So Gates = they now? Also Gates' opinion isn't fact. There's no evidence proving it. Just like Mifsud.From the link: "Rick Gates, Manafort’s deputy on the Trump campaign, described Kilimnik as “a former Russian intelligence officer with the GRU”
Sounds like they knew he was Russian intelligence to me.
You really are as dumb as a rock.You can't believe a word that comes from this government. They've all been bought. Or are pawns of Russia.
Resistance 2019 - Still falsely labeling people Russian spies to prop up a throughly debunked conspiracy.
It's so 2017.
If Manafort was under the impression he wasn't Russian intelligence and there's no evidence that he is Russian intelligence, then was Manafort really lying about contact with Russia intelligence?
Congrats you moved the goalposts from literally one post to the next. From "he didn't know he was Russian intelligence" to "you can't prove it!" Gates was his toady for years, they worked on it all together. They knew he was Russian intelligence, Gates just flipped and said it out loud while Manafort didn't so denies it. They didn't charge Kilimnik because he wasn't the one who lied about the meetings, Manafort was. Convicted of it even. As to Kilimnik, your whole argument hinges on a former GRU officer just being a totally normal businessman with no ulterior motives or nefarious contacts. Hilarious. Where has our country gone when the right is defending the integrity of Russian intelligence...So Gates = they now? Also Gates' opinion isn't fact. There's no evidence proving it. Just like Mifsud.
If that's the case, and there's all this proof, then why didn't Mueller indict Kilimnik? He had no problem indicting Americans for petty FARA violations and false statements or anonymous Russian trolls. Why not a Russian intelligence officer?
Are you really this dense? If your narrative is true then he's a foreign spy who interfered in the election. Lying is the least of his worries. It's also totally irrelevant and besides the point.They didn't charge Kilimnik because he wasn't the one who lied about the meetings,
Incorrect. The meeting took place on August the 2nd. Manafort was with the campaign until concern about these issues caused his removal on the 19th.
Yes he was. Lying about these meetings.
I'm not. He was convicted of older financial crimes that's true. But he was also convicted of lying about these Russian contacts during the campaign.

Exactly. It's true but you disregard it for partisan reasons.That's all bullshit. I mean, it might have a basis in reality, but what makes it bullshit is that none of it passes the shoe on the other foot test.
Where has our country gone when the right is defending the integrity of Russian intelligence...

It's in the Mueller report. Evidence was destroyed to hide it from investigators, key text messages and communications.Let's entertain the fantasy.
Kilimnik is a legit Russian spy. Manafort knowingly shared secret polling data with him and then purposely lied to conceal it.
Why wasn't Manafort indicted with conspiring with a foreign spy to interfere in the election on top of being indicted for false statements?
Just because he lied doesn't mean Mueller still couldn't get to the truth. He had an unlimited budget and the entire US IC behind him.
Seriously, if The Daily Beast can so easily connect the dots, then surely Mueller's dream team could too.
How is that explained away?
It's in the Mueller report. Evidence was destroyed to hide it from investigators, key text messages and communications.
What happened to all of those Hillary Clinton emails?It's in the Mueller report. Evidence was destroyed to hide it from investigators, key text messages and communications.
U.S. President Donald Trump is paying up after conceding that he used his charitable foundation at times as a personal piggy bank.
Trump has wired $2 million US to pay a court-ordered fine for misusing the Trump Foundation in part to further his business interests and 2016 presidential run, New York Attorney General Letitia James said Tuesday. The money will be distributed to eight charities.
About $1.8 million left in the Trump Foundation's bank account was also split among the nonprofits getting fine money, along with $11,525 that Trump paid back for spending foundation money on sports memorabilia and champagne at a charity gala.
MAGA!
Buying himself fancy shit with donations supposed to be going to cancer kids and vets
You can NOT be this dumb.What Manafort was convicted for lying about was these meetings with Russian intelligence to give them the data. What Stone was convicted of lying about was acting as a go-between for Trump and Russian intelligence. Those are absolutely indictments for colluding with Russia, and not "false statements about irrelevant subject matter".
Bonginoreport.comVery telling day over at " The Drudge Report" Their headline on this day when the IG is tearing apart the FBI limb by limb -- Something about Boris hiding in a fridge in the UK .. Almost surreal the Drudge report is not giving top status to the FISA abuse and top level lawyers at the FBI acting illegally to spy on a political opponent ( while trying to impeach a president over much less)
