But this started with a desire to find something on which to charge Trump, not a desire to solve a known crime. A murder mystery starts with the murder, not with the mystery or the investigation.
It started with some pretty clear indicators of Russian interference in the election process. Thing is, this is white-collar crime, and the election meddling is the sort of crime that has less of a paper trail, you need witnesses. Luckily, criminals are rarely one-trick ponies.
So you find a guy like Manafort. Dirty as all out, and you nail him on charges that do have a paper trail - financial crimes. This will, in turn, entice him to be a happy and cooperative witness when the time comes to nail his co-conspirators. This also entice others, who aren't squeaky clean, to get their "I'm a cooperative witness" ticket. Because you make it clear that there is a very limited number of those.
This was Mueller's MO when he rolled up the Gottis. It works.
When he finds a reason to in the course of the investigation. Guaranteed.
Mueller is charged with investigating Russia interference in the 2016 presidential election, and the Hillary campaign did conspire with Russian state actors to produce the Steele Dossier.
Meanwhile, still no evidence of collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign.

Wait, so it was actually those crafty Russians that produced the Steele Report and not Steele?

Been debunked many times. Did you not get the memo?
Manafort pleads guilty and accepts plea deal to cooperate with Mueller. Manafort was at the Trump tower meeting with the Russian's and Don Jr. Manafort was also the Trump campaign manager when the Clinton emails were leaked on wikileaks. Why did Manafort want to work for Trump for free? Why did a Russian born business man named Felix Sater say "Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it" in an email to Cohen? Who are the Russian mafia ties to Cohen and Manafort? Why were Russian oligarchs at Trump's inauguration parties? Mueller already knows the answers. How many Trump aides were arrested, convicted and are cooperating with Mueller? Four now with some fringe people like Van der Zwaan and Pinedo all pleading guilty.
Do you really want to talk about Clinton again? Why. What's going on in the here and now is far more interesting and relevant.
Lets play a guessing game and see who will be indicted next. Don Jr. or Kushner or both?
