When the story here is written, they'll go back to the day when Manafort was indicted in 2017 and look back at all the insanely-managed propaganda that was launched in a panic in the days to follow.
So many people who were already bad actors in American politics and business were hoping that nobody knew about their role in a rather unholy enterprise.

Mueller was appointed, sure - but that would take months to

OH HOLY SHIT THEY INDICTED MANAFORT AND GATES 😳
October 30, 2017.

Trump and the GOP tried everything they could to delay the inevitable exposure of their partnership with hostile foreign powers.

They fired Comey. They intimidated truth tellers. They underestimated Mueller.

And then...

Almost as quickly, Mueller struck again getting a plea deal out of Flynn - the key to so many treasonous acts.

The panic that set in was palpable among The Bad Guys. So they deployed yet more propaganda.

Qanon. Fake insider "tell all" books. Media hitpieces on anyone daring to make sense of Trump/Russia/China/Saudi/Mob.

Some black Ops too. Intimidation. Swatting. Troll crews. Doxxing.

All done in a panic once they realized they were sloppy and exposed.
Guess what?

They're still exposed.

P.S. They'll also look particularly hard at July 2016.

That is when some familiar faces made some new moves.

The forensic evidence is in the communications.

It's key to much of the story. Go back, and see who changed their tune then for no reason.

There's a reason...
P.P.S. Law enforcement should do a meta-analysis of comments sections of websites as well as social media and bulletin boards, 2009-2014.

Check initial tests of comments sections and social media harassment by overseas contractors, mostly live, non-automated.

Proof of concept.
A select group of vendors offered those black Ops services. Not all are small and unknown. Some were more R&D-lab-type bespoke services.

Audit records back 10 years.

You'll see a map toward the future. The truly bad actors appear later in that tangled web.
