Michael Caputo says 'it's clear' Mueller investigators focused on Russia collusion

Source: CNN

After being interviewed by special counsel investigators on Wednesday, former aide to Donald Trump's presidential campaign Michael Caputo told CNN that Robert Mueller's team is "focused on Russia collusion."

"It's clear they are still really focused on Russia collusion," Caputo said, adding, "They know more about the Trump campaign than anyone who ever worked there."

Caputo, who advised the Trump campaign on communications in 2016, has long insisted he has no information about collusion between Trump's team and Russia. He spoke with Senate intelligence investigators on Tuesday for their Russia probe and outlined the differences between Congress' inquiries and the special counsel's.

"The Senate and the House are net fishing," Caputo said. "The special counsel is spearfishing. They know what they are aiming at and are deadly accurate."

REPEAT: "The special counsel is spearfishing. They know what they are aiming at and are deadly accurate."

Translation: This is no regular fishing expedition. This is big game fishing, with spears!

Spearfishing, indeed. Spearfishing for all those "witches" Trump keeps talking about. What Trump calls "witches", Mueller calls "evidence", and there seems to be more witches uncovered by the minute.

Donnie Dumbass always got away with his crimes before, but he's not up against some contractor with a limited legal budget this time. He's up against the U.S. Government, and they have more lawyers at their disposal than Donnie Dumbass, and their lawyers are a whole lot smarter, too.
