John Dowd, President Trump’s personal lawyer, went to some unheard of lengths to send money to Manafort and Gates for their legal defense, including pledging $25k out of his own pocket, WSJ reports. wsj.com/articles/ex-tr…
Previously NYT reported Dowd dangled the prospect of presidential pardons for Manafort and Flynn with their legal teams. Together, the stories paint a picture of Dowd engaging in conduct that appears to be calculated to dissuade witnesses from assisting a federal investigation.
Here’s that NYT story from March: nytimes.com/2018/03/28/us/…
WSJ has one source talking about having knowledge of Dowd’s purpose to impede the Mueller investigation from obtaining the cooperation of witnesses against his client. Seems pretty bad

This also needs context. More people are harmed by a federal government shutdown than federal employees. Native American communities, in particular, are immediately adversely affected. As the shutdown continues, the harms expand and multiply throughout the country’s population.
There are businesses that rely on the federal government as a customer—contractors of all sorts and sizes—and as a landlord—e.g. vendors at national parks. People who own and work for those businesses are harmed by the interruption of their income.
Scientists missing their grant funds, journalists who can’t access public records, inventors who can’t get their patents, entrepreneurs who can’t get business licenses ... This bit of context is, in all likelihood, barely scratching the surface of harms flowing from the shutdown.

The wording: “these occurrences happened during a period when Mr. Manafort was managing a U.S. presidential campaign”
Maloni’s ‘clarification’ would harmonize this Madrid trip to meet Kilimnik with one referred to in another filing from the Special Counsel, though; on October 31, 2017, they wrote Manafort had been to Madrid ”within the last year.” cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2017/image…
But, if Maloni is correct, it leaves open a rather large question: why would Manafort be sharing 2016 polling data with Kilimnik 2-3 months *after* the election (when, if you don’t work for Nate Silver, it’s of extremely limited use)?

You can copy the black highlighted “redactions” in the Manafort team’s filing, paste it somewhere else, and see what it says. Here’s the first one. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
The sentence @jonswaine reported is in the second redaction.
A few follow-ups for the completists among you.
-The Manafort team refiled its document to fix the redactions.
-The court has ordered the govt to file the "factual and evidentiary basis" of the five breaches it alleges next Monday 1/14; Manafort will have until 1/18 to reply
