What Mueller's Most Conspicuous Silence Suggests
But the emails!
It’s not just an increasingly worn rejoinder to any story of chaos and disaster in the Trump administration. It’s also an interesting question to ask about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. The internal scale of the probe remains unknown to anyone outside, but based on what Mueller has revealed publicly in court documents, we can get a good idea of some of what he is considering.
Through indictments and plea deals, Mueller has gone after Russians for conducting a social-media campaign to influence the election. He has targeted Paul Manafort and Rick Gates for actions outside of that he had been authorized to investigate whether Manafort colluded with Russians to influence the election. Finally, Mueller is believed to be extremely interested in whether President Trump obstructed justice in his firings of Michael Flynn and James Comey.
