Mueller is looking at crimes unrelated to collusion. because manafort engaged in activities that were collateral to the collusion inquiry, but mueller found to be legally actionable. and i think the same inquiry may be made of trumps financial dealings and kushners financial dealings and flynns financial dealings, and cohens financial dealings. so the president may wish it so, but i think it is not. >> lets talk about wilbur ross.
