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?

Dark comic fantasy running through my mind; Trump protects Manafort by expelling him to Russia with the other GRU assets ...

Not all that funny actually. I've thought of similar possibilities.
