Mueller Report Offers Path To Prosecute Hillary Clinton And Her Operatives.

On May 17, 2017, Bob Mueller was appointed Special Counsel to the investigation on Russian interference.  Last Friday, nearly two years after his appointment and following the assignment of 19 lawyers, approximately 40 agents, 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, and interviews with approximately 500 witnesses, Mueller's report was presented to Attorney General William Barr. The resounding conclusion, predictably enough was that "'the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.'"
 
After approximately $25 million of expenditures, two years of incessant torture of a validly elected President of the United States, the harassment and arrest of individuals involved in President Donald J. Trump's campaign for reasons not involving collusion, the investigation found what the American people already knew, that the President of the United States won the 2016 election because he was fairly elected by the people of the United States over one of the worst presidential candidates in American history!  
 
Oh, yes, and the Russians were trying to interfere with our election process.  
 
Well, there's front-page news!  The Russians were trying to disrupt the American political process!
 
But hidden within the pages of a AG Barr's summary are key words that could signal the new direction of the Russian meddling investigation, and perhaps one that would be much more fruitful:  "Russian government actors successfully hacked into computers and obtained emails from persons affiliated with the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party organizations, and publicly disseminated those materials through various intermediaries, including WikiLeaks."
 
Admittedly, this too is information of which most informed observers were aware, but here, for the first time, is an official admission by a dedicated investigator that Hillary Clinton's emails, and/or those of her associates, were hacked by nefarious, foreign actors.  
 
How far does this intrusion into Clinton's emails go?  That is precisely the question that will lead any subsequent investigators to Mrs. Clinton's email habits and an evaluation of her email security practices, not just relating to campaign emails, but those regarding nationally sensitive information such as her activities as Secretary of State.  
 
And therein lies the most visible threat to Mrs. Clinton, and the most likely direction in which any future inquiry regarding Russian meddling will inevitably go.
