So we know Paul Manafort worked for Putin trying to get pro Russian politicians elected in Ukraine for awhile. Then he showed up on Trumps door and offers to run his campaign for free. While running his campaign Manafort shares Trump’s followers data to a Russian intelligence officer who he meets many times. Of course why believe me? How about read the Senate report led by Republicans or the NYT’s story on it.
Report Details Manafort’s Ties During 2016 Trump Campaign to a Russian Agent
The former campaign chairman Paul Manafort kept in close touch with a longtime colleague whom Senate investigators identified as a Russian intelligence officer.

WASHINGTON — Russian intelligence services pursued myriad avenues to influence the Trump campaign in 2016, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee, but none was more important than the relationship between the campaign chairman Paul Manafort and a man who had been his friend and co-worker for years: a Russian intelligence officer named Konstantin V. Kilimnik.
Their link was “the single most direct tie between senior Trump campaign officials and the Russian intelligence services,” according to the fifth and final volume of the committee’s report on its bipartisan three-year investigation issued Tuesday.
While the committee was stymied in its efforts to fully plumb the relationship between the two men, investigators found enough there to declare that Mr. Manafort created “a grave counterintelligence threat” by sharing inside information about the presidential race with Mr. Kilimnik and the Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs whom he served.
The report portrayed Mr. Manafort as deeply compromised by years of business dealings with those oligarchs. Collectively, they had paid him tens of millions of dollars, lent him millions more and may also have owed him millions.
Manafort was caught because he somehow forgot to mention to the US that he was paid tens of millions working for pro Russian oligarchs and his business partner was a Russian intelligence officer. He was convicted and sentenced to prison. Trump pardoned him. Now he’s trying to return to the GOP in time for the election to help Trump win. Awesome!
