John Cassidy: After CNN published its story on Friday night, some Democrats and commentators suggested that the Trump Administration may have known the Mueller indictments were coming and leaked the Steele story to create a smokescreen
Plausible as that theory sounds, it, too, is conjecture.
What isnt speculation is the fact that, five months into his investigation, Mueller has brought a first set of criminal charges. By the standards of recent special prosecutors, that is fast work, and it confirms Muellers reputation as someone who doesnt like to dally. Now that he has started arresting people, there is no reason to suppose he will stop. And that is precisely the message he wants to send.

Mueller is not a man to mess with. Trump and friends will find out that this is true.

He must have been a very formidable prosecutor.
