Despite what Ken Delanian was implying (in his first breathless reports), the fact that the Manafort sentencing agreement lacks evidence about Trump/Russian collusion doesn't mean there wasn't any.
All it means is that such evidence is not included in this particular document. But it didn't need to be. This is a sentencing document and all it had to do was justify Manafort's sentence.

The idea that we'd pretend these three possibilities are *equally possible* when we know Manafort secretly offered in-kind value to the Kremlin during the campaignoffered it to both Kilimnik (GRU) and Deripaska (Kremlin)in exchange for "getting whole" is *really bad journalism*
