And if you say, we don't know it was internal data, why would he need to give them public data when it's already public?

Inquiring minds want to know...what did the current president know and when did he know it?

Quote:Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been accused of sharing polling data during the 2016 presidential election with a business associate allegedly linked to Russian intelligence -- and then lying about it to prosecutors.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team said Manafort “lied about sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign.” The accusation was revealed by mistake in a defense filing Tuesday after the information wasn’t properly redacted as intended.

The filing sheds light on Manafort’s ties to Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian-Ukrainian businessman who was charged last year with tampering with potential witnesses. The U.S. claims Kilimnik is linked to Russian intelligence, which is accused of leading the election interference effort in 2016, but he denies those ties.

Manafort accused of sharing polling data with Russian allegedly linked to Kremlin

Accused
Sharing
Internal poling data
Alleged

So a person ACCUSED of SHARING INTERNAL poling data with a business associate ALLEGEDLY linked to Russian Intelligence.

We have someone who supposedly shared non classified information with someone we think is somehow connected to Russia.....

THAT certainly screams high crimes and misdemeanors doesn't it..... (sarcasm)

No, but so what? Nobody here is talking about articles of impeachment.

Then why continue the "special investigation"?

If this is the BEST it can come up with to "prove" Trump did something illegal than it's been a huge wast of time & taxpayer money.

If this is the BEST it can come up with then it's time to put this farce to a halt.
