Mueller over his "limited" probe


Simply amazing!

Mueller's indictments have been over things that either happened 15+ years ago or were process crimes that had nothing to do with Russian interference in the 2016 election.

That's Trump saying it's up to the AG...not ice try that it would not be made public.
Only a Fifth Avenue Trumper like you would say that.

Tell me what did Trump mean when he said: I don't know. It depends. I have no idea what it's going to say,” said Trump.

Why would that make any difference if the AG was going to make the decision?

I implore you to read up on the personal history of Paul Manafort.

Aaron Mate, a left wing russiagate skeptic has written a very good profile of the man and his contact with constantin kilminik.

LINK


quote:

Yet Mueller’s only references that Kilmnik has Kremlin “ties” came in two court filings in 2017 and 2018, and it’s not clear what Mueller meant in either case. In April 2018, Manafort’s attorneys told a Virginia judge that they have made “multiple discovery requests” seeking any contacts between Manafort and “Russian intelligence officials,” but that the special counsel informed them that “there are no materials responsive to [those] requests.”

Kilimnik insists that he has “no relation to the Russian or any other intelligence service.” According to a lengthy profile in The Atlantic, “insinuations” that Kilimnik has worked for Russian intelligence during his years in Ukraine “were never backed by more than a smattering of circumstantial evidence.” All of this has been lost on US media outlets, who routinely portray Kilimnik as a “Russian operative” or an “alleged Russian spy.”


Manafort's behaviors during the campaign (such as sharing polling data with kiliminik to give to ukrainian clients) are easily explained by the fact that Mr. Manafort was millions of dollars in debt in 2016.

quote:

Rather than imagining it as part of some grand Trump-Russia conspiracy, there’s a more plausible explanation for why Manafort wanted public polling data to be forwarded to Ukrainian oligarchs. Manafort was heavily in debt when he joined Trump’s team. Being able to show former Ukrainian clients “that he was managing a winning candidate,” the Times noted, “would help [Manafort] collect money he claimed to be owed for his work on behalf of the Ukrainian parties.”


Kiliminik is Manafort's fixer and translator for his ukranian clients. Manafort was still deeply involved in ukrainian stuff at time of campaign. It is likely the case that THAT is why he was in contact with Kilminik.

This is what bugs me about you guys. You throw out half truths, misleading statements, and outright lies as if they are truth in this whole russiagate sage.

A ten minute research on the internet would show you kilminik is not some kremlin intelligence agent.

What?

You guys need to desperately educate yourselves on the relationship between paul manafort and konstantin kiliminik. He was/is Manafort's translator and fixer for his Ukrainian clients.

There is zero evidence in court filings or elsewhere that Kiliminik is some nefarious head honcho intel dude.

If you want to understand Manafort's actions during election, this except from WP is the occam razor.

Yet he was still lying about them and they obviously had influence over him, during and after the campaign

Psst! Nothing Manafort says can be judged as truthful. Judge ruled just hours ago. Pay attention.

Interesting. But we should believe anything Cohen says, right? Even though he's literally going to jail for lying, he MUST be telling the truth now!

Please try to make sensible arguments

Who is "they"?

Kiliminik is a russian national, not necessarily a kremlin operative. Ironically, the lobbying work Manafort was doing in Ukraine was for a party that wanted greater ties to the EU.

Former fusion gps employee: everything you think you know about manafort's eastern european lobbying is wrong
quote:


A former contractor for Fusion GPS claims the opposition research firm got its investigation of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort “almost completely wrong.”

Graham Stack, who was hired by Fusion GPS in July 2016, writes in the Kyiv Post that he “share[s] the blame” for creating what he now says is a false narrative that Manafort worked for the Ukrainian government to advance a pro-Russia agenda.

But Stack, who has written for the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, argues that Manafort’s work in Ukraine did not advance Russia’s interests.

What we got wrong about Manafort — and what Mueller has got partly right in his indictment — is that Manafort was nothing like a pro-Kremlin influence on the former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, as the dossier alleged. Instead, Manafort was one of the driving forces pushing Yanukovych towards signing the agreement with the EU. The Kremlin has every reason to hate him,” Stack wrote.

“Manafort was amazingly successful in bringing Ukraine into the Western fold,” he said.

I don’t know. But it isn’t necessarily evidence of something greater

Look at George Papadopoulos

He lied, yet got a grand total of 12 days in jail. Already served.

He ended up being, frankly, a complete non story
