Problem is that Mueller was authorized to investigate the Russian angle into Trump’s election and any matters that arose or may arise from that. How anything that happened before Trump even declared his candidacy is clearly not subject to review by Mueller.

The authorization was for "any matters that arose from" the investigation, not just matters that are integral to the central purpose. Any crime within the statue of limitations that fell into the investigators' lap during the investigation into the central purpose would be within the scope, seems to me. It would be redundant to authorize "any matters that arose from the investigation," having already authorized the central purpose, if "any matters that arose" were only those integral to the central purpose.
