A separate internal document written by Ecuadors Senain intelligence agency and seen
by the Guardian lists Paul Manaford [sic] as one of several well-known guests. It also
mentions Russians.

In a 2017 BBC report, Therese Wong, a digital guru for the Trump campaign walks journalist Jamie Bartlett through the San Antonio office, showing him the room out of which Cambridge Analytica operatedthe brain of the operation, she says. Nearby were desks where Facebook employees sat embedded with the Trump campaign.
Wong said in the video that people from Google, YouTube, and Facebook were the campaigns hands-on partners in helping utilize their platforms. When youre pumping in millions and millions of dollars to these platforms, youre going to get white club [sic] treatment, she said. Without Facebook, we wouldnt have won. I mean Facebook really and truly put us over the edge.

(22,665 posts)I wonder if there's a pending Russian collusion problem for Mike Pence in the brewing.
Remember, Nancy Pelosi will be third in line in succession in January, behind the president and vice president.

(70,447 posts)It might be that Putin picked both the President and Vice President of the U.S..
BTW right after the election it was Pence hitting the panic button about people
using Russia to delegitimize the outcome.

(62,265 posts)The meeting happened and Ecuador knew about it, and of course the CIA, MI6, whole nine yards, as, you know, all embassies are tapped. Nothing Assange has done for the past half a decade has gone without it being recorded.
Apparently the editors of the article recently visited Ecuador 10 days ago and they seem to think that's reason for people to doubt the story (as if Ecuador is making it up). No, you go on a trip like that to confirm claims made in person. If Ecuador has pictures, it's something else.
Also, some people on Reddit pointed out Muller noted how Manafort dressed in his report. A clue and nod to this visit.
