Мюллер воскрес

Публикация (с купюрами) отчета Мюллера - принципиальная веха Рашагейта: https://viewfromll2.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/mueller-report.pdf

Небольшой анализ того, что есть и чего нет в этом отчете.

Что в отчете есть:

1. В первом томе - факты о российских хакерах и троллях, соответсвующие предыдущим обвинительным заключениям.

2. Там же - информация о многочисленных связях между избирательной кампанией Трампа и путинскими представителями. Не удалось, однако, найти достаточно доказательств для установления криминального характера этих связей.

Не удалось, к примеру, установить, зачем Манафорт систематически передавал внутренние данные кампании через Килимника Дерипаске.

Manafort instructed Rick Gates, his deputy on the Campaign and a longtime employee, 839 to provide Kilimnik with updates on the Trump Campaign-including internal polling data, although Manafort claims not to recall that specific instruction. Manafort expected Kilimnik to share that information with others in Ukraine and with Deripaska. Gates periodically sent such polling data to Kilimnik during the campaign. <…> Because of questions about Manafort's credibility and our limited ability to gather evidence on what happened to the polling data after it was sent to Kilimnik, the Office could not assess what Kilimnik (or others he may have given it to) did with it.



Сергей Приходько, с которым Дерипаска встречался на яхте, в отчете упоминается - как организатор несостоявшейся поездки Трампа в Петербург.

In late December 2015, Mira Duma-a contact of lvanka Trump's from the fashion industry-first passed along invitations for Ivanka Trump and candidate Trump from Sergei Prikhodko, a Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. On January 14, 2016, Rhona Graff sent an email to Duma stating that Trump was "honored to be asked to participate in the highly prestigious" Forum event, but that he would "have to decline" the invitation given his "very grueling and full travel schedule" as a presidential candidate. <...>
According to written answers from President Trump, Graff received an email from Deputy Prime Minister Prikhodko on March 17, 2016, again inviting Trump to participate in the 2016 Forum in St. Petersburg. Two weeks later, on March 31, 2016, Graff prepared for Trump's signature a two-paragraph letter declining the invitation. The letter stated that Trump's "schedule has become extremely demanding" because of the presidential campaign, that he "already ha[ d] several commitments in the United States" for the time of the Forum, but that he otherwise "would have gladly given every consideration to attending such an important event." Graff forwarded the letter to another executive assistant at the Trump Organization with instructions to print the document on letterhead for Trump to sign.
