In a key finding of the Mueller report, Ukrainian businessman Konstantin Kilimnik, who worked for Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, is tied to Russian intelligence.

But hundreds of pages of government documents — which 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 special counsel Robert Mueller’s team omitted that part of the Kilimnik narrative from their 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.

What it doesn’t state is that Kilimnik was a “sensitive” intelligence source for State going back to at least 2013 while he was still working for Manafort, according to FBI and State Department memos I reviewed.

Kilimnik was not just any run-of-the-mill source, either.

He interacted with the chief political officer at the U.S. embassy in Kiev, sometimes meeting several times a week to provide information on the Ukraine government. He relayed messages back to Ukraine’s leaders and delivered written reports to U.S. officials via emails that stretched on for thousands of words, the memos show.

The FBI knew all of this, well before the Mueller investigation concluded.

That is the legal standard in America that governs all criminal prosecutions. The prosecution must show that probable cause exists to believe the defendant committed the crime. Probable cause is a very low level of evidence, it is just the minimum to bring criminal charges. Even if there is probable cause, the defendant is still presumed innocent until proved guilty by a jury of 12, beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Mueller report doesn't come close to making a finding of probable cause as to a single alleged "crime" by President Trump.

There is no such standard of "we were unable to prove the President did NOT commit a crime" in American jurisprudence. It is not a relevant statement by the Mueller team. Similar is "we did not exonerate him". That is an imaginary legal standard which simply does not exist.

Mueller also failed the school of logic. He implied he could prove a negative. The whole report was written with a heavy political tone. He thinks a special counsel's job is to collect information for political proceedings such as an impeachment.

This is likely a prelude to Flynn's attempting to withdraw his guilty plea on grounds of ineffective assistance of his (former) counsel.

Ineffective assistance? They got him a plea deal of no jail time. SMH

He might be angling for a pardon. Or he's nuts. And we already knew he's nuts.

Yes, ineffective assistance of counsel. He obviously can't keep the same attorneys and have them file the motion that they themselves were ineffective. So he has to get new attorneys to file that kind of motion, accusing his fired attorneys of providing ineffective assistance in counseling him to plead guilty to a crime which he didn't commit.

Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.

Implying that Flynn accepted (or was ever even offered) a pardon is your admission of stupidity, since it never happened.

I'm implying that is his strategy for firing his lawyers.

Or else his strategy is to get himself charged with treason. That might be it.

How do you explain the more selective release, willful misinterpretation and extreme editing by AG William Barr of the Mueller report?

????
Barr did not edit the report. He asked Mueller to give it to him with the redactions of classified material and grand jury information. Mueller chose not to do so. The only thing that was "edited" was the redactions of highly classified and grand jury information. Pretty sure that someone from Mueller's team participated in that action. Other than that, pretty much everything was released to the public, and more was released to Congress. That is not "editing." It is the law.

Sorry dems, looks like another trump victory.
Maga!!
