Mueller Didnt Know of Donald Trump Jr. Emails

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/11/politics/donald-trump-jr-emails-special-counsel/index.html?adkey=bn


(CNN)Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigators plan to examine the meeting and email exchanges disclosed by Donald Trump Jr. as part of the broader Russian-meddling investigation, according to a US official briefed on the matter.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump's eldest son, Trump Jr., released an email chain showing that he agreed to meet with someone he believed to be a "Russian government attorney" last summer after receiving an email offering him "very high level and sensitive information" that would "incriminate" Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

2. Given the prosecutors Mueller has hired, I think he's following the money trail.

If not that, then Manafort has probably not cut a deal as of yet.

Manafort has not turned states evidence or maybe no need to offer him by Muller's office.

Don Jr./Jared/Manafort should be immediately deposed separately to see what each says about the Russian lawyer meet up 6/09/2016.

This should be done haste pronto before they converse and corroborate some concocted story.

Damn in maybe too late to catch them off guard. Don Jr. Is on Hannity to discuss this this eve. What he says here will be echoed by Jared and Manafort now.

So he didn't. He didn't say he knew. He didn't say he didn't know. He said he would investigate. Which is like your trash collector saying he will collect trash.

...this recently revealed meeting with the three Trump Stooges, the investigation may be in trouble... My assumption is that Mueller knows more than we do; if not, something is very wrong.

11. Article doesn't say what your headline says it does.

In fact, to the contrary, it says, "The details of the interactions between Trump Jr., Goldstone and Veselnitskaya weren't fully known to federal investigators until recently" which sounds like they DID know about this before the public revelations.
