The Alfa Bank thing was incorrect information, but Hillary's people didn't know it was incorrect at the time. They were really desperate to bolster the Russia narrative and we're seeing what would stick.

But let's not insinuate that this means the entire Mueller investigation was based on those lies. What became the Mueller investigation started in mid 2016, before all this. If Trump had lost, the investigation would have wound down and we would have heard very little about it. Trump winning meant the investigation had to be spun off to a special counsel which is a very public process.

If Hillary had won, there would have been a special counsel appointed to continue the investigation of the irregularities in her campaign.
