And sourcing is vague and other media are scrambling to confirm but not publishing results yet.

Agree with OnDoubtside, though, that it doesn't affect the Mueller investigation in the least. Funny that the investigations seems so quiet and calm to our view, and yet the quiet drama happening within must be far, far greater than the incessant, clammering dramatization that's all we're privy to.
