Okay guys, let's wrap this thing up — who's next
Special Counsel
Robert Mueller’s team has indicted or gotten guilty pleas from 33 people and
three companies that we know of — the latest being former Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen.
I note: Trump has bashed and smashed Cohen the
so-called “Fixer” like an empty MacDonald’s French fries container – calling
him weak, practically a non-person, and worse behind closed doors. To Mueller, I
suspect, Cohen is the “Golden Goose” with the goods on Trump.
Overall, the
group is composed of five former Trump advisers (Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and
Rick Gates).
There are 26
Russian nationals (including 12 GRU (military intelligence offices), three
Russian companies, one California man (Richard
Pinedo for identity theft), and one London-based lawyer (Alex van der Zwaan)
If you also
count investigations that Mueller originated but then referred elsewhere in the
Justice Department, you can add a plea deal from one more person to the list (Sam Patten), a Republican operative and
lobbyist who pleaded guilty to not
registering as a foreign agent
It’s a sprawling set of allegations, encompassing both
election interference charges against overseas Russians, and various other
crimes by American Trump advisers.
However, Mueller hasn’t yet alleged any
crimes directly connecting the two — that is, alleging that Trump advisers
conspired with Russian officials to impact the election. He is continuing to
investigate that.
Potential
Trump administration charges of obstruction of justice
also have not resulted in any indictments yet.
The full list in Mueller’s probe is here at the Vox.com page with more details
on each person/category. Mueller has given the courts “sealed indictments” but not
known publicly yet with speculation of some Trump family members included (Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka-Trump Kushner, and possibly Jared Kushner).
More on this same topic as noted follows this post next below.
