Remember when judge on Manafort case wanted an undefeated copy of the scope memo and there was a big production about it and why would they need to classify the scope?  Judge seemed fairly settled down after seeing it until Weissman pulled some new crap. I have wondered if Manafort was their sacrificial lamb (deserving no doubt) to let Weissman and Rhee go crazy and abuse prosecutorial power as they are known to do and set precedent for other cases of embezzling money, links to Ukraine and China and not registering as a foreign agent lobbyist etc etc
