        This whole thing reeks of parallel construction. Goldstone's June 3, 2016 SIGINT bait would have been flagged at the time. He left a digital audit trail from St Petersburg and Moscow at the time. Do you know if Rob recieved any payments or some form of compensation from GPS?

        It started as a known appropriate CI investigation, of what relevance is it to say "oooh, parallel construction"?

        It's important to note that the iPods in question are basically iPhones without the phone capability. They still have wifi so these could have browser history, email, and non-SMS texting. Also if Skype is installed, it can be used as a phone. They are much more than music.

        It should also be noted that digital cameras can be used to image documents by taking a pic of them. Cameras should totally be fair game.

        iPod touches are smartphones without the cell network (and there are apps for texting and VOIP calling). They also help avoid law enforcement location tracking since they aren’t constantly pinging cell towers.

        A client of mine used an iPod to record meetings. Who’s to say Manafort didn’t have a similar quirk as Cohen for making recordings. He’s not shown himself to be tech savvy. I’ll bet he can’t sync them so he kept buying more. Maybe he recorded audio of the June 9 meeting??! 🤔

        in reality, manafort didn't want anyone to know about his taylor swift fanboy-ism and about his crimes against the US, but to a lesser extent

        I know why they wanted the IPODs. I took my teen’s Iphone away b/c she was DMing w/ a severely messed up bad influence girl on Instagram. Still logged into her account, I’m shocked to see her still DMing this girl. How? She reactivated & used her old IPOD touch to keep DMing.
