Another BREAKING thing I wrote about several days ago. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/10/30/the-footnote-clearly-shows-manafort-was-hiding-willingness-to-reach-out-to-russia/ …https://twitter.com/rgoodlaw/status/925786043902840832 …

Also seems clear Clovis' testimony is one thing that Mueller locked in before releasing the Papa documents, meaning he expected discrepancy
And there's @joshtpm's point: Clovis (in named ref) was clearly directing the pro-Russian goal of campaign.http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-did-clovis-say-russia-was-a-principal-focus-of-the-campaign …

All of which is to say Papa will hurt Manafort plenty (esp wrt June 9 meeting) but his testimony seems focused more directly at Clovis.

I suspect Clovis is in some serious legal jeopardy. Toensing may not be helping him that much.

As I keep saying, her speciality is not defense lawyering but spin. Which raises big Qs why they decided they needed a spin artist for him.
-
and who's paying her bills?
-
Clovis is an ex-prof and radio host from Iowa who had a couple of failed runs at office. He can't afford a fancy lawyer, is my bet.
-
Toensing is fancy, just not from a lawyering perspective.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if he's getting institutional support from someone.
