Team🇺🇸Mueller filed a “Sentencing Memorandum” in the van der Zwaan case👉🏼states that Gates had said he knew “Person A” was a “former” officer w/#Russian🇷🇺military intelligence (GRU).🤨

As Putin said: “there are no FORMER chekists.”🙄 3/

“Person A” is Konstantin KILIMNIK, a “former” GRU officer and longtime associate of Manafort and Gates in the Ukraine, who also is close to #Russian🇷🇺oligarch, Oleg Deripaska‼️🤨 4/

Manafort was in FREQUENT contact w/#Russian🇷🇺Intel officer Kilimnik WHILE RUNNING Trump’s campaign👉🏼met *in person* in May’16 & in Aug’16.🤨

Manafort’s spokesman said in June that Manafort’s interactions w/Kilimnik were “perfectly permissible.”🙄

NOT‼️6/

#TrumpRussia

In Jul’16, WikiLeaks released the stolen DNC emails that had been HACKED by #Russia🇷🇺.

The next month during their Aug’16 meeting, Manafort & Kilimnik discussed Trump’s ongoing campaign, including the hacked DNC emails.🤨 7/

PS: to be clear, #Russian🇷🇺agent Kilimnik was NOT just a “random” contact. Kilimnik worked for Manafort and Gates in the Ukraine for *over 10 years*‼️

And Mueller now has receipts, courtesy of Gates and van der Zwaan, of Kilimnik’s role in #TrumpRussia🇷🇺‼️
