Then why wasn’t he charged with Russian collusion related crimes?
How are you not aware of this? It's the very basis of the collusion narrative. It was all over the news - well maybe not of Fox or Epoch Times. Initially, Manafort claimed he funneled polling data to Russia for "future business considerations" before claiming he did for cash. It appears to me that Manafort fell on his sword for Big Orange much like Ollie North did for Reagan during the Iran-Contra investigations. Or maybe Manafort was hard up for money, afterall he only had made $70 million prior to getting mixed up in this shyt show. A million dollars just doesn't go as far as it once did.

Manafort said he shared the data to make money for himself, not to get Trump elected.

In an interview with Insider, Paul Manafort, who served as Donald Trump's campaign chairman, made his first public admission that in 2016 he shared polling data from the Trump campaign with Konstantin Kilimnik, a longtime business associate with suspected ties to Russian intelligence.



Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, was sentenced in a Washington, D.C., courtroom Wednesday, March 13, to an additional 43 months in prison for conspiracy against the United States and conspiracy to obstruct justice for attempting to tamper with witnesses.


Best part is Manafort never really had to serve his prison sentence. They sent him home from prison due to Covid and then Trump pardoned him. I'm sure house arrest is really rough for rich connected guys like Manafort. Win-win for everybody. Yeah team Trump!!!

Something else may go down on top of this; I wonder if they’re baiting Ukraine to attack by any chance or if this really is pure Russia vs Wagner:

There are rumors Wagner was attacked by Russian troops. Prigozhin has been openly critical of the war effort. I suspect the rumors are true and Wagner was attacked by Russian troops and that prompted the short lived coup.

It would be an interesting tactic to get Ukraine to over commit to the offensive.

‘So let’s be clear: “Conspiracy against the United States” isn’t what it sounds like. It has nothing to do with foreign actors influencing an election.’

‘But it is fundamentally a charge related to the other charges of money laundering, misleading federal officials and investigators about foreign bank accounts, and lobbying for the Ukrainian government. It’s not about betraying America in some deep, treasonous sense.’


I just don’t see the Russian collusion. I’m not saying what he did was right, seems quite wrong, but all of his charges seem to be involved around illegal money movements and him trying to hide it, but I don’t see a charge that convicts him of colluding with Russia.

Manafort was on the trump team for only 2 months iirc, and quit a few months before the 2016 election iirc, so I’m not sure how much impact he had over Trump’s success, maybe some but seemingly very short lived. Once again, not defending him, just saying where’s the Russian collision charge? They wanted him to hang for a charge like that, so me not seeing one is telling.

That’s a news article link, idk why it’s so short.

Manafort was with Trump March - August 2016. You can believe what you want. There are all sorts of more logical explanations for Manafort's activities. Manafort had no idea Russia would use political polling data for political purposes. Manafort was actually a mole inside the Trump campaign and intended for the Kremlin to use the data against Trump. Maybe Manafort was just hard up for cash (despite his considerable fortune). He was trading the polling data for Russian intel on the Clinton child/*** trafficking ring, which led to Q exposing Pizzagate. He thought the data was for a Russian Mail Order Brides ad campaign targeting conservative males.

To think he was possibly colluding with Russia to influence our elections is just crazy talk. There are just so many legitimate things that Russia could do with insider political polling, why would Manafort think they would the data against Clinton?

It’s not my fault he wasn’t charged with colluding with Russia. You’d think they would’ve charged him if the evidence was actually there

Just becuz they don't have the evidence to charge him doesn't mean it didn't happen. There's one obvious explanation for why Manafort funneled political polling data to Russia.
