CORRECTION: PAUL MANAFORT asked KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK to pass TRUMP polling to the Ukrainian oligarchs SERHIY LYOVOCHKIN & RINAT AKHMETOV, & not to OLEG DERIPASKA, as originally reported. We have corrected the story & I deleted a tweet repeating the error.

@kenvogel
LYOVOCHKIN & AKHMETOV had funded Russia-aligned political parties for which MANAFORT had worked. Manafort believed he was still owed $$$ for the work. Passing along polling data to the oligarchs could be a way to try to collect by proving continued value.






In other words, Manafort believed he was still owed money from Ukrainian clients, and showing them favorable polling was a way for Manafort to show he was still worth value in the political sphere


Another collusion dud

In my best White Goodman voice...Well...Russia invaded Ukraine so, ex post facto, colluding with Ukraine IS colluding with Russia...

They got the info from a court filing. How did they screw that up?

No, only a part of the NYT report relied on court filings

They reported additional details last night that were inaccurate
