Who is the indictment for?

9. Someone's personal assistant.

I've had some glimpses inside of what goes on in DC's politics. Long since, I've given up resisting the urge to correct statements like "Paul Manafort contacted X and met at Y" and simply gone along with it.

But that's not how it really works. When we toss around the names of DC heavy-hitters, what we're really talking about is an administrative team--at least one person and sometimes dozens--who execute the plans. They maintain the contact information, do the back-channel and low level planning, organize and know the details, make the flight and hotel reservations, clean up the information trail, and so on.

Many of those heavy hitters have more than one staff, one for their personal work and one for their professional office, and sometimes one for their criminal work, and when that's the case, there's always someone who ties it all together, who knows or can find out who was responsible for what.

That's who I would identify and nail to the wall first. Do that and everyone who contacted that person, which includes everyone involved, says, "oh, shit!"
