    Default Why was Trump's campaign sharing polling data with Russia?

    1. To tank his own presidency?
    2. For no reason whatsoever, just felt like it.

    I'm totally at a loss...can't think of a single reason.





    "from March to August 2016, when Mr. Manafort worked for the Trump campaign, Russia was engaged in a full-fledged operation using social media, stolen emails
    and other tactics to boost Mr. Trump, attack Mrs. Clinton and play on divisive issues such as race and guns."

    Oh, that helps.

    As a top official in President Trump’s campaign, Paul Manafort shared political polling data with a business associate tied to Russian intelligence, according to a court filing unsealed on Tuesday. The document provided the clearest evidence to date that the Trump campaign may have tried to coordinate with Russians during the 2016 presidential race.

    Mr. Manafort’s lawyers made the disclosure by accident, through a formatting error in a document filed to respond to charges that he had lied to prosecutors working for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, after agreeing to cooperate with their investigation into Russian interference in the election.

    Deep Root Analytics, a conservative media firm, has confirmed that it owned the exposed data, Gizmodo reported. The data was discovered on June 12 by Chris Vickery, a cyber risk analyst at UpGuard, which characterized the discovery as “perhaps the largest known exposure of voter information in history.”

    "The document also revealed that during the campaign, Mr. Manafort and his Russian associate, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, discussed a plan for peace in Ukraine. Throughout the campaign and the early days of the Trump administration, Russia and its allies were pushing various plans for Ukraine in the hope of gaining relief from American-led sanctions imposed after it annexed Crimea from Ukraine.

    Prosecutors and the news media have already documented a string of encounters between Russian operatives and Trump campaign associates dating from the early months of Mr. Trump’s bid for the presidency, including the now-famous meeting at Trump Tower in Manhattan with a Russian lawyer promising damaging information on Hillary Clinton"
