Dem Senator: 'I Wouldn't Put It Past Mueller To Indict The Trump Campaign.'

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse told Wolf Blitzer that Mueller was "circling the wagons" around the Trump campaign, and he fully expected it to be the next target.
<snip>

There's a lot left for Mueller to probe, so to speak, and Whitehouse is just waiting for another humongous shoe to drop. In particular, he's waiting for the Special Counsel to go after what he called the "pro-Russia change in the Republican Party platform relative to our nation's position on Ukraine." You have Manafort, whom the Senator described as the most transactional person ever to be born on the planet, and Flynn, and their cooperation and guilty pleas. The dots are easy to connect because of their deep and early connections to the Trump campaign. What did they all get in return for this softening towards Russia? NOTHING? Come on.

In fact, Senator Whitehouse said, "I wouldn't put it past Mueller to indict the Trump campaign." I mean, it would be a Christmas MIRACLE, but we all know Mueller takes his time because he does not play politics. He just does his job. As Whitehouse said very pointedly, "UNLIKE Kavanaugh and Starr, back in the Clinton investigation, Mueller has done a very professional job of NOT litigating his investigation in the media and in the public..." - Crooks and Liars
