After enduring Russiagate & being attacked for challenging it, I can't hide my amusement at how its peddlers are moving the goalposts as #MuellerTime nears. Here's the latest line: it's no longer about 2016, but whether Trump is under Russian influence now nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
To no one's surprise, this is being pushed by Adam Schiff and amplified by NBC News. Here's the money quote: "It's more important to know what Trump is NOW than to know what he did in 2016." Huh? Wasn't the whole point of this 2+ year exercise to find out "what he did in 2016"? 
Schiff, who has racked up dozens of cable news appearances by peddling the Trump-Russia conspiracy and warning of a threat to Mueller, is now continuing to suggest that Mueller didn't pursue the right lines of inquiry:
Schiff is even willing to cast doubt on Mueller's independence here, suggesting Trump may "been successful in chilling the DOJ" -- i.e. Mueller -- "from looking at his finances." Protecting Mueller has turned into throwing Mueller under the bus.
