In a court filing today, Paul Manafort’s lawyers accidentally failed to black out information indicating that while he was Candidate Trump’s Campaign Manager, Manafort shared campaign polling information with a person with ties to Russian intelligence.
If it looks like a collusion and smells like a collusion, it probably is a collusion
Time to retire all those “No Collusion!” posts and fall back to a new defensive position.
Feels like the Army of Northern Virginia in the fall of 1864. Outnumbered, outgunned and consistently outflanked in a war of attrition. Oh, for the good old days when Trump’s position was “no one in my campaign talked to any Russians,” but that line sounds so 2017 these days.
Like I said, this is totally normal behavior on the part of a campaign manager.
You don’t think David Axelrod also shared this kind of data with Russian intelligence operatives when he was managing Obama’s campaign? And you don’t think he then would have lied about it, like Manafort did? Don’t be naive.
Besides, Kilmnik–he’s big into US political data. He’s a buff; it’s his hobby.
You are right. Collusion does not appear in the criminal code. Criminal conspiracy is iliegal which is why it is highly likely that indictments will be issued regarding the Trump Tower meeting
Don’t be surprised if nary a single Trump supporter shows for this thread. There is no logical excuse for the Campaign Chairman of the Trump Campaign to be sharing internal polling data for the (then) upcoming Presidential election with a member of the Russian intelligence service and close associate of Mr. Putin.
Well, there is one logical excuse. Conspiring with one another to illegally impact the US election.
This will be a tough pill for most of the red-hatters to swallow.
