I’m making fun of texridder for believing Kilimnik was a Russian intelligence agent as opposed to a guy with “ties” to Russia that was also an Obama State Department confidential informant

Do you have a link for that information? LINK

Not a single thing in that Solomon article is authenticated.

Nothing.

Russians sat out of the 2020 election due to COVID

There is little evidence of that at all.

The question you meant to ask is why Donald Trump fired Manafort BEFORE the Fall Campaign.

The question you meant to ask is why Donald Trump was not given a defensive briefing if there was ANY concern regarding Russian involvement in 2016.

Manafort shared data with the Russians for reasons having nothing to do with the campaign.

Russian Spy or Hustling Political Operative? The Enigmatic Figure at the Heart of Mueller’s Inquiry
By Kenneth P. Vogel and Andrew E. Kramer
Feb. 23, 2019

WASHINGTON — In the nearly two years that the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, has been investigating whether there was collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, few figures seem to have offered more tantalizing leads than Konstantin V. Kilimnik.
...

Dozens of interviews, court filings and other documents show Mr. Kilimnik to be an operator who moved easily between Russian, Ukrainian and American patrons, playing one off the other while leaving a jumble of conflicting suspicions in his wake. The effort to disentangle the mysteries surrounding him seems likely to leave questions even after the conclusion of the special counsel’s work.

To American diplomats in Washington and Kiev, he has been a well-known character for nearly a decade, developing a reputation as a broker of valuable information like the alliances of Ukraine’s oligarchs and the country’s handling of foreign investment and sensitive criminal cases.

He traveled freely to the United States, and on a trip in May 2016 met senior State Department officials for drinks at the Off the Record bar in the basement of the Hay-Adams hotel across from the White House. Later that year, he visited with the new United States ambassador to Ukraine in Kiev.

But in a federal court in Washington, Mr. Mueller’s prosecutors have repeatedly portrayed Mr. Kilimnik as something potentially more nefarious: “a former Russian intelligence officer” who “has ties to a Russian intelligence service and had such ties in 2016.”
...

In Kiev, Mr. Kilimnik became a valued source for the political staff of the United States Embassy, because he did not try to sugarcoat the financial motivations of the oligarchs who funded the political parties for which he worked, said David A. Merkel, who handled Ukraine issues as a deputy assistant secretary of state for President George W. Bush.

“The idea that he is some master spy seems hard to fathom,” said Mr. Merkel, who was Mr. Kilimnik’s boss at one of the pro-democracy groups.

Seems a bit more than "nothing" to me.

Oh, and related to the idiot OP, here is a pearl from the same NYTimes piece.

quote:

---

Just before Mr. Manafort was forced to resign from the Trump campaign in mid-August 2016 amid scrutiny of his work in Ukraine, the F.B.I. opened an investigation into the campaign’s possible ties to Russia.

---

Doesn’t matter.

He had no intent.

You think the Russians couldn’t get the polling data themselves?

---

I'm sure they could. Which is why if Manafort gave it to them, this is a nothingburger

Here is a post of mine from two years ago on another board to prove to the Commies that Manafort was railroaded.

You know what is laughable? In your Original post you linked a article proving Manfort was working with a guy that has ties to Russia. OMG!!

Konstantin Kilimnik-- If Paul Manfort's contacts with this Guy were so shady then why isn't the Hussien and Bush Administrations contacts with him under scrutiny?

Lets read up on this Russian spy.

In Kiev, Mr. Kilimnik became a valued source for the political staff of the United States Embassy, because he did not try to sugarcoat the financial motivations of the oligarchs who funded the political parties for which he worked, said David A. Merkel, who handled Ukraine issues as a deputy assistant secretary of state for President George W. Bush.

So the Bush Administration was a Russian Colluder along with Obamas State Dept.? OMG!!! this is crazy!

I'm not defending Manafort I'm just interested in the facts. Republicans like John McCain were involved in this too.
This is a Democrat scandal and much of the media is not being truthful. You have been lied to again and you keep falling for it. If this Guy was a Russian asset then why were the previous two Administrations working with him? The NY Times called him a "valued source."

Is he a valued Source or a Russian Spy? :headscratch: Let's go on..

To American diplomats in Washington and Kiev, he has been a well-known character for nearly a decade, developing a reputation as a broker of valuable information like the alliances of Ukraine’s oligarchs and the country’s handling of foreign investment and sensitive criminal cases.

He traveled freely to the United States?? How'd he do that being a Russian Spy? He met Senior State Dept Officials in 2016 across from the White House? Who was President then? Ohh Hussein was. OMG!!

NYTimes

You want an accurate report on what really went down?

House intel concludes no collusion in 2016 campaign

GOP's anti-Trump stance led to problems with Carter Page, George Papadopoulos

This is what honest reporting looks like. Manafort dealt with a Guy that was a known State Dept. Source that had regular coms with the Obama State Dept.
