    emptywheel Retweeted Donald J. Trump

    So did Manafort tell Trump yesterday he was about to be thrown in the pokey? Or did Trump learn this was coming via some other means (DOJ GJ sharing)?https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1003268646070874113 …

    emptywheel added,

    Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump
    ....Paul Manafort came into the campaign very late and was with us for a short period of time (he represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole & many others over the years), but we should have been told that Comey and the boys were doing a number on him, and he wouldn’t have been hired!

        Great question. I also think the Philadelphia Eagles announcement could be an attempt by Trump to distract from Manafort story.

        Replying to @JamesDissent @emptywheel

        First thought once the Manafort news broke was that Trump was throwing a distraction by cancelling. But less than 10 Eagles players were going to attend. One thing that has me leaning slightly to distraction is Trump going all-out in smearing Philly by saying they took a knee.

        Yep. If you'll notice, there seems to be a lot of coincidental things happening tonight: Trump attacking the Eagles, George Pap's wife going on Tucker looking for a pardon and... Manafort's witness tampering.

        You have to believe that if the President of the United States wants a channel, he can pretty much get a channel. Would be beautifully poetic if Mueller started nailing "leakers" ... ah ... dreams.

        Perhaps the information flows leading up to that tweet, gave Mueller all he needed. Thus time to isolate Manafort. Recall the Flynn plea deal is ready to be revealed, ditto Pinedo & Papadopoulos

        Surely a GJ wouldn't know he was communicating with witnesses via an app? Maybe Mueller team gave Manafort's lawyers a heads up?

        In order to utilize encryption in a messaging app, both parties need to be using it. And it will show whether the encryption is being used. When Persons D1 and D2 showed the messages to Mueller's team, that would have given them everything.

        Purely speculation but I think he learned it from Pompeo the day before he announced the D’Souza pardon. The pardon was a signal and when he started to get wound up about investigation and Manafort (again). They met twice on 5/30.pic.twitter.com/8RwsW7KL9G
