What does Manafort have to do with the Trump campaign conspiring or coordinating with the Russian government in its election interference activities?
That’s what they were trying to figure out. Why was he sharing campaign data with Russian agents? Why did he remibe support for Ukraine from the Republican platform? Why did he lie about his Russian contacts?

Fw Do you realize that people in america can and have been convicted in conspiracies with out having coordinated with each other?
I was not responding to your first post though my response, in my mind would fit, and is factual. Especially since I took the position that regardless of the spoken communication between them not being as important as the actual out come for america that both worked towards. Using each other if you will. Cheers gww

If trump is not colluding with russia, why does it need to know he is a contender during an election? They would figure that out if he won.

Why have you supported that russia should win and had no choice but to invade? If Ukraine won and the fighting stopped there would be peace. If russia had not invaded there would be peace. Wanting russia to win is only war like and in no way a position that is only about peace. You pick a winner whether anyone likes it or not and that is peace? Your winner invades and that is peace?

I do not want this to delve into what is already being discussed in the Ukraine war thread, any Ukraine war references here should have multiple, non-state funded or affiliated sources.

If you want to make claims like Manafort has ties to Ukraine after saying that you can explain, please do so and reference where possible from non state or non state affiliated sources.
E.g. here it is claimed that Manafort had ties to Yanukovych and pro Russian political parties within Ukraine. That he lied on his interactions with Kilimnik, and that Kilimnik was suspected of being an intermediary for the Russian military intelligence operation to hack into Democratic emails.
Quote:
Manafort set to work rebranding the party with poll-tested messaging and improved stagecraft. Before long, the Party of Regions was in power in Kyiv. One of his key aides in Ukraine was, allegedly, a Russian spy.
The Senate Intelligence Committee report on Trump and Russia said Konstantin Kilimnik was both “a Russian intelligence officer” and “an integral part of Manafort’s operations in Ukraine and Russia.
”According to the Senate report, Manafort met Kilimnik twice in person while working on the Trump campaign, messaged with him electronically and shared “sensitive campaign polling data” with him.
Senate investigators wrote in their report that they suspected Kilimnik served as “a channel for coordination” on the Russian military intelligence operation to hack into Democratic emails and leak them.
The Senate intel report notes that in about a dozen interviews with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Manafort “lied consistently” about “one issue in particular: his interactions with Kilimnik.”
Manafort didn’t make it to Election Day on the Trump campaign. In August 2016, The New York Times revealed that handwritten ledgers recovered from Yanukovych’s estate showed nearly $13 million in previously undisclosed payments to Manafort from Yanukovych and his pro-Russian party. Manafort was pushed out of his job as Trump’s campaign chairman less than a week later.
After Trump won the election, the Senate report says, Manafort and Kilimnik worked together on a proposed “plan” for Ukraine that would create an Autonomous Republic of Donbas in separatist-run southeast Ukraine, on the Russian border. Manafort went so far as to work with a pollster on a survey on public attitudes to Yanukovych, the deposed president. The plan only would need a “wink” from the new U.S. president, Kilimnik wrote to Manafort in an email.
https://www.propublica.org/article/lets-recall-what-exactly-paul-manafort-and-rudy-giuliani-were-doing-in-ukraine
All in all, if he obstructed justice it worked, because he took the fall for financial crimes but was inevitably pardoned by Trump.
Thus the interactions between Manafort and Kilimnik are not clarified, and the specifics of what ties Manafort may have within Ukraine are a bit clearer.

Yanukovych was Ukrainian, and Manafort was a tax cheat.

Koods claimed Manafort "was asked about his connections to Russia and he said he had none. One of the reasons he was fired as campaign manager is because that statement was revealed to be a lie."
Manafort didn't have connections to Russia, he had connections to Ukraine.

Manafort didn't have connections to Russia, he had connections to Ukraine.
His Ukrainian connections were Russian spies
