I also think recent events may harm our ability to receive sensitive intelligence while, at the same time, may have opened the doors wide open to any intelligence friendly countries might have on TRUMP et al.

I think that Europe, GB, Japan have probably given Mueller everything they have on Trump that doesn't compromise their sources and methods.

Think of all those people Twitler has screwed over the years. How motivated do you think some of them are to see him get what he so richly deserves? That gives Meuller a whole army of informants scattered all over the globe happily sharing info with him.

But I do believe he has mountains of evidence originally turned over to the FBI and CIA by foreign intelligence agencies.

both initiated by his investigation and initiated by foreign governments and entities.

Both Putin's ambitions and attempted takeovers by new anti-government billionaire classes are threats to many nations, not just us. We're not even close to being the first under attack.

That alone suggests cooperation with foreign governments .

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

regarding the Trump-Russia exploits. But in order for Mueller to take judicial action (indict/arrest/detain folks) he and his team need to be able to PROVE that person X did Y on such-n-such day.

I don't think he can just take MI5's report that X did Y and then start arresting folks - if that was the case, Russia-Gate would have been wrapped up already because all of our NATO Allies know EXACTLY how and when Trump has been influenced by the Russians and they know how when the Russians influenced our elections...

Attorneys and legal folks, please correct me if I'm wrong in my speculation about this...

I’ve always felt that way. We are not alone, many out there are fighting for us.
