Former Special Counsel Bob Mueller left important information out of his report and now President Donald Trump has pounced.
A Ukrainian businessman, Konstantin Kilimnik, who worked for Paul Manafort, is a Russian intelligence asset, Mueller said in the report.
But what Mueller did not include in his report was key information that he had that showed that he was a “sensitive” asset for the United States State Department,” John Solomon reported.
Why Mueller’s team omitted that part of the Kilimnik narrative from its report and related court filings is not known. But the revelation of it comes as the accuracy of Mueller’s Russia conclusions face increased scrutiny.
The incomplete portrayal of Kilimnik is so important to Mueller’s overall narrative that it is raised in the opening of his report. “The FBI assesses” Kilimnik “to have ties to Russian intelligence,” Mueller’s team wrote on Page 6, putting a sinister light on every contact Kilimnik had with Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman.
What it doesn’t state is that Kilimnik was a “sensitive” intelligence source for State going back to at least 2013 while he was still working for Manafort, according to FBI and State Department memos I reviewed.
Kilimnik was not just any run-of-the-mill source, either.
He interacted with the chief political officer at the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, sometimes meeting several times a week to provide information on the Ukraine government. He relayed messages back to Ukraine’s leaders and delivered written reports to U.S. officials via emails that stretched on for thousands of words, the memos show.
The FBI knew all of this, well before the Mueller investigation concluded.
Alan Purcell, the chief political officer at the Kiev embassy from 2014 to 2017, told FBI agents that State officials, including senior embassy officials Alexander Kasanof and Eric Schultz, deemed Kilimnik to be such a valuable asset that they kept his name out of cables for fear he would be compromised by leaks to WikiLeaks.
“Purcell described what he considered an unusual level of discretion that was taken with handling Kilimnik,” states one FBI interview report that I reviewed. “Normally the head of the political section would not handle sources, but Kasanof informed Purcell that KILIMNIK was a sensitive source.”
“John Solomon: Factual errors and major omissions in the Mueller Report show that it is totally biased against Trump,” President Trump said.

Now finding all the omissions and in inaccuracies of Mueller’s report should throw the whole thing away and out of any Jurisprudence of legality, its still part of the COUP and is not worthy of law. Mueller should go to jail for exculpatory omissions and altering data to make Trump look guilt, He could not clear the president of a crime he did not commit , for this he must be disbarred and Weissmann too.

Is it a surprise, Mueller is “LIAR In Chief”? the dems no how to fill those positions. It’s hard to believe that as a nation, WE PAY THESE FOOLS TO WORK FOR US, and they definitely DON’T WORK FOR ‘we the people.’

I do suppose they left it out because it has no bearing on what Mueller as investigating.
Much stuff of no importance3 to the investigations in any investigation is left out because it has no bearing on what is being pushed.

Except once you name an individual as a ‘Russian Intelligence asset’ it implies that Manafort and by extension Trump were collaborating with Russian Intelligence when nothing of the kind was true. Words MATTER. Lying by omission is still LYING.Knowingly doing this is criminal.
“Much stuff of no importance to the investigations in any investigation is left out because it has no bearing on what is being pushed.”
This is exactly what dems have been accusing Trump of doing. “Collusion”. Omitting that Kilimnik was a “sensitive” intelligence source for State going back to at least 2013 was a deliberate act to alter perception and make Trump look guilty.
Democrats are two-faced lying assholes and should be prosecuted.
