By now, Robert Muellers reticence is expected. The public has yet to hear him speak publicly since he was appointed as special counsel. Instead, Mueller has let his work speak for him, in the form of indictments, plea agreements and now in sentencing memos filed in connection with Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort. Taken in connection with the Cohen memo filed by the Southern District of New York, much more has been revealed about the status and nature of the Mueller investigation. And the revelations are ominous for President Donald Trump and his family.
To start with the most obvious: the Justice Department all but declared Trump to be guilty of campaign violations by conspiring with Cohen to buy the silence of Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, two women with whom the president had extra-marital affairs. According to the Southern Districts sentencing memo, with respect to both payments," Cohen "acted in coordination and at the direction of" Trump.
