David Ignatius: We’ll Have a Wild Month Ahead on Russia Probe

‘In a sense, this is a conspiracy hiding in plain sight’

EXCERPT:

IGNATIUS: “Joe, I’m not somebody who goes for conspiracy theories. I think usually the simpler explanation is correct. So I’ve been reluctant to see this as a story of an American candidate and then president who was the tool of a foreign intelligence service. You begin to have to look at that more seriously now as you put everything together. In a sense this is a conspiracy hiding in plain sight, you just put together every known fact, every piece of video with Trump and Putin together. It’s our friend, Ben Wittes from Lawfare, who made this argument that you and I are talking about, that it's the obstruction that is the collusion. Suddenly that seems so clear. We're going to have a wild month ahead. It's likely that Mueller will issue his report over the next month and all these issues that are pregnant will come roaring at us. You can see the President is already destabilized as he thinks about how he’s going to have to deal with them.”
