Hm, why might Van Der Zwaan have been in contact with Gates in mid-August 2016pic.twitter.com/gjgMs6EpRz

You think the cash ledger is a red herring? (Or are we talking past one another)
No. But I think pointing to August publication of cash ledger to explain innocuous August text that was not destroyed is not a winning argument.

Not making an argument in the slightest. Noting a coincidence with potential explanatory capability as a possible hypothesis for the reconnection.
-
Except your coincidence is not one. Suggesting that maybe keep looking for something that is actually co-incident with an event in September?
-
All I'm saying is you don't have a coincidence. You have a likely explanation for a coverup a month later, but the Q of timing remains unexplained and obviously key.

Here is a key point as to timing. On Aug. 25 2016 the Kyiv Post reported a memo linking Manafort to the Skadden report more closely than had been known before, in the midst of an ongoing investigation into the former Justice Minister. https://www.kyivpost.com/article/content/ukraine-politics/memo-manafort-worked-on-report-that-justified-tymoshenko-imprisonment-421671.html …pic.twitter.com/kxax1cZjHh

And some time in September 2016 the Ukrainian government sent a request to Comey for assistance in interviewing Manafort as part of the investigation into the Justice Minister. https://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/17/politics/manafort-ukraine …pic.twitter.com/o4hGu1OOZE

Also worth remembering that the FBI may have had a FISA warrant on Manafort by that point.https://www.cnn.com/2017/09/18/politics/paul-manafort-government-wiretapped-fisa-russians/index.html …

I don't think destroyed is the right word, if it involved the http://DMPint.com server the FBI has it

It could just be a coincidence, but couldn't that last innocuous text be something like "ok, thanks" at the end of a conversation about the ledger?
