      I bring up my August 2016 article not to crow but to highlight an extraordinary aspect of the whole Russia caper: it was never really hidden: it was all in plain sight for anyone with eyes to see.

          While the Russian caper was going on in real time in 2016, the basic outlines of the story (Trump's business relations with Russia, Stone as a conduit to Wikileaks, a quid pro quo on changing policy, social media manipulation) was visible if you wanted to look.

          There's a piece to be written about how Mueller's filings haven't really surprised anyone who has been paying attention.

          I was gonna say the same thing. Not to take anything from your reporting, but it’s been forgotten just how much WE ALL KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING.

          You should crow. You did your job - as a journalist and as a citizen. Would that more had done the same.

          Why even say hidden? It was marginalized, ignored and forgotten.

          This is absolutely true. Never felt it more than the “bombshell” NYT report about the fact there was a counterintelligence investigation going on, because…holy shit look at all this stuff (that was already plain to see)!!!

          Yeah. The media decided it was irrelevant then hid their complicity then decided it didn't exist until Mueller said so
