This filing Mueller filed last night is just the first of two. The other one may have even more interesting details (and/or be accompanied by other actions).
Sorry: Let me correct (X2). Mueller has two filings in Manafort's challenge to his authority coming, one Monday, one Wednesday. This lays groundwork for that. What he has basically shown is that Manafort was EMPLOYING a GRU officer while working for Trump campaign.
Note Mueller got an extension on those two filings bc (in part) he had to coordinate a lot w/Rosenstein and do *other things* in this investigation. They bought one more day at GJ w/extension that would allow them to incorporate Gates' cooperation.
Here's the part that says that Kilimnik (Person A, who allegedly was still a GRU officer in 2016) worked AT Manafort's company.pic.twitter.com/FevNP1Djtp
This why the limited hangout Manafort sold WaPo on Kilimnik is a very stupid idea. Manafort kept in touch w/Trump, and kept in touch with Kilimnik at least through November. Manafort masterminded (or passed on) anti-Steele effort to challenge Mueller.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/at-height-of-russia-tensions-trump-campaign-chairman-manafort-met-with-business-associate-from-ukraine/2017/06/18/6ab8485c-4c5d-11e7-a186-60c031eab644_story.html …
What the WaPo story DOES seem to make clear is Mueller is moving closer to going after Manafort's wife, who was involved in the money laundering/business. This has been predictably coming for a very long time.
My guess is Manafort is making a last ditch bid for a pardon. Q: If Kilimnik is a long time GRU officer, did Skripal know that? Did he cooperate w/Mueller on that?
If someone gets a presidential pardon but then his wife gets charged in all the crimes he just got pardoned on, does he lose spousal privilege (on top of 5A protection against POTUS)?
Of course this filing also suggests Greg Craig was talking with former or current GRU officer Konstantin Kilimnik in fall 2016. But I imagine he was pretty fucking cooperative by that point. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4424937-Sentencing-Memorandum.html …pic.twitter.com/CSl6Xa2xbu
Do you think Mueller is filing today is because he's worried about Trump trying to shut down the investigation?
Yes. Trump’s schedule this morning is incredibly light. Perfect morning for a massacre and some pardons.
Trump's schedule every day in incredibly light.
Compared to Bush Junior or Obama? For sure. Laziest president in memory. But even compared to yesterday his today schedule is light.
He must have a lot of TV shows DVRed that he's got to watch.
During the Enron case Weissmann went after Andy Fastow’s wife, Lea and he plead guilty pretty quickly thereafter.
When's the second one coming?
That is curious
