@aaronjmate What would it matter if Manafort gave Kilimnik "campaign data" whatever the hell that is? It isn't a national security secret, it is "campaign stuff." The campaign was Manafort's new assignment since he failed to move the Yanukovych in Ukraine toward EU and NATO, after using...
@aaronjmate ...his influence on behalf of the State Department and CIA to do so (in order to hold off FBI/DOJ investigations of his white collar crimes) which was his previous assignment. So, he talks about his new gig with Kilimnik, the important Ukrainian source for the Obama...
@aaronjmate ...Administration, whom Manafort introduced to the US Embassy personnel in Kiev which launched Kilimnik's work trading "information" with State Department and CIA personnel in the Embassy there. Manafort knows Kilimnik, so he talks shop with him. Manafort has no access...
@aaronjmate ...to actual NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION that Kilimnik can give to Putin. The people who have that are the Obama Administration people who "trade information" with Kilimnik. All Manafort tells him his Trump campaign stuff like poll results that Putin could get on...
@aaronjmate ...the Internet and is the property of THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, not the United States Government. It is NOT ILLEGAL to talk about such things with a Russian or any other foreigner. It is not classified information of the USGOV bearing on NATIONAL SECURITY...
@aaronjmate It is Kilimnik's tete-a-tete's with Obama's diplomats and the CIA Station Chief and minions at the Kiev Embassy that should attract the attention of US Counterintelligence. Just how trusted a "trusted source" to the Embassy people WAS Kilimnik, and what was Manafort's....
@aaronjmate relationship with the Embassy people since Manafort introduced Kilimnik to them. Did Tony Podesta vouch for Manafort with Obama and the DNC, or did the CIA vouch for Manafort?
@aaronjmate Just how did the "information exchanges" work between Foreign Service Officers and CIA agents and Kilimnik work at the US Embassy in Kiev? Did CIA people give up a lot for chickenfeed from Kilimnik? Or was Kilimnik's information solid gold? Were we damaged in the...
@aaronjmate ...exchanges? Manafort had nothing of national security importance unless Kilimnik knew about Manafort manipulating Ukraine's President in favor of DC's policy preferences on State and CIA's behalf. The diplomats and CIA personnel did have access to that kind of information.
@aaronjmate Now, Manafort and Kilimnik are running over the US Embassy in Kiev on a regular basis. Who do you think was watching that? Why the hell would those two be going over there that often when they were working for Viktor Yanukovych? Who has that many passport problems?
@aaronjmate If you are a Russian spy in Kiev, monitoring Embassy traffic and taking photos, you only have one logical explanation---Manafort and Kilimnik are being DEBRIEFED BY US INTELLIGENCE IN THE EMBASSY.
@aaronjmate Guys being debriefed that much are---Wait for it----Assets of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Thanks to the MSM for bringing up Kilimnik since that cements my "assessment" of Manafort as CIA asset.
@aaronjmate Since there is so much pearl clutching about "campaign data" and "sensitive" poll data in regards to helping Russia and Putin, how about this operation to bring the Russian military-industrial complex into the 21st Century?
@aaronjmate So now that we know the Obama/Clinton State Department was not all that hostile toward Moscow, maybe we should take another look at what role Kilimnik was playing in the Manafort Affair.
@aaronjmate Was Kilimnik part of a two-way back channel between Washington and Moscow at this time? Is that out of the question as a possible explanation? Not really, but it isn't the only possibility.
@philllosoraptor@JackPosobiec Actually, the do not have a good case against him since he did not perform any of the acts that the statute defines as violations. When investigating in the early stages, the agent has to match the elements of the crime to the conditional statements (IF-THEN-ELSE logic).
@philllosoraptor@JackPosobiec When reading the statute, 18 USC 241, we see that ONE of the following acts must be performed:
Injure OR
oppress OR
threaten OR
Intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege
@philllosoraptor@JackPosobiec secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; OR
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway OR
The real story of QAnon starts almost exactly one year before Q's first "drop" on 4 Chan. In late October 2016, Steve Pieczenik, former PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE EXPERT with the CIA and the State Department, put out a You Tube video in which he claimed...
...of having launched a "countercoup" against Hillary and Bill Clinton with the help of a secret group in intelligence and the military to prevent the Clintons from stealing the 2016 election. Pieczenik described how his group was allied with JULIAN ASSANGE to use the DNC...
..and Podesta emails to foil this plot by Bill and Hillary Clinton.
This story is a variant of two opposing stories in the saga of the 2016 election that dominated news and politics for the past 4 years--The QAnon story and the Trump-Russia-Wikileaks story...
@franifio How did Putin get Trump nominated? Trump had to get nominated for Putin to get him elected. Your answer must include evidence, including documents, testimony, and other forms of evidence as defined in the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure, The Rules of Evidence.
@franifio I have the answer to how Trump got nominated, and the evidence, which is considerable. Putin had nothing to do with it.
@franifio Here we go---First, Hillary asked her friends in the media to "elevate" Trump as she wanted to run against him.
@RichHiggins_DC The problem is there are votes just for President totaling 92,179 as opposed to the candidates for Member of Congress (MC). If the Democrat candidate for MC and the GOP for MC had split the difference, there wouldn't be an issue.
@RichHiggins_DC This reflects electronic votes or paper ballots with votes only for President, and not for MC. Those votes went to Biden. That is clear by the numbers. This needs explained. See, if votes went to the MC candidates in that quantity, that would cover it. These votes only...
@MariaBartiromo The system used in Arizona's voting sounds a lot like the one we used in Venango County, Pennsylvania. If the ballot is good, and you removed your ballot stub, the votes are scanned in and the ballot is RETAINED by the machine.
This means you have an electronic tabulation of each individual vote, which is likely tagged by ballot number, mine was 15. You have controls like total votes by candidate, total votes for all candidates (hash totals) that can be matched by the darkened circles on the ballots.
The number of each ballot is also tagged to the voter's name, which means in a recount, your vote might no longer be secret, but anyone auditing the results could have the option of contacting voters directly to ask about ballot numbers and if they voted at all.
@Beer_Parade@JimStarkey16@Barnes_Law The point I tried to make in my earlier post to @Barnes_Law was that it was significant that the Q channels were deplatformed by You Tube just before the election. My reasoning was that the whole Q Legend does not work without Trump as President.
@Beer_Parade@JimStarkey16@Barnes_Law As the Legend (which is intelligence speak for false biography to provide a cover to an operative) of Q goes, Q heads up a secret group in intel and military working with Trump to apprehend (during "The Storm") the cabal trying to take over the world.
