President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.
[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

I was not surprised when I googled your claim and the first five hits were russian propaganda sites.
If that's not proof that Mueller's investigation has got the russians quaking I don't know what is.
BTW, Mueller has made no substantive public or off-the-record statements about the investigation for anyone to "align" with. That ship is so tight that it hasn't leaked a single drop.
But he has collected six guilty pleas from five criminals:
o Michael Flynn - Whitehouse National Security Advisor
o George Papadapolous - Campaign National Security Advisor
o Richard Gates - Lieutenant to Campaign Chair
o Richard Penedo - Broker of stolen identities to Russians
o Alex van der Zwaan - Son-in-law of Russian oligarch German Khan (owner of Alfa Group)

Googled myself, and I did get RT... but those other "Russian propaganda sites" were Washington Post, CNN and Wikipedia... even Mother Jones - "Lie by lie - how we got into Iraq". I suppose they've all become Putin puppets, right? McCarthyism = not engaging with an argument, and smearing ideological enemies as traitors... way to prove my point!
BTW, have you seen the bullshit charges those "Trump scalps" have been pulled up on? eg. lying to the FBI, "ordinary" corrupt Washington practices, wire fraud etc... I have no doubt Trump is neck-deep in garden variety corruption, as are most of these oligarchs and their political servants. Makes a good headline though (provided noone reads into it too deeply).
