We told you Robert Mueller was about to drop the hammer

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

When the Senate Intelligence Committee’s Republican Chairman Richard Burr made the absurd announcement earlier this week that his committee had found no direct evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the election, Palmer Report made two predictions. First, it would have no impact on anything. Second, it meant that Burr and Team Trump were expecting Special Counsel Robert Mueller to drop the hammer at any moment.

Sure enough, Senator Burr’s claims haven’t ended up moving the needle in any noticeable way. More importantly, it turns out Burr really was making the “no evidence of collusion” claim because he knew that he was about to lose the ability to make such a claim. As Chairman, Burr has access to classified and sensitive information, and he must have known what was coming, but sure enough, Robert Mueller just produced proof of collusion and worse.

In a court filing this evening, Robert Mueller revealed that he’s obtained proof that Roger Stone was communicating with WikiLeaks and Russian government hackers during the 2016 election, for the purpose of transporting stolen information. In other words, not only does this prove that Stone committed treason (or its peacetime equivalent), it proves that the uppermost levels of the Donald Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to alter the outcome of the 2016 election.

In other words, not only was there serious criminal (and provable) Trump-Russia collusion, it also means that Donald Trump isn’t even legitimately the President of the United States. Perhaps most importantly, Mueller’s decision to reveal this proof of collusion in an unredacted manner today suggests that he’s ready to take Trump down entirely.
