Wow... Ready for this one?

Paul Manafort's lawyers attempted to file a document as part of his court proceedings but accidentally uploaded the wrong attachment...

The accidental upload has a tasty little nugget in it.

1/

The doc is only one page and appears to be internal notes written by Manafort's legal team about the case chronology.

About halfway down the page is this savory little bite.

2/

That acronyms in that highlighted section:

DMI is Manafort's company. DMP International (DMI)

CS-1 in FBI parlance would appear to refer to "Confidential Source #1"

As in, "The person inside Manafort's firm who was helping Bob Mueller".

3/

This memo suggests that a mole inside Manafort's firm leaked documents to reporters that fueled the stories about Manafort getting large, laundered payments from Ukrainian co-conspirators.

4/

The memo also suggests Mueller and team tracked down who that mole was and subpoenaed the hard drive they had accessed to tip off reporters.

Those illicit payments and that evidence was central to Manafort's indictments.

5/

Makes ya wonder what else this "Confidential Source" kicked over to Bobby Three Sticks.

Manafort is so toast. He's cooked.

So is his partner, Rick Gates... and Gates doesn't seem keen on going to prison.

Here that sound? It's Rick Gates warming up to do some singing.

p.p.s. for no other reason than because I feel like laughing at this bumbling clown car of low-rent crooks, I shall now append a superfluous gif.
