2017 JUN 19 - WEISSMAN joined Special Counsel
2017 OCT 30 - MANAFORT and Rick GATES arrested/indicted by FGJ
In Exhibit A - Weissman signs off on a statement that MANAFORT was under investigation PRIOR TO the formation of the special counsel. For some reason, MUELLER brings in WEISSMAN into the office of the special counsel, and then WEISSMAN scoops the MANAFORT case which had already been under investigation under the umbrella of the office of SPECIAL COUNSEL.
Media spins the MANAFORT arrest to further the RUSSIA/TRUMP narrative. But later, the indictments have nothing to do with the narrative.
The speculation off of this timeline is pretty dark. What I would like to know is if MANAFORT was recruited to be planted once the opposition party learned that a young inexperienced man (PAPAD) was being considered to join the Trump team (inexperience that could be exploited).
Or was MANAFORT threatened w/arrest for the ongoing investigation being conducted by WEISSMAN (Fraud/Criminal Divison DOJ), inserted as a spy, and once his handler got back information the complete the PAPAD circle… scandals published for MANAFORT to get him out of there.
Of course I don't know….. but the time line sure smells fishy.
