It began on July 31, triggered by revelations that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had been informed months earlier about Russia’s possession of emails casting Clinton in a negative light. Never mind that Mueller’s investigation has secured admissions of guilt from five individuals — three of whom worked with Trump’s campaign — and indicted 14 others, including Trump’s former campaign chairman. And, of course, by the time the Page warrant was granted, there was already an FBI investigation underway. What this had to do with the investigation into Trump’s campaign isn’t immediately obvious. Trump would have you think the McCabe firing proves that McCabe and therefore the FBI and therefore Mueller are tainted.
