The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller's criminal investigation may be over, but the FBI's efforts to assess and counter Russian efforts to influence the U.S.
These are different questions than whether crimes were committed, which is what Mueller explored in his 448-page report.on some of the key counterintelligence issues raised in his probe. It doesn't mention, for example, the counterintelligence investigation the FBI opened into the president — an inquiry former acting director Andrew McCabe said was designed to examine whether he was compromised by Russia.
"That's very important for our committee as well as the Financial Services Committee to make sure there's no financial leverage or other leverage that the Russians or the Gulf or anyone else have over the president of the United States," Schiff told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Thursday. In the one short section devoted to counterintelligence, the Mueller report makes clear that the issue of thwarting Russian influence went beyond the criminal probe.
Much of that information is not contained in the report, which was designed to summarize prosecution decisions. Left unsaid is that much of that information is also classified.
