1/ This aspect of Mueller’s investigation deserves more attention, because it’s the piece most likely to result in charges that resemble what people commonly call “collusion”—Russians and Americans working together to influence the election.

2/ Mueller previously obtained a search warrant for Facebook records, which indicates he had evidence that convinced a judge there was good reason to believe a crime occurred.

3/ That crime would likely be a foreign contribution in connection with a U.S. election, which is a crime if it is done knowingly and willfully. It’s also a crime for an American to knowingly aid in that effort.

4/ The recent news that Mueller interviewing RNC staffers to see if they coordinated with Russian efforts suggests that he’s investigating whether any of them are guilty of aiding the Russian effort to make an unlawful contribution to the election.

5/ We don’t know yet what Mueller will find, but if he indicted an American for aiding a Russian effort to influence the election, that would be more explosive than the charges we’ve seen thus far. /end
