Yes, Manafort Colluded with Russian Intelligence Operative

Mueller could not have been more clear. Yes, Trump's campaign worked with a known Russian intelligence operative.



"Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort met in New York City with his long-time business associate Konstantin Kilimnik, who the FBI assesses to have ties to Russian intelligence . " - Vol. I; Pg. 6

"Manafort briefed Kilimnik on the state of the Trump Campaign and Manafort's plan to win the election. That briefing encompassed the Campaign's messaging and its internal polling data.  According to Gates, it also included discussion of "battleground" states, which Manafort identified as Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota." - Mueller Report; Vol. I; page 138

When the campaign manager sits down with Russian intelligence to discuss the campaign, the plan, the polling, and the targeted states, that's collusion.

______________



Russian intelligence operative Konstantin Kilimnik is mentioned 155 times in the Mueller report on Trump's collusion with Russians.



Guess how many times he was mentioned in the FBI report on Hillary's emails?



Did you guess ''zero''?



Smart thinking.

Manafort Met with Kilimnik

Yes, we know Trump's campaign manager met with a Russian intelligence operative; his own LAWYERS let it slip.



From "The Atlantic"  -



"When Paul Manafort’s lawyers accidentally revealed sensitive information about his contacts with a suspected Russian spy on Tuesday because of a redacting snafu, it wasn’t merely a blip. Rather, it was the latest in a series of apparent missteps the legal team for President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman has made in the nearly two years that it’s been defending the 69-year-old operative in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe."



"On Tuesday, their mistake was careless. The redaction error showed that prosecutors apparently believe that Manafort shared internal Trump polling data with the suspected spy Konstantin Kilimnik during the campaign."

Manafort Met Kilimnik in Secret - Lied to Feds

When Trump's campaign manager meets with a Russian who's KNOWN to be linked to a Kremlin intelligence agency . . .

When the conspirators leave by separate doors after exchanging the secret files . . .

When Trump's campaign manager LIES to the feds about the secret data exchange meeting  . . . 

It's hard for them to claim there was no collusion. 



The shadiness of the conspirators sneaking out by separate exits drew the judge's attention. It's now a matter of public record. They simply can't claim anymore that there was no collusion.
