Trump's campaign conspired with Russians

Trump's campaign conspired with Russians The collusion case against Trump's campaign is getting even stronger. Attorneys for Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, inadvertently included a big reveal in a court filing Tuesday through clumsy failure to properly redact key portions. They admitted that during the 2016 campaign Manafort and his longtime associate Konstantin Kilimnik, who the FBI has said has ties to Russian intelligence, discussed a peace plan for Ukraine and that Manafort also shared with him political polling data. Peace plan? Where have we heard that before? Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, Trump’s former Mafia-linked, Russian American business associate Felix Sater and Ukrainian politician Andrii Artemenko conspired after the 2016 election to present a peace plan to incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn, who was himself suspiciously friendly to the Russians. The plan would have approved Russian annexation of Crimea and lifted sanctions on Russia. In other words, the payoff that Russian President Vladimir Putin was seeking from his intervention on behalf of candidate Trump — and it could easily have come to fruition if the Russian election interference had not become a scandal. The more significant part of the Tuesday revelations concerns the polling data that Manafort shared with Kilimnik. Why would an individual with ties to Russian intelligence need polling data on the U.S. election? To help direct the covert social-media propaganda campaign Russian intelligence was running on Trump’s behalf. The Russians reached 126 million people via Facebook alone and millions more on other social-media platforms. Combined with Russia’s theft and strategically timed release of Democratic Party emails, this likely swung an exceedingly close election, decided by fewer than 80,000 votes in three states Michigan, Wisconsin and Penn. to Trump. How did the Kremlin so skillfully target American voters, focusing especially on African Americans, Bernie Sanders supporters and other groups who were expected to vote for Hillary Clinton? When political campaigns run ads they typically rely on detailed voter data to guide their efforts. Did the Kremlin do its own polling? Manafort was providing the Russians with poll numbers. According to the New York Times, “Most of the data was public, but some of it was developed by a private polling firm working for the campaign,” and Manafort asked Kilimnik to pass the data to two pro-Russian oligarchs in Ukraine for whom Manafort previously worked. The Trump campaign chairman had also worked for the Russian oligarch Oleg V. Deripaska. The Post has reported that Manafort, who was running the Trump campaign for no pay, offered Deripaska, whom he owed as much as $17 million, “private briefings” on the 2016 campaign in order to “get whole.” Actually, there is evidence to indicate that the data-sharing might have gone both ways. Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has revealed that the Russians stole not only emails but also data analytics from the Democratic Party. A few weeks after this theft in September 2016, the Trump campaign shifted its “data-driven” strategy to focus on the very states where it would win the election. The revelation about Manafort sharing data with Kilimnik is the most significant evidence of collusion/conspiracy since Michael Cohen’s Nov. 29 guilty plea on charges of lying to Congress to conceal the Trump Organization’s active pursuit during the 2016 campaign, with help from Putin aides, of a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. That, in turn, was the most damning evidence to emerge since the New York Times revealed that there had been a meeting at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, between Trump campaign high command and a Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, promising dirt on Hillary Clinton. Veselnitskaya’s deep links to the Kremlin have just been confirmed in a new court filing. The Moscow Project of the Center for American Progress reports that “we have learned of 97 contacts between Trump’s team and Russia linked operatives, including at least 28 meetings,” and that the Trump campaign tried to cover up all of them. Conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia was at least a felony violation of Federal campaign finance and disclosure laws. This corruption is much worse than Watergate; there was subversion of U.S. elections by a foreign government acting in concert with Trump's GOP campaign staff in 2016. |

New evidence the Trump campaign conspired with the Russians in the 2016 election campaign. Turns out the witches were Manafort and Russian oligarchs and russian hackers subverting U.S. elections in 2016. What did Trump himself know and when did he know it? Worse than Watergate by far.
