THREAD ➡️ The #MuellerReport paints a devastating picture of a corrupt President who surrounded himself with criminals and obstructed justice at every opportunity.
But there's a key element missing from the report: its national security implications.
But there's a key element missing from the report: its national security implications.
The #MuellerReport is clear that the FBI took note of the counter-intelligence implications, which were omitted from Mueller's draft. We don't have a public accounting of the national security risks of Trump associates' behavior. 
The #MuellerReport's scope is narrow. It tells the story of Russia's systematic efforts to interfere in our election, as well as the extent of the Trump team's involvement, and explains Mueller's prosecutorial decisions—but it doesn't answer the following questions:
1️⃣ Did the Trump team's actions make them susceptible to blackmail/coercion?
2️⃣ Were the Russians emboldened knowing they had leverage over Trump affiliates?
3️⃣ How have Trump’s financial interests with Russia, including the Trump Tower Moscow project, shaped his foreign policy?

These aren't idle questions—we've already seen countless examples of Trump's foreign conflicts of interest compromising our national security.
.@HouseDemocrats can now seek answers to those questions—because in many ways, their implications are farther reaching than the #MuellerReport's narrow prosecutorial decisions.
Nothing less than our national security is at stake.
