Konstantin V. Kilimnik had signatory authority over some of Mr. Manafort's accounts in Cyprus.

Kinda a big deal that...


"And Mr. Gates testified that Konstantin V. Kilimnik, a Russian who prosecutors claim is tied to Russian intelligence, had signatory authority over some of Mr. Manafort’s accounts in Cyprus."

Konstantin V. Kilimnik - person A

"Person A" listed in court documents filed against Manafort, which allege that Person A has ties to Russian intelligence agencies, or is a Russian intelligence operative.

crossed the desk of Wilbur Ross at Bank of Cyprus? Hummmm?

Let's consult the interwebs, shall we?

Wilbur Ross, the Trump administration’s new commerce secretary, presided over a deal with a Russian businessman with ties to Vladimir Putin while serving in his previous role as vice-chairman of the Bank of Cyprus.

The transaction raises questions about Ross’s tenure at the Cypriot bank and his ties to politically connected Russian oligarchs. It comes amid confirmation by the FBI that it is investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow to influence the outcome of the presidential election.

*snip*
In a separate management decision under Ross’s watch, Bank of Cyprus gave Alfa Bank, Russia’s largest private bank, until 2019 – four more years than originally planned – to pay back a €100m debt it owed in connection to Alfa’s purchase of the bank’s Ukrainian assets. Alfa Bank still owed Bank of Cyprus €57m as of the end of September. Bank of Cyprus said the extension was provided because of the “worsening geopolitical situation in Ukraine”.


Who was it again, that was lobbying for Ukraine?

Your post is still welcome.

Wilbur will probably het his time in the barrel.

This ultimately about a RUSSIAN AGENT having access to an account owned by 45's CAMPAIGN MANAGER.
