Mueller drew the same conclusions.

Mueller and Weissman zapped 43 phones to destroy their contents.
The game was to get Trump to sit for an INTERVIEW, every misrepresentation is a Felony. They charged Papadopolous for misremembering a Date. Yep, that was the whole Case against Papadopolous.
So, FBI agents repeatedly lied in Affidavits to the court, but Papadopolous is charged for getting a Date wrong.
The point is - part of no predicate and no underlying crime was the plan. Get to that Interview and use a script to produce meaningless Lies, and the President is taken down. Based on the FBI’s statements, WH Lawyers wondered what Trump was hiding.
