explained yesterday by ex- FBI deputy director of counterintelligence, Frank Figliuzzi. Someone's been coordinating the lies between Mueller, the press, congress, etc, because people, notably including Cohen, Corsi, Stone, and Manafort are, or were, telling the same lies. These men are notably known to routinely come to Individual 1 for instructions, careful to ingratiate and avoid his wrath.
Ringmaster might not seem a likely role for a mentally disordered buffoon who doesn't understand or remember for 5 minutes 9/10 of what goes on around him -- for lack of interest -- but he is extremely interested in his money and himself. We heard that focus in him when we listened to him give crisp instructions to Cohen about paying off a woman.
So, Figliuzzi's theory is that Individual 1 is the one who's been instructing all the others on the lies they were all to tell about the Moscow Project, contact with Russia, Russian sanctions, stolen emails and so on. I like it. Also his accompanying theory that Individual 1 is about to become Defendant 1.
John Heilemann agreed and pointed out that all the Russia and election stuff really is part a life built on fraud and, potentially, financial crime and that Individual 1 is trying to protect the one thing he cares about: himself and his money. He did leave door open to the coordination involving others in this dysfunctional but tight knit "low level, low rent, cheesy crime family."
