Mueller knows all. Rick Gates has been a wealth of important info. Manafort is dead in the water.

A trump pardon just became more difficult if Manafort did share the polling info with the Ruskies.

Muellerā€™s the one playing 4D chess. Trump is playing knock over the chess board and claim victory.

Is there anyone or anything (up to and including his clothes) associated with Manafort that isnā€™t completely sleazy?

Huge story in my view. Fabrizio is one of the best pollsters in the business. Fabrizio drew up the map for Trump to be able to get over the line. Heā€™s the one who saw that WWC voters would be strong for Trump if he pitched certain messages and that targeting Sanders voters to vote Trump or 3rd party might be enough to swing a few states to break the blue wall and win the EC. If Fabrizio gave Manafort access to his voter data files, polling data and analysis, that would be prized info indeed.

Mueller seems to have, at minimum, the emails w/attachments that Manafort sent to Kilimnick. He interviewed Fabrizio to provide evidence on the process of how he communicated and worked for Manafort (he had done so for many years) and what info he wouldā€™ve given. Iā€™m also leaning to the idea that the FBI (or NSA?) hacked Kilimnickā€™s email accounts. They may know to whom Kilimnick forward the campaign data downstream. If they do have such information, it gives Mueller a clear picture of who was asking for the information, their purpose, and the expectations of the Trump campaign from those foreign players. Huge.

In addition, another ā€˜collusionā€™ thread which has not gotten enough attention in my view is the nearly identical social media campaigns to drive Bernie Sanders voters to Trump or third party conducted by GRU and the Trump campaign. What has been described and attributed to GRU also aligns with the voter targeting program that Kushner, Bannon and Parscale each publicly took credit for. Both efforts were doing the same things in terms of identifying Sanders voters and targeting them on social media with anti-HRC disinformation. The idea that those efforts were not only coordinated, but were likely the same effort seems like a very logical supposition. Itā€™s not even a question about needing to connect dots. They look like the same f***ing dots!

Pres Individual 1ā€™s supporters who have been screaming ā€œWrap up the investigation!ā€ will start asking for delays in 3,2,1ā€¦

If???

It is in a filing from Manafortā€™s own legal team. Ainā€™t no ā€œifā€ about it.

OK!
