The Mueller report omitted a Russia-linked figure was a State Department operative

  Last week it was reported that the Mueller report contained the transcript of a voicemail left by one of Donald Trump’s lawyers to Donald Trump which was incomplete and deceptively edited to make it seem incriminating. When something like this occurs it causes one to question the validity of the whole report because if there is one omission or edit what else has been changed?

  But it gets worse because now it appears as if a second “error” of omission has occurred, this time in the form of the description of a man who worked for Paul Manafort that the report says had ties to Russia. Here is more:

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.

  That sounds pretty bad, doesn’t it? Well, that was because it was supposed to. But there is more to this story which was left out of the Mueller report.

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.

  I think it is pretty obvious why part of the narrative was missing from the report but I digress, back to the story:

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.

  So Kilimnik was actually a spy working for Barack Obama’s administration against Russia and, as the story I linked to above states, the FBI knew all about this before Robert Mueller’s report was concluded and still decided to misrepresent his ties to Russia to make Paul Manafort and Donald Trump look dirty.
