What they said was that there could be even more significance to seeing it from another perspective. They said:
"Put aside Russian collusion for a moment. Press pause on possible presidential obstruction of justice. Forget Stormy Daniels. The most significant recent development involving the president may be that the special counsel, Robert Mueller, has subpoenaed Trump Organization business records as part of his inquiry into Russian interference in the presidential election."

You ought to try reading your own source, Chuckles. Very first sentence, the reader is asked to "put aside" any notions of Russian collusion. But then they wait six-paragraphs after the headline to drop this bombshell:
"This reporting has not uncovered conclusive evidence that the Trump Organization or its principals knowingly abetted criminal activity."
Now that should have been the headline.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Trump's money laundering activities for the Russian mob have been an 'everyone knows it, nobody can prove it' kind of open secret for decades.
The New York real estate market has been particular popular for international money laundering:
By various estimates a quarter to a third of the real estate market in New York is laundered money. Trump's a New York real estate mogul who was down on his luck a couple of decades ago after his bankruptcies and had to look for financing from... alternative... sources. He'd built good mob connections over the years, and at that time there were a lot of Russian oligarchs looking to launder their money. Of course he's up to his eyeballs in laundered money. What's been stopping people proving anything up until now is that the Trump Organisation is shell corporations inside shell corporations to hide what's really going on. But that kind of criminality-through-obfuscation that usually works for rich people hiding their money, won't work when Mueller's group are empowered to follow the money trail to see where it leads and see if there really are Russians behind the curtain."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

"No conclusive evidence that Trump did anything wrong, but maybe, maybe, maybe...!"
That's all anti-Trump liberals have is "maybe"; nothing conclusive, nothing you could take to court, just "maybe", and low-info brainless wonders like you fall for it every... single... time.
It's actually kind of hilarious.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Sorry, but Trump isn't, and never has been, a target of Mueller's investigation. Meanwhile, Sessions has been quietly spearheading the investigation into the real criminals. You really have no idea what's coming, do you?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
