I am not a lawyer, so I’m probably not going to use the terms of art. Please don’t go “well, actually” on me, all you legal eagles, beagles, and Smeagols, mmmkay?
As far as I can tell, Mueller might be investigating the following.
- Money laundering for the Russian mob
- Tax evasion
- Taking bribes (the emoluments clause, for a start)
- Obstruction of justice
- Accepting foreign contributions to a US political campaign, including aid in kind
- Conspiracy with a foreign power (Russia) to affect US elections
- Taking the part of that same foreign power against the interests of the USA (treason?)
Did I miss anything? And of course, each of these could carry multiple counts, so the indictment may well require a forklift to deliver.
I didn’t mention “abuse of the power of the office” because I’m not sure that’s illegal, but it is impeachable (2nd article against Nixon).
Adding from comments:
8. Data crimes (receiving the results of Russian hacking)
9. Sexual Assault (grab ‘em by the pussy)
10. Blackmail and extortion (as in the various efforts to keep Stormy Daniels quiet)
11. Paying bribes (e.g., Bondi)
12. Self-dealing from his Foundation.
13. Illegal campaign contribution from his lawyer in the Stormy Daniels matter.
