1. A question

This is a pretty big screw-up. How could it have happened?

Could a paralegal or an intern have been given the responsibility to put the redactions into the filing but didn't know the proper method?

It definitely doesn't help Manafort.

Good. He deserves jail for the rest of his life.

7. I used to redact documents all the time and don't remember the exact details of the process but I do

remember it is a very easy process and easily QC'd. A paralegal should know the process and so should associates.

How can he say he didn't know what his own kids (and SIL) were doing? I don't think any jury would buy it.

Your comment was that Trump would act like Reagan did when Ollie North took the fall for him. Reagan said he didn't know what Ollie was doing and they let him off. There's so much more evidence stacked against Trump, how could they let him off when he tries to say he didn't know what his own kids were doing? He's never allowed them to make a decision, they always go to him for everything.
