Known Unknowns

It's true that Robert Mueller knows more than we do. It's also true that what we already know is damning enough. But I've been digging at this story for a long time now, and what I know is far more than what the average person knows, including a lot of people who are trying to cover it every day. I'm pretty sure if we just stuck to the things I've written about and forgotten it would make up a pretty serious set of indictments.

When the shithammer comes down, trust me, it is going to make a splash.

The public case against Trump

Why it matters: That’s what makes the Trump-Russia drama all the more remarkable. Forget all we don’t know. The known facts that even Trump’s closest friends don’t deny tell a damning tale that would sink most leaders.

Here's a guide that Jim VandeHei and I put together to the known knowns of Russia:

We know Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign chair, has been indicted on 32 counts, including conspiracy and money laundering. We know he made millions off shady Russians and changed the Republican platform to the benefit of Russia.

We know that the U.S. intelligence community concluded, in a report released in January 2017, that Russian President Vladimir Putin “ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election,” to “denigrate” Hillary Clinton and with “a clear preference for ... Trump.”

snip

We know Michael Cohen was a close adviser and lawyer, the fixer and secret-keeper. We know Trump seethed when the FBI raided Cohen's office.

We know and Mueller knows.

Will he just drop a several thousand page report and leave the media and congress to spend weeks digging through it? Will he release an outline, give a speech, file indictments (then we might not see a full report)...?

It's going to be a weird couple of months upcoming, because it feels we're leading to something.
