Individual 1 appears to be a Trump:

"COHEN discussed the status and progress of the Moscow Project with Individual 1 on more than the three occasions"

and Cohen "briefed family members of Individual 1 within the Company about the project"

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5331…
Individual 2 claimed the president of Russia called about the deal

"The day after COHEN’s call with Assistant 1, Individual 2 contacted him, asking for a call. Individual 2 wrote to COHEN, 'It’s about [the President of Russia] they called today.'"

Cohen was special counsel to the owner of the company "Individual 1" -

This is a description that matches Donald Trump

"COHEN discussed the status and progress of the Moscow Project with Individual 1 on more than the three occasions"

1/Jeremy Bash, former DOD & CIA under Obama, said tonight that if #Mueller talked to Michael Cohen for >50 hrs (as reported by Emily J Fox @ Vanity Fair), Mueller's looking into Trump's personal financial history far beyond his campaign. For instance, he's asking if Russia funded
2/Trump's real estate dealings, and, if so, for how many yrs. And that, Mueller's looking deeply into the Trump Org's financial dealings, again, with Russia. To what degree was/is Trump a foreign operative? #TuesdayThoughts
3/ NB: Vanity Fair is reporting that Cohen has spoken with Special Counsel from Mueller's team and also from the SDNY and possibly another, which is unnamed. vanityfair.com/news/2018/10/m…

1. A great find by @tracybeanz in the George Papad.apoulos case. Seems that the Mueller Special Counsel team has filed a motion with the court to seal discovery & impose restrictions on what Pdop's defense team can reveal from discovery provided by the DOJ & FBI.
@tracybeanz 2. There a few issues with this that are very telling. For the uninitiated, Discovery is the process where the prosecution & law enforcement are required to hand over any exculpatory evidence that may show the defendant is not guilty of the crime.
#MuellerProbe
@tracybeanz 3. The first problem is that #papadopoulos has already plead guilty to the crime. SO this case should be heading toward sentencing but must now be going backward if the Special Counsel is handing over evidence that may show he is not guilty.
