The good part about the Mueller convictions not charging collusion

is that it is still very possible that he will eventually be charged with collusion.

1) We know that he gave valuable, proprietary polling data to Konstantin Kilimnik.

2) We know Michael Flynn -- who was accused by his judge of almost committing treason -- gave some information to Mueller that was so valuable Mueller didn't object to Flynn's request for no jail time.

3) We know that there is nothing preventing Mueller from filing additional charges against Manafort in the future, if he has evidence to do so.

The article below is about the court case against Flynn's former partner. It says the Justice Dept. has been asking for a delay in giving the defense some reports of Flynn interviews because they contain information concerning other ongoing investigations.

A court filing in the criminal case against Michael Flynn’s former business partner, Bijan Rafiekian, suggests Flynn was questioned about several federal investigations that could be coming to a head in the coming weeks.

The Justice Department attorneys cited these ongoing probes as they asked a federal judge to delay an upcoming deadline to give Flynn’s lawyers the FBI reports, known as 302s, that detail their client’s interviews with investigators.

“The 302s of General Flynn’s interviews relating entirely to matters other than the pending charges against the defendant contain information concerning a number of sensitive matters, including ongoing investigations,” prosecutors wrote in a Tuesday filing to the Alexandria, Va., federal court.

They added that they were trying to “coordinate” a solution with DOJ “that could moot much of the defendant’s request. However, this coordination requires time because of the various interests involved.”
