Kirsch, who is almost 50, wears a turtleneck sweater, a jacket, pants and loafers, all in black. She seems to want to be invisible, or at least inconspicuous. As presumably anyone would want to be who has been pulled into the machinery of a global scandal, into the American investigation into the Russian contacts of Donald Trump's team.
FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed an indictment in Washington in October against the president's former campaign manager. The 31 pages of the "United States of America vs. Paul J. Manafort, Jr." reveal that the German woman played a central role in what has become the primary focus of the investigation: whether Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort, secretly, and therefore illegally, did lobbying work in the United States on behalf of the Ukrainian government before he joined Trump's team.
This also means Kirsch played a supporting role in the much larger drama -- the battle over the White House -- because the indictment is just one part of the bigger picture. It is intended to create pressure for Manafort to testify about other events. At issue is the question of whether the Trump team may have colluded with the Russian government during the election -- something that could cost the president his job.
