(198 posts)Something just occurred to me to go along with what we know now... As you said, Mueller & Co. had the whole stream of emails top-to-bottom when he questioned the Trump gang members. Then he requested later that they turn over emails, and they, of course, left out all of the incriminating ones. But Mueller already had the full set for comparison. And probably avoided mentioning anything only contained in those incriminating emails.
My epiphany: Mueller let the Trumpettes reveal which emails THEY thought were most damaging, those being the ones they "forgot" to turn over! So, the Trumpanzees supplied him with a helpful list of which emails to use to hang them.
I mean - Mueller played the gang like Itzhak Perlman plays the fiddle, and let them all incriminate themselves. If nothing else, they now clearly perjured themselves by omission for the emails they did not cough up. He could even convict those not in on the original scam for the coverup!
Not Bob Mueller's first time at the rodeo, eh?
