is"a damning account of a wildly successful Russian influence operation from start to finish," said Clint Watts, a former FBI agent and social media expert."The Russian approach was, 'Let's reset foreign policy relations with the United States in a way that we're getting everything we want,' and they were pursuing that on multiple fronts."In Volume I of Mueller's 448-page report, Mueller details a bevy of contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia.
