On Dec. 19, 2017, a former staffer for Sen. John McCain named David Kramer testified before the House intelligence committee behind closed doors. He’d played a role in bringing the salacious and unverified Steele dossier to the FBI’s attention, and members peppered him with questions about it.
Then something unusual happened. Word of Kramer's testimony got out—to the lawyer of another witness.

Mueller has reportedly sought documents and spoken to witnesses about Michael Cohen’s involvement in negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Cohen was reportedly in contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s chief spokesman about moving forward on the project, but did not receive a response.
Negotiations for a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow started in 2015, but were cut off in early 2016.
Mueller’s team has also looked into Cohen’s involvement in a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine that favored Russia and was proposed one week after Trump took office, The Washington Post reported.

All of that and then some was gifted to the banks and Wall Street speculators.
