Don't have to be. Mueller's directive was to investigate the Russian collusion and any other crimes that became apparent during that investigation. Chasing the money, which is the oldest investigative technique in the book, led him down a rabbit hole to obstruction of justice, campaign finance violations and use of a "news" publication as a hit squad (and he accuses others of fake news). Trump is attacking his own Attorney General for not obstructing the investigation.

The clock is ticking. It's getting louder.

Well that was what Cohen pleaded guilt to. That doesn't prove that it was an actual crime, since it was never tried in court. He was guilty of many more serious crimes, but pleaded guilty to a few of the less serious crimes in order to avoid spending the rest of his life in jail.

Paying a blackmailer is not a crime, the so-called crime was that the payoff was considered a campaign contribution that exceeded the limit.

If the payoff had been from the campaign account rather than Cohen, would it have been illegal use of campaign funds for personal use? I'd think so. Edwards was charged as such. If so then using campaign funds to pay a blackmailer is a crime, and using non-campaign funds to pay a blackmailer is a crime. Apparently no matter how you do it, paying a blackmailer can be construed as a crime.

Are you OK with the way the government is abusing the law to make innocent people into criminals? Are you?
