Butina’s decision to change her plea & likely strike a deal with U.S. Attorney for D.C. is a reminder that Mueller has been delegating & decentralizing his investigation—a smart move. A number of different DOJ components now work on elements of Russia’s 2016 interference.
By having other DOJ departments looking into Trump/Russia/2016, Mueller is able to 1.) take advantage of expertise in other offices 2.) ensure other legal entities, independent of the Special Counsel, will persist even if he were to be stymied, stifled, or shut down.
We mustn't lose sight of the breadth of this investigation. From the NRA, adult actresses, real estate investments, illegal campaign coordination & financing... the list goes on. Such a wide scope of serious accusations indicate something in the 2016 election doesn't add up.
As Trump becomes more desperate & destructive & potentially more damaging, the groundwork is being laid for the investigation to continue. Today, Mueller is planting the seeds that will live on & ensure that no one is above the law.
