Incredibly enough, people still say Mueller has turned up “no evidence" of TrumpRussia crimes🤦♀️
The comment is absurd it shouldn’t even require an answer.
But here we go, for argument settling: a quick trip through the court findings, plea agreements, and indictments.
In my world (appellate law) facts are those found by a court. This includes facts sworn in plea agreements.
A prosecutor who alleges a fact alleges s/he has evidence to prove the fact beyond a reasonable doubt.
Here’s the court transcript where a judge made a finding that Trump’s campaign manager, Manafort “deliberately lied to shield his Russian conspirator.”

The judge also said Manafort’s lies raise questions about where his loyalties lie.
The “conspiring” happened on Aug. 2, 2016, during the campaign, while Manafort was working as Trump’s campaign manager.

Papadopoulos @GeorgePapa19 swore under oath that he learned the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails" — while he was serving as national security advisor on the Trump campaign.

Are any members of the GOP still bothered by crimes?
The “at Trump’s direction” was offered under oath in court.
There you go. Trump implicated in a campaign crime.
Notice the "military" part.
Dear GOP: Does that bother you at all?
The court rules require the prosecutor, when filing an indictment, to notify the clerk if there’s a “related” case pending before the court.
When Special Counsel filed Stone’s indictment, he designated Stone’s case as related to the pending U.S. v. Netyksho—the Russian hacking case.

All the Netyksho defendants are employed by Russian intelligence(GRU).
Special Counsel filed a response and revealed a few new facts: politico.com/f/?id=00000168…
“In particular,” SC says, “evidence in this case was found in accounts that were subject to search warrants executed in Netyksho.”
Special Counsel also argues that the cases are related because Stone is accused of obstructing an investigation into the Russian Netyksho hacking.

There are bombshells under the reactions. How do I know? Read about “it” here” :
[embeded threads are so people who read all my stuff don't have to read it again]
The only reason we have to "connect dots" is because the redactions haven't (yet) been removed.
Don't worry. They will be.
In mid-August 2016, the Russian hacker received and responded to a request for documents from a candidate for US Congressman.
