And before the other law nerds beef this thread, yes, co-conspirator is presumed to intend the natural & probable consequences of whatever he agreed to do. E.g., murder when you rob bank with guns.

But “winning” can’t possibly be a natural and probable consequence of “losing.”

So my working hypothesis is there were two separate conspiracies, the Venn diagram overlap area of which contains a tiny few ppl (Manafort, Junior, Kush, Ivanka).

Trump Senior had a conspiracy to get money by not winning.

Putin had a conspiracy to control the USA.

Now do another paradigm shatter. When you imagine the “Trump circle” and the “Putin circle,” are you imagining all the ppl named “Trump” or married to a Trump in the “Trump circle”? Yeah, you are.

Move all of them except Trump Senior Moment to the overlap area.

I’m doing this totally off the cuff, as I got no sleep last night (for different reasons) but sometimes that makes me get insights.

But what I’m seeing now is a two-way double-cross. With Trump Senior intending to double-cross Putin’s circle (by losing). . .

. . .then Junior/Kush/Vank joining Putin’s circle to double-cross Trump (by conspiring for him to win).

(Now I intend to eat an entire pot of what may be the last good collard greens of the season, and eye my mentions.)
