WIRED: Mueller's Investigation involves not only Americans, but Sr campaign, transition & WH aides

[kpete]

What Mueller Knows – and What He’ll Pursue Next

Garrett Graff: “Examining the public bread crumbs of Mueller’s investigation, though, gives some indication about what’s left that we don’t know—the active and ongoing investigative work that Mueller’s team is pursuing that hasn’t seen the light of day. In broad buckets, there are at least eight significant areas of the investigation yet to be penciled in by Mueller.”

...............

The sheer volume of what Robert Mueller knows is staggering. Perusing his various court filings since last September makes clear he knew the individual changes Paul Manafort made in a specific Microsoft Word document; he knew that Dutch lawyer Alex van der Zwaan was lying about what he did on behalf of Manafort and Gates; he knew the specific times Russia military intelligence officers were searching specific words way back in 2016; he knew the specific cryptocurrency transactions used to register the Russian intelligence agency accounts; he knows what the hired trolls at the Internet Research Agency were writing in emails to their family members in 2017; he knew the messages Manafort was sending on encrypted messaging services.

SPOILER ALERT: NEARLY all of these open avenues involve not only Americans, but sometimes even senior campaign, transition, and White House aides to Donald Trump.

1. I hope they all wind up in prison.

I hope all of their assets are seized and they are left penniless !!!!!!!!!!

[Blue_Adept]

2. And that's without touching on the deep Russian bank links going back at the very least a decade

that they were bragging about.

[vi5]

3. And all of it will mean nothing....

.....at least as far as Trump and his Maga cultists are concerned, and as long as we have a Republican Senate which is the foreseeable future and long enough for Trump to do a great deal of damage.

4. Hammer coming down.

6. You... You are killing cockroaches with a hammer???

9. They can survive a nuclear blast, so why not?

15. I've environmental concerns about pesticides. :)

16. What is your opinion on chainsaws?

19. My medication forbids the operation of such equipment.

5. Just a reminder what Mueller is planning to do:

About 2 months ago he asked the Justice Department for 75 sets of blank forms for filing indictments.

Robert Mueller wants to write 75 indictments...

[Crabby Appleton]

21. Not exactly

You're confusing subpoenas with indictments. Mueller has a few time asked for blank subpoenas from the court. This is the customary practice for subpoenas to be issued, they're basically a form letter to demand testimony and/or records, they are not an accusation of an offense. An indictment is a specific accusation of specified offenses, they are not fill-in-the-blank documents.

7. Fingers crossed for Pence.

[rurallib]

10. yes indeedy! My first thought also.

Mikey should have used protection or just said "NO"

Mother won't be happy.

[Cracklin Charlie]

28. Uncross those fingers.

Pence chose Flynn, against advice of Congress.

Flynn already plead guilty.

Pence won’t escape.

8. I hope the American people remember

How trump and the Republicans has attacked this country for an enemy at his and their sentencing hearings.

11. The 1st & 2nd paragraphs from the first link I think tell a story on Comey

"When the history books are written, Rod Rosenstein might just be the most interesting figure of the Russia investigation—the beleaguered deputy attorney general whose memo in his first days on the job was used to justify the firing of James Comey."

"Rod Rosenstein wrote the letter used to fire Comey"...."After that he quickly appointed Robert Mueller as the special counsel..."

My feeling is that Comey knew he was going to hurt Hillary's campaign, and he was willingly going to conspire with the man-child's campaign to throw the public into the man-child's side. He then has tried to portray himself as a righteous and honest guy, wrote a book sort of condemning the man-child, blah, blah, blah...I don't think he is either honest of sincere.

QUESTION: Did Rosenstein know, and understood, that Comey had to go because with Comey the investigation would not be fair, that Comey would be willing, despite Comey's comments and actions after he was fired, make a mockery of the investigation and help the man-child survive it? Why do I think Rosenstein risked the criticism he knew he would get from writing the letter, but understand at the same time that in order to get to the truth it was a worthy risk?

Has anyone heard of Comey? He has been very quiet.

13. wish we could rec a comment

excellent insight

20. I read yesterday

That Mike Cohen could be the next John Dean. The Judge released 888,000 pages that can be used. You can bet Prosecutors will be reading them.

[Pluvious]

23. Most intriguing theory, consider making this a post one its own

I don't recall ever seeing this idea suggested before,
it does IMHO have merit.

We're certainly not privy to the first hand knowledge of Comey's conduct that Rosenstein had.

[paleotn]

25. Interesting...

You may be on to something concerning Comey. Sure, he's done interviews, written a book, he's really a stand up guy, yada, yada, yada. He's even snowed some on the left with his rhetoric. But one thing I have yet to get out of my craw is why the hell he did what he did weeks before the election. It was either blatantly political or patently stupid, and I don't think Comey is a stupid guy. No matter how much he tries to snow us, that simple fact won't go away.

12. "Eight Significant Areas"; Actually 9.

1. How do Erik Prince, the Seychelles, and the inauguration fit in?

2. How do the UAE, Qatar, and Jared Kushner fit in?

3. What role did Sergey Kislyak, the GOP convention, and the finances of the Russian Embassy play?

4. How do Roger Stone, Wikileaks, and other Americans and Brits fit into the GRU indictment?

5. What did Mueller learn from George Papadopoulos, Rick Gates, and Michael Flynn?

6. What’s in those 291,000 Michael Cohen documents?   {I think there are now or soon will be close to 2,000,000 Cohen documents in the hands of Mueller's team.}

7. What’s up with that Trump Tower meeting?

8. How relevant is Cambridge Analytica and was there a coordinated effort by the Trump campaign or associates to gather intelligence or untoward opposition research on Hillary Clinton?

9. Do people like Carter Page and Felix Sater matter?

[dalton99a]

17. +1

26. Yep

18. Which should surprise no one.

What a terrifying day this is - and as I write this, we’re all in the dark about what this monster has done and given away to sputum, thinking they’re gonna be just fabulously great pals.

[ailsagirl]

22. The plot thickens

[kimbutgar]

24. I hope they have them on emails, audio and video

That will be the only we will be able to break “ some” of the people in the treason weasel’s cult.

29. Go for the jugular, Mr. Mueller.

This treasonous monster-beast must be stopped, must be killed.




It's becoming more and more difficult for me to be civil to the republicans I know.
