Here's the evidence refuting claim that Paul Manafort held ‘secret talks' with Julian Assange

On Tuesday The Guardian published a 'blockbuster' story claiming that onetime 2016 Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who has been convicted of unrelated financial crimes by special counsel Robert Mueller, "Secretly met" three times with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadoran Embassy in London.

Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort held secret talks with Julian Assange inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and visited around the time he joined Trump's campaign, the Guardian has been told.

Sources have said Manafort went to see Assange in 2013, 2015 and in spring 2016 - during the period when he was made a key figure in Trump's push for the White House.

We're being told that Manafort had a trio of "Secret meetings" with Assange at the same time we're being told that he 'lied' to Muller and has broken his plea agreement - all with an eye towards 'proving' the claim that Manafort is the "Link" between the emails hacked/stolen/downloaded from Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta's account during the 2016 election cycle.

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had been under FBI surveillance since before the 2016 presidential election, CNN reported.

How could have had those meetings without the FBI's knowledge, since he was being watched? And who believes if it were true these secret 'Russia-related' meetings took place that information would not have leaked much sooner - like more than two years ago as Trump looked to lock up the GOP presidential nomination, given all of the media leaks aimed at damaging his campaign and his presidency?

The one thing to always keep in mind regarding Mueller's probe is that it is political, not criminal or even actionable - because there has never been any evidence that POTUS Trump was 'colluding' with Russia or was otherwise involved in illegal tampering leading up to the 2016 election.
