Who else would direct a “senior Trump Campaign official,” after all? Maybe that senior Trump campaign official spoke with Mueller’s team and remembered being directed to reach out to Stone but not who told him or her to do so. There are myriad examples of the Mueller team doing things that turn out to be conspicuous for a reason. Trump said he didn’t know about the payment to Stormy Daniels, but perhaps he meant he didn’t know the details of it. Perhaps he could argue that on a technicality, he didn’t know how Cohen paid it.
