Robert Mueller just caught the Russians in the act
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has had a busy few days. He arrested Roger Stone on Friday. Then he initiated further grand jury action which strongly suggests he’s about to nail Donald Trump Jr. Now Mueller is revealing in a new filing that he’s caught the Russians in the act of trying to sabotage him.
Robert Mueller long ago brought criminal charges against a Kremlin-controlled company called Concord Management. In preparation for trial, Mueller has turned over evidence to Concord’s defense attorneys. It turns out Concord took that evidence, doctored it, released it, and tried to make it appear that it was compromising information about Mueller that had been obtained via hacking. The timing here may be key.
Just this morning, Donald Trump launched an all out assault on the reputation of the United States intel community, accusing them of being “naive” and needing to “go back to school.” At the time, this appeared to be purely in response to yesterday’s public testimony before Congress from the leaders of the FBI, CIA and other intel agencies.
But now it turns out Donald Trump was waging war this morning against the U.S. intel community even as Robert Mueller was catching the Kremlin in the act of pretending its intel community had hacked the United States. We also just learned that Trump had a secret meeting with Putin in Argentina, a reminder that we have no idea how often the two of them are communicating, and what kind of orders Putin is giving Trump on any given day. Is it possible that Trump was doing Putin’s bidding with his meltdown? Is anything a coincidence anymore?
