What We Know: Mueller's Indictments & The Trump-Russia Investigation

Special Counselor Robert Mueller unsealed indictments for former Trump campaign officials Manafort, Gates, and Papadopoulos. The broadening of his investigation has visibly shaken the Trump administration, as unsavory ties to Russian oligarchs—not collusion with Russia to sway the 2016 election—may ultimately bring down his administration. However, as he points the finger at Hillary Clinton in order to deflect, we also determine whether or not there's any truth to what he's saying about Clinton's potential ties with Russia and bribes she allegedly took while serving on the Committee on Foreign Investment. Followers on both sides seem to accept everything their preferred oligarch (be it Trump or Clinton) has to say, however, they're overlooking the glaring hypocrisy as well as the inconvenient fact that Clinton and Trump both likely have corrupt ties to Russia, albeit in different ways and for different reasons. In this segment we'll give you a comprehensive breakdown of the situation in order to gauge what's really going on, and why the Mueller investigation is now very important.
