Mueller says Paul Manafort shared 2016 polling data with Russian, mistakenly redacted filing reveals

January 8, 2019
A piece of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation is now out in the open — not that Paul Manafort's lawyers wanted it to be.

On Monday, Manafort's lawyers submitted a filing in the U.S. government's case against him, and a redacted version was made public on Tuesday. Except the public document wasn't redacted very well, and revealed that Mueller is alleging Manafort shared 2016 polling data with a supposed Russian operative.

This is a section of Manafort's filing that his lawyers tried to redact. (They failed -- you can just copy and paste the text.)

Mueller alleges Manafort lied about sharing 2016 polling data with Konstantin Kilimnik, who the government claims has ties to Russian intelligence

The filing refers to Konstantin Kilimnik, an aide of Manafort's who's also been charged with conspiracy and is thought to be a Russian intelligence agent. Manafort "conceded" he "may have discussed a Ukraine peace plan" with Kilimnik, and said they met up in Madrid, another not-quite-reacted portion shows.

Yet another mistaken redaction shows Mueller alleges Manafort talked to "a third party" who wanted to use Manafort's name "as an introduction" if they met President Trump. In response to Mueller's allegations that Manafort lied to government prosecutors, Manafort's lawyers say any "misstatements ... were not intentional."

Manafort was Trump's 2016 campaign chair, and is currently in jail after being charged with obstruction of justice and financial crimes. He was cooperating with Mueller until the special counsel's office found that he told them "multiple discernable lies." Lawyers say his legal troubles and imprisonment are taking a toll on his health. Kathryn Krawczyk

Yep. This is the collusion that Trump has denied for so long. And Yet, Pkr will never change his logo saying the Russian thing is all made up.
This is direct collusion between the campaign, it's resources (voter information) and Russian intelligence. I'm still waiting for Roger Stone's arrest though. I'll be very happy when that happens. I think it will come the same day as warrants are issued against Donald Jr and Jared Kushner.

It's not made up. We know for a fact that hillary and the dnc used a 3rd party lawyer to commission Russian counterintelligence through fusion gps. That the dossier was shopped through our intelligence apparatus and fraudulently used by them to obtain fisa warrants to spy on the trump campaign.

That's all factual and known. We also know that hillary and the dnc screwed over bernie to rig the primary.

Please explain the multiple indictments/guilty pleas/convictions in the Mueller investigation. I'll wait.

Non of them directly related to the trump campaign... much less trump himself. Let's stick to known facts.

I'll wait.

How did leftists lose the ability to differentiate between facts and conjecture?
