      Weissman and Rhee seemed to be the head people in the room, from my read of things.

      There was also one lawyer sitting at the government table (with AW, GA, JR, KF, and the two FBI guys) who I didn't recognize. Woman. Not Prelogar. Didn't catch her name when Weissman said it.

      Not Rhee or Freeny? Zainab Ahmad?

      Rhee and Freeny were also at the table. Not Ahmad. I've been looking through every reported list I can find of Mueller prosecutors and haven't found anyone but them and Prelogar. She definitely had an "sh" sound at the end of her name. She kind of looked like Kristen Wiig...

      Interesting. She also could be from a related case that we haven't IDed yet, one that (say) DC is handling.

      Yeah possible. She introduced herself to Zehnle and Westling when they came, so she probably wasn't in on plea negotiations (Downing hadn't showed up yet).

      Possible. The only photo I could find was her wedding announcement where she isn't very close to the camera and has dark brown hair. But it could be.

      The logic being she is on the IRA indictment. Heather Alpino is on both that and GRU but doesn't have a "sh" sound.

      Yeah she seems most likely. I missed her addition to the team, but looks like you wrote about it. Interesting that she got added after mostly working homicide.

      Heather Alpino or Rakosczy? I don't think either has been added to the team. They're just involved in one or both of the two cases that have already been handed off to Main DOJ. But either's presence there would suggest some interesting details.

          Can't speak for Marcy, but it's interesting to me that a lawyer we know was working on the IRA indictment was at the table with a bunch of Manafort-focused attorneys while everyone else from the SCO sat on the benches. Suggests a nexus we haven't seen in public reporting.

          I'm not 100% on Rakosczy but if it was either of them it was definitely her.

          Thanks. There are 3 campaign officials listed in the IRA indictment I keep wondering about. Though interestingly, those contacts all happened on August 18-19, when Manafort was being ousted.
