TPM: Meet The Veteran Prosecutors Powering The Russia Probe

Link: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/special-counsel-probe-beefs-up-bigly

This from the overview of Andrew Weissman jumped out at me:

In the 1990s, Weissmann worked on a case involving Felix Sater, a Russian-born businessman with organized crime connections who would go on to become a business associate of Trump’s. Weissmann signed a deal Sater struck to become a government informant after he pleaded guilty in a $40 million fraud scheme, according to the Financial Times.


IOW, Sater has been close to Trump for years and Weissman knows all about everything that went on between them.

To me, Flynn and Sater are the keys to unlocking everything.
