Just fishing for something on Trump
Think they will ever do this to Hillary???
That is how these witch hunts work - you dig into the deepest recesses of anyone at all associated with the one you are targeting. You dig up all the garbage you can on that associate and then press a truckload of charges (even if you have to invent crimes) - then pressure them to tattle on the real target in exchange for a reduction of the pile of charges you are pressing on them.
Then move on to the next associate - and repeat.
Doesn’t matter if the associate being raked over the coals has any pertinent information or evidence - because if you squeeze them hard enough - SOMETHING will come out - even if they make it up or lie to save their own skin.
Michael Cohen is an example - Mueller dug up some tax stuff and some other trash - then arranged for a massive set of charges that could equal a lifetime in prison - then “made a bargain” - plead to some tax evasion charges (probably legit) - and plead guilty to campaign finance violations (for what was not in any way an actual violation - ) so it could be “attached” to Trump.
The poster case of corrupt witch hunt.
