16. It's inference! You know, LOGIC. No Mueller leak needed. Reliable source is what YOU know already.

1) Mueller gets ALL the emails from GSA.

2) Mueller get partial set from transition team.

3) Mueller conducts interviews with many members of team.

4) Team cross-checks questions Mueller's inquiry asked them and realizes he has all the emails.

5) They leak that and claim "executive privilege". There is only one person they could apply it to: Trump.

6) That means that those are the incriminating emails tRump read or wrote.

7) That is how Mueller knows what Trump knew and when he knew it.

It's logical inference and from publicly available info. But it took a smarter man than me to put it together and write the article. Logical inference you can follow too like I did above.
