On Corey Lewandowski’s Big Legal Bills and Mueller’s Deadline from Rosenstein
This is actually not at all surprising. Trump is going to start firing people after the election, so Mueller’s ability to work unimpeded may be dramatically curtailed shortly after that. If he’s going to bring a big indictment, he has to do so in that time frame. Plus, after securing Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen’s cooperation, he has cooperating witnesses on all the elements of a conspiracy Mueller had identified by last March, not to mention slam dunk obstruction charges tied to floated pardons. Everyone is scheduled to start being sentenced after the election, too. With the hints he has gotten extensive Lewandowski testimony (and reports that he had obtained far more documentation pertaining to Don Jr’s actions), it would suggest that Mueller has at least tracked the game of telephone between Russians offering emails to the candidate anxious to accept that offer.
So this tells us what we might expect: the denouement of the Mueller investigation will happen, unless Trump works to undercut it, just after the election.
“Update: In their plan for further investigation released in March, HPSCI Dems described that in his second committee appearance Lewandowski refused, “to answer questions regarding his communication with President Trump regarding former FBI Director Comey, Special Counsel Mueller, and Attorney General Sessions, as well as his communications with certain administration officials pertaining to the June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower.”
So it sounds like he’s also got evidence pertaining to the June 9 meeting.
UPDATE:
Lewandowski would feature prominently in the Mueller Report regarding Trump’s attempt to have him-as someone who wasn’t even a WH much less a DOJ official-fire Jeff Sessions.
If he has information on the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower Russian Collusion meeting we still don’t know what that is publicly.
In August the Dems subpoenaed Lewandowski who has now agreed to testify.
