drdindA Nov. NYT Magazine article that dives deep into released Mueller report documents & shows that Manafort was cutting a deal with the Russians to promise standing down for occupation of eastern Ukraine in exchange for Russians helping Trump win in 2016.
This was reported with no sourcing in a tweet that was linked here on Mastodon, saying Andrew Weissman was reporting on this yesterday on MSNBC (Not so - try searching social media or googling it!). It was discussed on @DeadlineWH
by one of the NYT reporters yesterday.
This does seem to be a big deal in tying the Trump election in 2016 to longer term Russian goals. It is also a lesson - give your sources when you toot or tweet!
DidiQ@Drdind this is where I read about it.
