We promise this is chocked full of insights:

Professors @alexgwhiting (@Harvard_Law) and @rgoodlaw (@nyulaw) team up:

"What Mueller’s Questions Reveal About the Future of the #RussiaInvestigation"

justsecurity.org/55562/muellers…
"Mueller’s questions about collusion show that it is likely that Mueller has already identified crimes involving collusion–such as a conspiracy to defraud the United States...–and Mueller is asking here only about Trump’s possible knowledge and personal involvement." /2
"The Mueller questions indicate that the House Intelligence Committee Majority completed its investigation into collusion prematurely ... and show that the majority’s report may have a short shelf life, soon to be overtaken by other revelations and events." /3
"One of the places Trump seems most vulnerable to perjury...if he tells Mueller he knew back then, in June 2016, about the Trump Tower meeting ... he will also contradict what Don Jr. reportedly testified to Congress–creating legal jeopardy for his son." /4

A criminal case against Donald Trump would turn the weaknesses in the prosecution of John Edwards into strengths.

@ThePaulSRyan on the alleged wrongdoing at the center of the Michael Cohen #HushMoney campaign finance scandal
justsecurity.org/60415/prosecut…
A key that could unlock the case against Trump:

"Cohen’s plea documents indicate a host of other people were involved... One of those individuals, the President of AMI has already 'provided prosecutors with details about payments…including Mr. Trump’s knowledge of the deals.'"
Edwards: "DOJ presented no evidence that Hunter was planning or threatening to speak to the press about her affair…Edwards’ lawyers made a big deal out of this"

Trump: "McDougal and Clifford were in negotiation with national media outlets to sell the rights to their stories"

Important dissection of why and how Russia would have targeted Donald Trump.

By former senior CIA Russia expert Mowatt-Larssen (@BelferCenter)

justsecurity.org/57914/trump-ru…
Why would Russia approach Trump campaign multiple times if already had channel to Donald Trump?

Mowatt-Larssen:
"Based on well-practiced history, intelligence services typically hold off making a direct approach to high priority targets for years."
Why would Russia approach lower level Trump associates?

Mowatt-Larssen:
"Even if the Russians were ultimately unsuccessful in compromising Trump directly, they would have been content to compromise and exploit lesser targets along the way–minnows with access to the big fish."

justsecurity.org/47662/trumps-l…
