After being interviewed by special counsel investigators on Wednesday, former aide to Donald Trump's presidential campaign Michael Caputo told CNN that Robert Mueller's team is "focused on Russia collusion."
"It's clear they are still really focused on Russia collusion," Caputo said, adding, "They know more about the Trump campaign than anyone who ever worked there."
Caputo, who advised the Trump campaign on communications in 2016, has long insisted he has no information about collusion between Trump's team and Russia. He spoke with Senate intelligence investigators on Tuesday for their Russia probe and outlined the differences between Congress' inquiries and the special counsel's.
"The Senate and the House are net fishing," Caputo said. "The special counsel is spearfishing. They know what they are aiming at and are deadly accurate."

Pause should be taken by those that have posted on this board that Mueller's got "nothing" or that this is a "hoax", as this should well illustrate that this is a serious investigation with serious people looking into a dark, but serious matter of American history.
I particularly liked the last quote, "The special counsel is spearfishing. They know what they are aiming at and are deadly accurate." which suggests, to run with that metaphor, that what has been casually scoffed as a "fishing expedition", should end with the landing of the correct fish. These people know what they are doing.
Though I think most of us have grown weary of all of this, we should be in agreement that we want it done correctly and thoroughly with a comprehensive conclusion and any wrong doing prosecuted so that people learn to run clean campaigns, free of even the appearance of outside influence.
Even if Trump is not guilty of conspiracy, I think its hard to argue against the notion that the campaign was run foolishly in that he surrounded himself with persons that created, at least, the appearance of impropriety.
