EDIT: Breaking news has rendered the theory below significantly more likely: Manafort is confirmed to have been in constant contact with Trump's lawyers about everything he was discussing with Mueller.

The next question is now: Is this event one of the sources of Manafort's lies that were revealed yesterday and has Trump been tricked into telling those same lies?

Marcy Wheeler put forth a compelling argument last night that the sequence of events is related to the "Take Home Test" Trump just filled out:

Just about the only explanation for Manaforts actions are that as I suggested Trump was happy to have Manafort serve as a mole in Muellers investigation.

But Muellers team appears to have no doubt that Manafort was lying to them. That means they didnt really need his testimony, at all. It also means they had no need to keep secrets they could keep giving Manafort the impression that he was pulling a fast one over the prosecutors, all while reporting misleading information to Trump that he could use to fill out his open book test. Which increases the likelihood that Trump just submitted sworn answers to those questions full of lies.


Manafort and Trump continued to hold a Joint Defense Agreement after his plea, likely up to the present day.

If Trump did this - he is in reasonably deep shit. Mueller will now inform the judge of precisely what Manafort lied about as part of his sentencing. This is a requirement of criminal procedure, and it will all be in the public record. Whitaker cannot do anything to suppress it, as he otherwise would with anything else related to Trump, under the argument sitting presidents cannot be indicted. If these lies were replicated in Trump's written responses....that's ballgame.

It's very, very difficult to perjure yourself on a take home test answered with a team of lawyers, but Trump just might have pulled it off.

he's been on a tirade since Manafort's plea was cancelled due to him being caught lying multiple times

I think it's more of a recognition that the national GOP will never turn on Trump at this point, and they control the Senate which blocks any impeachment process. He's president until January 2021 like it or hate it.

the GOP universally backed Nixon until the evidence was just too strong. as long as there's still reasonable speculation about Trumpy's guilt they'll continue to back him.

The GOP of the 1970's is an entirely different animal from the GOP of the 2010's. That GOP would've dropped Trump like a bag of bricks within a year of his presidency.

The GOP still had a spine of some sorts then. Evangelicals are so morally bankrupt and so deep in on the Trump train that if the GOP abandons him the evangelical wing of the party will abandon them and they can't win elections without the bible beater vote.

I mean, it doesn't matter about attitudes, it matters about the GOP having morals and ethics and holding their own to even the basest of standards.... so yeah.... nothing will happen.

This further increases the odds of Marcy Wheeler's theory, which I elaborated here, that Mueller delayed Manafort's status update until after Trump submitted his Take Home Test because he was pretending not to know that Manafort was lying and had a hunch that he was giving Trump the confidence to tell those same lies.

Mueller will now soon be filing a sentencing report describing the documentary evidence proving the lies that caused him to terminate Manafort's plea deal. It is probable that this will include documentary proof of lies related to the Trump Tower Meeting including, one suspects, proof that Donald Trump lied about his advance knowledge of that meeting.

Buckle up.

Entrapment involves the person being put under duress. This isn't a case of that.

No, it wouldn't. As long as they aren't pressuring / bribing / etc someone into committing the illegal act, it isn't entrapment. Simply providing an opportunity doesn't qualify.
