We now know that Manafort was reporting everything that went on with him and Mueller's team to Trump's lawyers. Here is my what if's: First, why did Manafort's deal not include that he could not divulge everything he talked about with Mueller's team to anyone as other Mueller's deals had included? It is interesting that Mueller knowing who he was dealing with, would not include it. First what if, maybe he expected Manafort to do as he has done and report things to the Trump lawyers. Mueller has seemed to be several steps ahead of everyone in this investigation. Second what if, Mueller might have let Manafort think that they had no info on what Trump knew about the Trump tower meeting. Trump's lawyers receiving such info would have had Trump include the fact that Trump had no idea about the meeting in Trump's written answers to Mueller. Third what if, Mueller, had proof that Trump did have prior knowledge of the impending Trump Tower meeting, Trump would have committed perjury through his written answers. Trump, Manafort, and all of the lawyers could be called before the Grand Jury and required to answer questions or plead the 5th. Certainly a lot of what if's, but also logical if Mueller knew or thought he knew what was going on with Manafort and Trump.
