"Paul Manafort’s Russian protege Konstantin Kilimnik flew in for GOP platform change negotiations"

Explosive memos suggest that a Trump-Russia quid pro quo was at the heart of the GOP's dramatic shift on Ukraine

An unverified dossier provided to US intelligence officials alleges that President-elect Donald Trump "agreed to sideline" the issue of Russian intervention in Ukraine during his campaign after Russia promised to feed the emails it stole from prominent Democrats' inboxes to WikiLeaks.

The dossier was part of an opposition-research project conducted by a former British spy, Christopher Steele, at the behest of anti-Trump Republicans and, later, Democrats. Steele was the former head of the Russia desk in Moscow for Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6. The memos he wrote made their way to US intelligence officials sometime last year.

Yes, the GOP platform was changed in exchange for Russian help. Whether that help was limited to hacking and release of info via Wikileaks we don't know yet. I suspect the warrant on the server links to two Russian banks was looking for financial assistance as well.

Seeking Russian help against domestic opponents ... Trump was following the trail Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy blazed.
