1) Mueller’s Russia investigation so far has ONE “FACT” which is publicly known: that Russia hacked the DNC. The hack is the essential aspect of the Russia interference issue.

2) Therefore, Mueller CANNOT logically evade investigating the “hack”.

3) The article cited by Sundance makes it crystal clear that Mueller can find out immediately whether the Russians hacked the DNC by asking the NSA, which has all the information necessary to make that determination.

4) Mueller cannot drop the “hack” after he finds out it was not a hack or by Russia. When Mueller finds out, logically he will have to discover what it was if not a hack or Russian. The “hack” is too integral to the Russian investigation to not investigate.

5) Assuming the “hack” was a leak as described by the article, Mueller logically will look into any evidence regarding who downloaded (stole?) the information from the DNC server. Following the leak will be an entire investigation in itself.

6) Mueller will also necessarily examine the role of the company used by the DNC to falsely propagate the “hack” story, as well as the role of the FBI. Specifically, he will be interested in whether the “hack” story was a mistake or a fabrication, and who was involved in the propagation of the false Russian hack story.

7) Without going into speculation, it is not hard to imagine the actual circumstances of an investigation into the false Russian hack story: no peril for Trump, opening Pandora’s box for the Democrats.
