Key figure that Mueller report linked to Russia was a State Department intel source

Key figure that Mueller report linked to Russia was a State Department intel source | TheHill

But hundreds of pages of government documents — which special counsel Robert Mueller possessed since 2018 — describe Kilimnik as a “sensitive” intelligence source for the U.S. State Department who informed on Ukrainian and Russian matters.

Why Mueller’s team omitted that part of the Kilimnik narrative from its report and related court filings is not known. But the revelation of it comes as the accuracy of Mueller’s Russia conclusions face increased scrutiny.

The incomplete portrayal of Kilimnik is so important to Mueller’s overall narrative that it is raised in the opening of his report. “The FBI assesses” Kilimnik “to have ties to Russian intelligence,” Mueller’s team wrote on page 6, putting a sinister light on every contact Kilimnik had with Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman.


.... How can Kilimnick be a known intelligence source for the State Department and have that not be mentioned in the Mueller report? :roll:

The Mueller team appears to have intentionally lied through misrepresentation. He knew that Kilimnick was not a Russian agent, but that fact was classified, so he could use Kilimnick to build his case against Manafort knowing that it would be a federal offense to divulge proof that Kilimnick was actually an Intel source for the United States.

Sounds like Mueller gave too much control to Wiseman

Guilt over what? There was no conspiracy between Trump and Russia to fix the 2016 election.

Guilt over the entire sorry episode of having Russia help him get elected.

I haven't searched here, but has anyone printed the news that the Mueller report intentionally edited a transcript of a phone conversation, removing exculpatory passages? Because yeah, he did that as well.

Two years of waiting for a report that was nothing more than garbage based on Fake News which still was not able to produce the indictment
the Dems expected & hoped for. I'm sure this Mueller character will be pummeled by the Republican contingent if
Nadler demands his testimony. Nadler is so naive that he doesn't realize that if Mueller takes the stand under oath it won't produce
what Nadler was hoping it would. Mueller will do anything possible not to testify but I hope they manage to get him in front of the
committee!

I do not know what that means nor what it has to do with the 2016 election.

Question- Do you think all of this has something to do with PM Conti asking for the resignations of directors in his intelligence agencies last month?

Yes. I do think it is related.

Polonskaya seems to me to have been a honeytrap. Timofeev was the handler.

What makes you think Polonskaya had any connection to Timofeev? What makes you think Timofeev had any connection to Mifsud?

If Mifsud was working for Brennan, I've got to figure he would have been a lot more forthcoming to the FBI when he was interviewed by them in the lobby of a Washington Hotel on February 10, 2017. (see Mueller Report, Vol. I, Page 193)

I disagree. Especially if Mueller was already aware of Brennan's actions. Plus, we've already seen how Mueller spun stuff in his report to advance a particular narrative. In other words, I suggest you don't trust a thing in the Mueller report.

As for your last question, I get the impression that Mifsud was working his own angle with the Russians before Papadopoulos came along. I don't know what that angle was... but I sincerely doubt it had anything to do with the election. He knew the Russians were very interested in establishing contacts with members of the Trump campaign and so he arranged the meeting with Papadopoulos to build up his own bona fides to pursue his own objectives. I don't think he realized how explosive this situation was about to become.

I normally do not use the term BUTTHURT because of the obvious homosexual slurs attached - but the insult certainly does apply to both Trump and his right wing supporters when you say it.

I guess you did NOT read the Mueller Report which clearly identified the Russian interference on behalf of the Trump campaign.

That seems to br a favorite line by you crazy leftsts. I read it. I just didn't pounce on the crumbs in it because That's all they are. You guys must be literally starving over there.

why wouldn't Pelosi Impeach Trump if Russia was guilty of getting Trump elected? isn't Trump an illegal President in your mind?

Actually, the entire Volume I chronicles the Russian interference to help the Trump Campaign and the over 100 points of cooperation between the two and then Volume II chronicles over ten different violation of the crime of obstruction of justice that Trump committed complete with an analysis of each and how it satisfies the components of a crime.

That is far far far more than any crumbs.

Because the jury is horribly rigged in Trumps favor.

Because when Poloskaya disappears from the picture, Timofeev enters. That's a pretty standard recruitment technique... Mifsud was the spotter, Polonskaya did the assessment, and then Timofeev enters the picture to develop the asset. Once Papadopoulos compromised himself to a sufficient point, then he'd be ripe for recruitment by the case officer who was running the entire operation. Ideally, at the end of the process, you've got a well-placed asset in a highly placed position within the new Administration.

Mifsud was who introduced Timofeev to Papadopoulos. I'd say the connection was pretty self-evident.
