pol…
27/ The man on the yacht with Deripaska on August 6 just died.
29/ “Navalny cited public records to suggest that Prikhodko spent several days on the yacht and was flown there by Deripaska's private jet.” rferl.org/a/former-russi…
33/ “Just before meeting Manafort in NY in early August, Kilimnik said in an email...that he had met with Deripaska for five hours in Moscow and that the oligarch had raised important issues about his ‘country’s future’ that they needed to discuss.” theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
34/ “Kilimnik used a jet owned by Deripaska for at least one leg of an oddly timed and brief trip to New York to meet Manafort in early August 2016, according to two sources familiar with congressional investigations.”
We may never know what happened to the polling data bc Manafort initially lied to Mueller about it & then claimed to have forgotten. Despite Manafort’s cooperation agreement w/ Mueller, he did NOT cooperate. Thus, Mueller couldn’t solve the mystery. 35/ theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
