Anyone know if Surber’s statement is true? “Lying to feds is not a crime in this case because it is nobody’s business what Manafort and Kilimnik discussed.”

Mueller grasps at another straw
Don Surber
The Washington Post: “Paul Manafort shared 2016 polling data with Russian employee, according to court filing” !!!
The New York Times: “Manafort Shared Trump Campaign Data With Russian Associate, Prosecutors Say” !!!
The Guardian: “Manafort accused by Mueller of sharing 2016 polling data with Russian linked to Moscow intelligence” !!!
So?
Is this illegal?
No.
Is the man a spy?
No.
Hillary hired a firm that worked with Kremlin officials and Russian spies to get dirt on The Donald.
That Russian Dossier is the basis of Bungling Bob Mueller’s witch hunt.
Guess what? The Washington Post shared polling data with Russian spies and anyone else with access to its web site. Ditto the Times and the Guardian.
Manafort is not charged with sharing polling data with anyone.
He is charged with lying to an increasingly Soviet-style investigation by one of the worst public officials in American history.
Bear in mind, taxpayers paid $5.8 million to settle out of court BBM’s 5 1/2-year harassment of an innocent man in the anthrax case.
The Associated Press report noted, “The filing says Mueller has accused Manafort of lying to investigators about sharing the data with Konstantin Kilimnik, a business associate who was indicted last year on charges that he tampered with potential witnesses.
“Kilimnik has denied ties to Russian intelligence and is not in U.S. custody.”
It was legal to talk to and share any legally obtained data with him. Lying to feds is not a crime in this case because it is nobody’s business what Manafort and Kilimnik discussed.
Wrap this embarrassment up already.
I’ve not yet made the same mental connection myself but an anon today believes that the Manafort “redactions” suggest that Manafort was pimping himself to Russians that were hired by Fusion GPS and HRC to feed “dirt” to Steele ... TBD ;)
