The Trump camps witch-hunt talking points are now dominating the newsbut the media battle may be the wrong way to beat Mueller.
Said a former FBI official: This investigation is classic Mueller: he is doing a classic, organized crime case. This is RICO 101, working your way up and sideways. You pop a few guys for gambling, and no one is going to do a million years for gambling, but youre gonna get their scratch pads, then you move on to their associates. You flip one guy who you arrest with no fanfare. Its exactly what Mueller has been doing his whole goddamn life. Its just that this time the boss of the family happens to be the leader of the free world. Mueller doesnt care if he gets Trump. He doesnt care if he doesnt get Trump. He has no political agenda. He is digging through the layers and bringing back the truth, and the truth is going to be whatever it is going to be.

There were no calls from the GOP to "wrap it up".
We already know Trump committed crimes. Just a matter of enough to indict.
