Trump campaign associates 'materially impaired' investigation by lying, Mueller says
thehill.com
"Special counsel Robert Mueller's final report about the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election said Trump campaign associates "materially impaired" the investigation by lying.
But it also states that several Trump associates' lies to the special counsel's office and to Congress "impaired" the team's efforts to probe Russia's election interference.
"[T]he investigation established that several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions with Russian-affiliated individuals and related matters," Mueller's report said. "Those lies materially impaired the investigation of Russian election interference."
"Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in the election interference activities," the report said.

Top on Mueller's list was has to be Roger Stone. His loyalty to the Liar-in-Chief prevented Mueller from coming to a complete understanding of the communications between Wikileaks and members of the Trump campaign.

"Gates testified in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., that less than a minute after finishing a July 2016 call from Stone, Trump indicated that “more information would be coming” from Wikileaks."
In a written response to special counsel Robert Mueller last November, Trump had said, “I do not recall discussing WikiLeaks with” Stone, “nor do I recall Mr. Stone having discussed WikiLeaks with my campaign.”
It's why, win or lose the election, Trump will likely pardon Stone.
