Steve Bannon’s appearance yesterday before the House Intelligence Committee, which saw him refusing to answer most of the questions, revealed that Donald Trump is desperate to keep anyone from learning about the conversations he had with Bannon after Bannon’s resignation. Corey Lewandowski’s appearance before the same committee today has revealed that Trump is similarly worried about anyone learning what he and Lewandowski discussed after he was fired (link). This just tipped off something crucial, and it’s pointing Special Counsel Robert Mueller toward the motherlode.

So now we know that Trump is less worried about what the likes of Bannon and Lewandowski said or did or saw or heard while they were officially employed by Trump, and he’s far more worried about the things he told them afterward. This spells out rather clearly that Trump is most comfortable discussing his criminal antics and obstruction schemes with people who are no longer officially on the payroll.

Why? Who knows. Perhaps Trump only feels at liberty to discuss these kind of sensitive things during one-on-one phone conversations in the evenings, and he can only really do that with his former advisers who are still in his personal inner circle. Regardless of why Trump has done things this way, he’s now given away that this is how he does it. The conversations that incriminate him are the ones that he’s had with his advisers after they were no longer advisers.

This tells Robert Mueller precisely where to find the motherlode of evidence against Donald Trump. He simply has to haul in people like Steve Bannon, Corey Lewandowski, and the dozen or more other senior advisers whom Trump has fired or pushed to resign, only to remain in communication with them. As has so often been the case, Trump’s paranoid attempt at a coverup has only served to point Mueller in the right direction.
