Most damaging evidence of Russian collusion with Trump campaign released today

[oreo]

"The FBI has found that a business associate of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had ongoing ties to Russian intelligence, including during the 2016 presidential campaign when Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, were in touch with the associate, according to new court filings.

The documents, filed late Tuesday by prosecutors for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, also allege that Gates has said he knew the associate was a former officer with the Russian military intelligence service.

The allegations underscore Mueller’s interest in Manafort and Gates, who continued to interact with business associates in Ukraine even as they helped lead Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Gates, 45, who was deputy campaign manager for Trump and had earlier worked with Manafort in Ukraine, pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy and lying to the FBI in a cooperation deal with Mueller’s probe.

Prosecutors made the allegation without naming the Manafort associate but described his role with Manafort in detail. The description matches Konstantin Kilimnik, the Russian manager of Manafort’s lobbying office in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev.Kili mnik has previously denied intelligence ties, telling The Washington Post in a statement in June that he has “no relation to the Russian or any other intelligence service.”

The information about the FBI’s assessment of the Manafort associate came in a court filing related to the upcoming sentencing of London attorney Alex van der Zwaan, whose firm worked with Manafort when he served as a political consultant in Ukraine.

Van der Zwaan, 33, the son-in-law of a prominent Russian Ukrainian banker, pleaded guilty last month to lying about his September 2016 contacts with Gates and the Manafort associate, identified in court documents only as “Person A.”

Prosecutors explained that van der Zwaan had lied and withheld documents about information that was “pertinent” to their investigation — that Gates had been in direct contact during the presidential campaign with a person who “has ties to a Russian intelligence service and had such ties in 2016.”

They said that when van der Zwaan was interviewed by the FBI in November, he told investigators that Gates had informed him that Person A was a former officer of the Russian military intelligence service, known as the GRU. (Russian intelligence.)

So Rick Gates has pleaded guilty and is working with Robert Mueller now--but this proves direct contact with Russian intelligence and the Trump campaign during the campaign season.

A great book to read right now.

Y'all would suck on a rope swing over the creek.
Ya just can't let go.

You're little straw house is getting blown away here--

You just don't have much else to cling to, do you?
Bless your little heart.

Well I have got a bunch to cling to, it's you that's hanging on with your pinky nail--- Trump & surrogates were being watched and monitored in normal daily spying operations by several different foreign countries since 2015.
British spies were first to spot Trump team's links with Russia

Which is why Shep Smith knew that Trump surrogates were on the phone with Russians including the day they were hacking into DNC databases.


Which is why Trump jr. couldn't pull off a secret Russian meeting in the Trump tower in June 2016.


And it didn't help that the dumbass went on National T.V. and admit to Obstruction of Justice--

What evidence, it has nothing to do with Trump or the campaign, no matter how much you regressives wish it to be so. Grow the fuck up man.

Oh shit, oreo posted that homosexual Shep Smith's Rachel "Binky" Maddow moment.

The ONLY RUSSIAN COLLUSION is with Crooked Hillary, and despite the daily, idiotic threads about The Donald, Crooked Hillary and her gang including Obama are going to be prosecuted for her crimes.

And just think------ THIS IS THEIR MOST DAMAGING EVIDENCE!!!!

BTW, I once went to school with a person whose cousin knew someone who dated a Russian. He got her in a magazine of women wanting to take American men as husbands! I heard she was very good in bed. Does that mean I colluded with the Russians as well?

The most disturbing thing is that whatever info has made its way out is likely just the tip of the iceberg that Mueller's team have tracked down. I think that because look at every Mueller indictment thus far...each of them was presaged by nothing.

One thing folks, particularly Trumpkins, tend to overlook is that for a prosecutor to have a case summarily dismissed upon resting is tantamount to saying the prosecutor simply did not do his/her job. It's better to have a case go full course and lose than it is to have it dismissed at the end of the prosecution's arguments. Such a dismissal is basically the judge saying, "You did not meet the basic burden of proof required for the code section you allege the defendant violated." People on Mueller's team can't and won't have that sort of thing be part of their professional track record.

Evidence that will be ignored by Republicans.

Yes. The "fake news" and "deep state" refrains facilitate their doing so.

I use a simple words for it,"pertinacious" or "mulish," depending on the situation; however, in today's "touchy feely" culture, folks use the fancy psychology term "cognitive dissonance," which, I suppose, allows folks to feel as though it's not really their fault that they're so f*cking obdurate. Momma calls it "willful." Sometimes I do too.

​

Trump & surrogates were being watched and monitored in normal daily spying operations by several different foreign countries since 2015.

Yes, but at the end of the day, I dare say "played" be ultimately what they were and likely still are.
