Trump-associate reveals that Mueller already knows A LOT.

http://buffalonews.com/2018/05/02/caputo-questioned-by-special-counsel/

Michael R. Caputo underwent an intense three hours of questioning from investigators from the office of special counsel Robert Mueller in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, and the East Aurora political consultant emerged sounding shaken.

"They have every bit of information you could possibly have on the Trump campaign," said Caputo, who worked for the Trump effort in late 2015 and early 2016, in a telephone interview with The Buffalo News. "They had a lot of questions I had no answers to. At times it was kind of frightening."

...

But, he could not recall the prosecutors asking him any questions directly about Donald Trump, the Republican elected president in 2016.

The prosecutors did, however, ask questions about all the key figures in the Trump campaign.

...

To that end, Caputo confirmed that the special counsel's team quizzed him about the roles of Wikileaks and a hacker named Guccifer 2.0 in the leaking of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.

...

At the same time, he added: "The questions were directed, relevant and complete."

...

Even as a witness, though, Caputo found the questioning much more rigorous than what he had faced Tuesday at a meeting with Senate Intelligence Committee staffers, or at a meeting last year with the House Intelligence Committee.

Caputo came away impressed with the level of research prosecutors had done.

"They remembered things I didn't remember," he said. "They remembered things I thought I did in July that I had actually done in May."


...

"I tell witnesses: You have to assume when you go into something like this that they know more than we do," Vacco said. "That was proven correct today."
