Some on Twitter asked me: “What happens if Mueller issues a Report with No Collusion or Obstruction and President Trump doesn’t fire anyone? Is that a possibility?”
. . .“A person who was in regular contact with senior members” of the Trump campaign communicated with Gucifer 2.0. Indictment: justice.gov/file/1080281/d… Mueller is obviously holding back key details. Indictments stress that more is known to the GJ than is being revealed. . .
. . .The Gates and Alex van der Zwaan guilty pleas show strong ties from within the campaign to pro-Putin agents in Europe.
The Flynn guilty plea shows that while Obama was president, Flynn secretly coordinating sanctions with the Russians. The guilty plea mentions a “presidential transition team official,” who was also involved, but who Mueller didn’t name. . .
. . . I am quoting the Mueller indictments because (1) they are the result of extensive investigations and (2) Mueller believes he has evidence to support each fact he alleges beyond a reasonable doubt. . .
If we assume that the facts alleged are true, the question isn’t whether there was coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign. The question is how extensive the coordination was, and which crimes will be charged.
