You’re daft! The government obtained a FISA warrent on Manafort and had him wiretapped. This alone was sufficient to spark the Mueller investigation but there were other actions by other players that intelligence services, both US and foreign, became aware of. Your explanation of how the Mueller investigation came about makes no sense whatsoever. None. Nada. Zip. Bupkis. Nyet.
And I’ll point out that the Mueller investigation isn’t over yet so we don’t know the extent of what it has found, thus it can’t be described as “a pack of lies”.
Really, where do you get your information? You really need to find more sane, reliable sources!

No, sorry old sod, but I’m not at all who you think I might be or who once was someone else.

As for your “obstruction of justice” comment, I assume you’re referring to a meeting between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Lynch during the campaign. However, you don’t know what happened at that meeting any more than I do. It would take another investigation into it to know the details. At any event, that investigation didn’t happen and there is nothing to show that anything untoward was said or done as a result of it. That’s the fact of the matter. Or do you wish to assert that the FBI is in cahoots with the Clintons too? Like Jim Comey has a big crush on Hillary or something equally as plausible?

But riddle me this, Riddler: Why has every one of Trump’s campaign people, when asked of meetings with Russians, initially denied that any took place? Not some of the people, or even most of the people involved, but 100% of the people involved? Including the present Attorney General Mr. Sessions, who has “mis-rembered” those meeting 3 times before the US Congress.
Riddle me that, Riddler.

Actually, now many of the campaign’s people have admitted to having met with Russians during the campaign: Flynn, Don Jr., Sessions, Manafort, et. al. Need I go on? Meeting with them isn’t a crime but what they discussed might well be: “Conspiring to de-fraud the US election”. This is what they would be charged with, at the very least. It is a Federal crime. And no, oppo research isn’t a crime but conspiring with a foreign entity to influence a US election is.

This is the basis for the Mueller investigation which started, as you may remember, with intercepts by US intelligence agencies of campaign members’ phone calls and other electronic sources.

You may not like the Clintons, that’s fairly obvious by your post and you don’t have to live with the results of this election as you live in Europe now, far from the madding crowd here in the US. But I myself look forward to the results of Mr. Mueller’s investigation into the rather dicey Trump folks’ contacts with Russians all through their campaign.

And yet…and yet… there is evidence that the Trump campaign was in contact with various Russians all during the campaign. And they too were looking for “dirt” -on Clinton. The question now is: to what extent was the Trump campaign conspiring with Russia to subvert our election process? If they were involved in such a conspiracy, then the Trump organization has violated Federal laws and should be held to account, each and every one who so conspired.
Although you may not like the source of the information nor its underlying purposes, if it exposes criminal actions by anyone than it served a good cause.
