Manafort-Linked PAC Failed To Report $1 million donation

How do you forget about $1 million?

A super PAC closely linked to Paul Manafort is facing questions about why it failed to report a $1 million donation received just before the 2016 presidential election.

In a Tuesday letter, the Federal Election Commission asked the Rebuilding America Now PAC for more information about the donation, which the PAC first disclosed in an amended report in November 2018—some two years after the fact.

The FEC letter raises new questions about the murky financial operations of the PAC, which was operated by two Manafort deputies. Special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating whether Rebuilding America Now illegally received foreign funds and was connected to a scheme that Manafort allegedly lied about while purportedly cooperating with Mueller.

Natasha Bertrand throws a little shade on Dilanian's NBC report

Ken Dilanian is dumb. He gets easily spun by Republicans.

Natasha Bertrand is very good and knows her stuff. Look at her throw a little shade on Ken's report:

Senate Intelligence Committee aide tells me, re: NBC story, that right now there is "a common set of facts" that the panel is working with, "and a disagreement about what those facts mean."
They add: "We are closer to the end than the beginning, but we're not wrapping up."

So they are not near the end as Ken's article claims. And....

Re: the headline, "Senate has uncovered no direct evidence of conspiracy between Trump campaign and Russia," same aide says: "the word 'direct' is doing a lot of work here."

So they haven't found an oath between Putin and Trump written in blood. Who cares? The evidence is overwhelming.

OMG the Joy show is absolute shit right now

Holy shit I am fucking PISSED!

Joy on MSNBC just spent FOREVER talking about Schultz, and now they are going ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON about the Warren Native American nonsense.

This segment must have been going on for 15+ minutes and NOT ONE FUCKING SECOND spent on ANY of Warren's policy proposals.

Just "Indian, Indian, Indian, Indian, Indian, Indian"

This shit should be BOYCOTTED!

EDIT: And the segment is now over. Literally not one second spent on any of Warren's policy proposals.

EDIT2: The show has posted two short clips from this segment, to give you an idea. Remember, zero discussion of Medicare for All, taxing the super wealthy or ANY policies at all.

LOL. Why was Trump tweeting during his physical?

From the pool report as Trump leaves Walter Reed for his annual physical: "Hogan Gidley came into the hold room briefly. He didn't have a explanation for how President Trump was tweeting during his physical."

Kilimnik met Manafort in DC at the time of the inauguration

Breaking:

WOW: Per new court filing, KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK, the Russia intelligence-linked PAUL MANAFORT deputy, was in DC for TRUMP's inauguration, & met with Manafort about a Russia-Ukraine peace plan that we know envisioned a role for Russia-aligned former Ukrainian president YANUKOVYCH.

Edit:

With today's news (see my last tweet), we now know that Manafort was *simultaneously* (the same week) in touch with Kremlin agent Konstantin Kilimnik in person in DC *and* by phone to the Trump transition, in *both* cases on the topic of Russia. Relevant:

Could someone check the yearbooks of the Democratic primary candidates now?

Asking for a friend.
