        would you be willing to indulge any speculation that part of Manafort's service to his patrons included recording himself talking conspiracy with Trump? And that could possibly explain the extreme interest in getting evidence from ipods tossed?

        That is precisely why I'm so interested in the iPods, yes.

        Some of Manafort's daughters' hacked texts feel relevant to this possibility, especially this one:https://twitter.com/kenvogel/status/1003296131059765248 …

        Rosatom Ulbricht 🔥 added,

        MANAFORT and TRUMP "are literally living in the same building and...they go up and down all day long hanging and plotting together" -- text from one of Manafort's daughters to the other on 4/7/16, just days after their dad was hired by the campaign.

        I actually suspect (with a bit of reason) that those texts may have come from Russia. Not all the disinfo was pro-Trump.

        yea, looking back at Vogel's original politico article, it seemed like that was a possibility. But, it seems like Vogel went thru an effort to confirm their authenticity? or you believe they are fake?

        if it was indeed an RU hack on Manafort's family -- seems like that may have been intended as a threat....

        I'm surprised it's that few given that both posts today were written in the style of a rant, which tends to come quickly but with many errors.

        satisfyingly incisive—if lawfare weren’t so fixated on presenting an appearance of judicious skepticism their actual analysis would be more convincing

        Replying to @emptywheel

        Whatever their previous ties, the Krompromat in play *is* the acceptance of help in the election. Though the thought of Trump being squeezed into a corner by Putin and Mueller with a complicit GOP Congress is horrifying. (Also why I’m in no hurry with Mueller before January)

        Good article. I hope Mueller gets there first.

        Liked this a lot - but for emphasis re June mtg: Don Jr says meeting was about dirt vs sanctions, & supposedly a dud, but 1) campaign already knew RU had specific dirt (papa in LDN) 2) Trump already publicly favored sanctions relief (mariia in Vegas) on top, add Ike's comments

        Exactly! They left clues everywhere to make sure it would be easy to expose Trump if he crossed them.
