There is a major piece missing in the SpyGate scandal - Why did (they) start setting up Manafort before they knew he would be hired by the Campaign? John Solomon reported in The Hill that in January of 2016 that Obama's NSC, FBI, State Dept and DOJ officials requested a meeting in DC with  top Ukrainian prosecutors. A Ukrainian Embassy official named Andrii Telizhenko has said that what the US officials wanted was to help locate evidence about the Party of Region's payments and dealings with Americans.   Without specifically mentioning Paul Manafort, he would be the American that took those payments and did those dealings. But the FBI already interviewed Manafort, and then closed the case back in 2014, as reported here. But Manafort wasn't hired by the Trump campaign until 29 March of 2016,  which almost 4 months later.    How did the coup planner's know that Manafort would be hired?
