Mueller's real target seems to be former Trump campaign manager Paul J. Manafort Jr. This small-potatoes indictment comes a year after the outlines of a Watergate-like conspiracy emerged in which a term-limited Democrat president used the privacy-invading apparatus of the state to spy on a Republican presidential candidate.
Mueller's latest piñata is Alex van der Zwaan, a Russian-speaking, London-based attorney and the son-in-law of Russian oligarch German Borisovich Khan.
Van der Zwaan is the 19th person to be charged by Mueller.
According to court documents, van der Zwaan deleted or failed to hand over emails sought by Mueller's office.
According to a New York Times summary of the court appearance, van der Zwaan "Acknowledged he lied to prosecutors about a September 2016 conversation with Rick Gates over work they did together for a Ukrainian political party aligned with Russia."
Court documents in the van der Zwaan case state that while the lawyer was employed in 2012 by Skadden, Arps, the law firm prepared a report for Ukraine's Ministry of Justice on the trial of Tymoshenko, who in 2011 was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison for abusing her power.
The Mueller investigation, as increasingly pointless, petty, and partisan as it seems, continues.
