Of course, Trumps incessant tweeting provides a clear picture of one side of the controversy. He claims fake news, allegations that Mueller interfered with the 2016 election, that there was NO collusion with Russia, that the investigation is one of the biggest political scandals in history, that Mueller should be looking at crooked Hilary, not hm, that the FBI is engaged in spying and subversive actions against him .. etc, etc..
And of course Trump has also recently attacked fellow republican, Trey Gowdy for daring to counter his claim of FBI spying in the White House... and who has been taking all manner of shit from his party proper for speaking out.

We also know that a Trump ally has accused Mueller of exceeding his authority with respect to charges against Manaforte, in an attempt to get those charges dropped.
We also know that a federal court judge summarily dismissed those claims and refused to dismiss the charges against Manaforte. For reference see the following link

However, it is important to remember this is the focus and substance of the investigation...
That is a valid concern for any sovereign state to hold.Mueller's prosecutors allege the Russians attempted to subvert the Federal Election Commission, Justice's foreign agent requirements and State's visa process.
The following is a BBC link that provides a pithy overview of where things are at .. and the major players .. or as Mueller would refer to them as .. key individuals of interest.
So there are known knowns and a whole lot of speculation, fear mongering, radical reactionism on arguably both sides of political divide. But what needs to be born in mind, is that charges have been laid, some have been to court

And of course no one in Trumps legal team want him meeting with Mueller .. for what can only be stated as very obvious reasons

So there are new developments almost daily and a raft of less than pleasant accusations related to the Investigation and related to the subjects of the investigation.
We can make the attempt to keep across developments and try to make sense of them. Of course there will come a time when speculation is no longer needed. Till then .. we can attempt to sift through fact, theory, evidence and implications.
