Perhaps for the insight that Papadopolous gave on the Trump campaign when speaking to Mueller.
Perhaps because this was never a major deal and Mueller knew he couldn't justify anything more.
We'll find out when Mueller releases the results of his investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Thought the investigation was supposed to be about Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 election also. The interference that went on during the previous administration that apparently knew nothing about and if they did know did little or nothing about.
Nodding.....and Papodopolous, working for the Trump campaign, made several secret contacts with individuals in Moscow. Specifically a professor with immediate ties to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
With whom Papodoplous met in London a few days later.
With Papodopolous informing that Trump campaign that Putin was ready to meet with Trump after those contacts with the MFA connected individual in Moscow.
With the MFA linked professor telling Papodopolous (again, working for the Trump campaign) that the Russian government had dirt on Hillary and 'thousands of emails'. With Papodoplous continuing to try to set up a meeting between the Trump campaign and the MFA linked professor to get that dirt.
From June through August of 2016, Papodopolous pursuing an "off the record" meeting between campaign representatives and "members of president putin's office and the MFA."
With a Trump campaign official encouraging Papodopolous to make the trip and attend the meeting.
That sounds VERY relevant to Mueller's investigation.
