17 Q.83 Now I am going to read something that could happen, and I want you to tell me how you would respond. Last week, the Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian military intelligence officers for criminally hacking into the computer systems of the Democratic Party and Clinton campaign. Imagine next month the Special Counsel indicts core leaders of the Trump campaign, including its former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Donald Trump, Jr., for criminally cooperating with the Russians. Imagine Counsel Mueller also issues a final report to Congress that concludes that President Trump obstructed justice by firing the FBI Director, attacking federal investigators and pushing House allies to end all investigations into Russian interference.
