goes through at matter. the same reason why mueller is going after paul manafort, for example, on things that he allegedly did long before the campaign, opens up the president to the same kind of inquiry. exactly right. gloria is dead on when she says these inquiries that relate to whether the president could be compromised fits squarely within the mandate. as to the manafort indictment, it s not as closely tethered, but if it creates an understanding of what the russians were doing and if it creates an understanding if there was a collusive relationship it falls within the mandate. we know from rosenstein s testimony that he and mueller talk. mueller brings things to him and says, what do you want me to do about this. rosenstein gives an answer. for example, the eastern district of virginia cases, which are tax cases against manafort, mueller had to have gone to rosenstein and said, what do you want me to do? he said take it. there s other news breaking right now. just in, the att
recollections. we have had differences between variesle n vasylneskaya s account and kushner s and we haven t heard from manafort. he supposedly took notes. in order to figure out what happened and was this the hatching of the collusive relationship or the beginnings of what became the september relationship between trump jr. and wikileaks? all this stuff has interrelationships between them and mueller needs to figure out to determine has anyone lied? was there collusive agreements? all that is at the heart of this. it is really important from a legal standpoint.
