I think I'll summarize my case myself, thanks
1. Manafort admitted that the 2016 campaign discussed peace plans for Ukraine with Russian intelligence.
2. Michael Cohen, Felix Slater and Andrii Artemenko conspired after the election to present a peace plan to Michael Flynn
3. Manafort shared polling data with Russian intelligence during the election and Russian intelligence used polling data to manipulate the election.
4. Manafort owed $17 million to a Russian oligarch who he then shared “private briefings” with. That is classic example of someone who has been compromised.
5. Russians stole emails and data analytics from the Democrats and may have shared this with the Trump campaign. Colluding with a foreign government to win a US election is fraud.
6. Associated with these revelations are a number of lies that have been told in the process of the investigation.
7. We also know of a high level meeting between senior Trump campaign officials and Russian intelligence operatives at Trump tower.
8. To date we (public) have learned of 97 contacts between Trump’s team and Russian operatives and 28 meetings.
This is more than enough to justify Mueller's investigation. It seems incomprehensible to me that a peace plan for the Ukraine could have been negotiated without Trump, Ivanka, Don Jr., and Jared somehow being involved. Perhaps not all, but the idea that Michael Cohen did this on his own is not believable.
