BTW there's an interesting interview with Alexandra Chalupa on Gaslit Nation (by her sister) gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans… which may shed light on opening of Manafort investigation. Alexandra Chalupa looms large in @stranahan rogues' gallery.
@stranahan 2/ one of the puzzles in relation to Crossfire Hurricane and also the interaction between Ciaramella and the Ukrainians is the apparent commissioning of the opening of investigation info Manafort in Ukraine at Jan 19, 2016 meeting with Ukr prosecutors hosted by Ciaramella.
@stranahan 3/ in Jan 2016, Manafort wasn't objectively on the horizon of the Trump campaign. However, Dem operative Alexandra Chalupa, according to interview, was absolutely maniacal about Manafort as an evildoer who was a secret link between Putin and Trump already.
@stranahan 4/ so when Manafort actually became Trump campaign manager in March 2016, it was as though Chalupa's demonology had become real. She sounds as deranged as Louise Mensch or Papadopoulos on his "set up". But in real time, it probably seemed to Dems that she'd been vindicated.
