Could Jill Stein ultimately be pulled into the Mueller inquiry?

She's been vocal in her support of Russia. And as someone who is deeply skeptical of idea that there were large numbers of undecided voters going back and forth between Trump and Clinton in 2016, the embarrassing and often false information circulated by Russia likely had a much higher cumulative effect of influencing potential Stein supporters when compared to the overall effect on "undecided" voters. Stein was very clearly a beneficiary of the Russian campaign. My only question is whether she was just a useful idiot, or if she was actually involved.

It could be that she just willingly went along with it on her own and did nothing illegal. A true useful idiot. Who knows, some supposed far left "progressives" basically idolized the U.S.S.R. and continued that Russia fetish.

Depends on where the money trail leads.
