15 months into Mueller, I'm utterly certain Mike Schmidt doesn't understand the breadth and depth of the conspiracy investigation, the threat it poses to his credibility as a journo writing only about obstruction over and over.https://twitter.com/nytmike/status/1028638521488232449 …

In the spirit of finding out the truth, I wish investigators and journalists covering this would be more transparent with each other. Everyone holds their cards too closely to their chests, there needs to be more about putting the pieces together in a collective way. Share scoop.

To be fair to Schmidt, they have released stuff, including the list of questions Sekulow drew up that make it clear 1/3 of the investigation as early as March was conspiracy, not obstruction.

So 2/3 of Mueller's questions are about obstruction and not "collusion", which would justify Schmidt's focus on the former... I read your article on this at the time and know that you disagree, but I've never quite understood why. I assume it is due to info you can't share (yet)

2/3 of Mueller's questions (checks calendar) 5 months ago were on obstruction. That is, just weeks after Rick Gates flipped, among other developments.

Again, that list is from early March, just weeks after Rick Gates flipped. Here's what I mean by the obstruction questions that are really "collusion:" https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/06/03/the-giant-holes-in-trumps-mike-flynn-story-point-to-collusion-not-obstruction/ …
