1. How Manafort’s 2016 meeting with a Russian employee at New York cigar club goes to ‘the heart’ of Mueller’s probe wapo.st/2N4B5t7?tid=ss…
2. I went back to look at the transcript and it occurred to me Konstantin Kilimnik could have been under a FISA surveillance at the Havana Club. Another intelligence service could have covered him. Manafort would be noticed in NY by then. Tips go out. Team quickly tasked there.
3. I was a NYC hotel and restaurant manager. I've witnessed live surveillance going back to the 1980's. Trump would have had a lot of watchers. I think Mueller has it all on intercepts. He's just playing with Trump. Just imagine if they said something at the meeting?
4. But spooks will never concede that was how they learned. They reverse engineer everything to avoid having to expose methods. They just needed Gates. Manafort may have just been a way to tickle the Trump wire. They know Trump is dirty. They need the other players.
5. And before anyone is shocked that counter-intelligence would listen to Trump's people in public remember they were with a Russian intelligence officer. They get surveillance. Only a dope doesn't know that. 😎
