We all thought Mueller was waiting until after the midterms to start revealing evidence Trump was personally involved in Russia collusion.
Turns out he was actually just waiting for Trump to submit his sworn denial he did any such thing.

Let's be clear: the court docs Mueller dropped this morning are the entire ballgame.
“Individual 1”: Trump
“Individual 2”: Felix Sater
“Russian Official 1”: Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov
Of note in this passage: Michael Cohen "briefed family members of Individual 1 within the Company about the [Moscow] project."
Cohen previously identified individual one as Trump.
"I made these misstatements to be consistent with individual 1's political messaging and out of loyalty to individual 1," Cohen said in court, according to Reuters.
He previously identified individual one as Trump.

It appears Cohen's testimony may be giving Mueller more than we thought
Michael Cohen, President Trump's former lawyer, is pleading guilty to lying to Congress about work he did on a Trump real estate deal in Russia. Cohen made a surprise appearance in a New York courtroom and began entering the plea.
The new Cohen court docs are pretty explicit who INDIVIDUAL 1 is, & what INDIVIDUAL 1's direct role in Trump Russia Collusion was

Dots are connecting. Guns are smoking. The conspiracy to undermine our Democracy is staring us directly in the face. The Criminal-In-Chief and his coterie of amoral liars will be brought to justice. Have patience. Good things come to those who wait.

Mueller asked Trump about 2016 RNC platform change regarding Ukraine
The list of questions special counsel Robert Mueller submitted to President Donald Trump included a query about a controversial change to the Republican party’s convention platform in June 2016 regarding the U.S. providing arms to Ukraine, according to sources familiar with the president’s responses.
Trump submitted his answers to special counsel Mueller last week after months of negotiating over how the questions would be handled. ABC News has previously reported that the questions, which were divided into five sections, focused mostly on whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the presidential campaign cycle, according to sources.
The platform revision occurred as the Republican National Convention got underway in Cleveland. On July 18, party insiders took the unusual step of watering down its formal position on whether the U.S. should help protect Ukraine from Russian incursions – a move viewed as a surprising concession to the Russian government at a time of tension in Ukraine.
The platform change took place during the Republican convention organized by then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Manafort had previously worked for a pro-Russian Ukrainian political party.

Sources tell @ABC News the President told Mueller he was not aware of the platform change to the best of his recollection. That would be consistent with his answer to a question about the matter to ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos during the summer of 2016 https://abcn.ws/2FJyYuZ

Whoa. Trump drew a line in the sand.
Whoa.He had better hope Mueller doesn't have something that contradicts these denials or that's all she wrote.

Hillary Clinton: Trump is 'part of the coverup' in Khashoggi killing
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday suggested that President Trump is “part of the coverup as to what happened” in the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
Clinton, Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign rival, kicked off a paid speaking tour in Toronto by hitting the president over his response to the killing of Khashoggi in a Saudi Arabian consulate last month, saying that Trump and “those closest to him” have their “own personal” interests.
“We have a president who is part of the coverup as to what happened in that consulate or embassy when Mr. Khashoggi was murdered,” Clinton said.
“And we have a president and those closest to him who have their own personal commercial interests,” she added.
