Of stuff that you have a special counsel to investigate. you know, you call people in, you try to find other e-mails if these e-mails exist. there might be other e-mails out there in the same chain or that go later or earlier, and these are things that you can bear down on depending how far robert mueller wants to go in chasing the russian money trail into the trump campaign. and there s a whole lot of other russian money trail over the years into trump s businesses. and we just don t yet have a strong indication whether mull certificate including both those money trails in his ongoing investigation. so we thought we knew everything mueller was looking at. now there is this story, these names that you mentioned, simon kukes about more money going in. do you think there s going to be even more names that are still going to come out? listen, robert mueller continues to surprise us. it s one of my least favorite ....
