So the crux is, Mueller couldn’t confirm a conspiracy from non-intelligence sources because neither Manafort nor Stone would turn — thanks to Trump dangling pardons:

Now that Mueller confirmed Russia interfered in our election, what does this photo mean to you? #TrumpColluded pic.twitter.com/9H3HLAXT24

Former Senator Bill Nelson claimed Russian hackers had gained access to Florida election systems. He was mocked. The Mueller Report confirms this happened. Think about how close his race was and the gubernatorial! https://t.co/Qt5aYqP7Sj

The Trump administration posted an unsearchable pdf of the Mueller report so it would be harder for you to read.

You remember Peter Smith, right? Found dead, allegedly a suicide? The guy who could connect Trump to Russian hacking… what a coinky-dink.

From Twitter:

Journalists and other Twitterati go to work. I think this first one is my favorite:

So the late Peter Smith was the only link between Trump and the Clinton emails? Maybe his death wasn’t a suicide, huh.

It's really apparent, btw, the degree to which counterintelligence information is not included here. The briefings to the Intel Committees will be quite interesting.
