I think it's been clear for a while now that it's obstruction of justice into illicit payments that is the real substance of the Mueller investigation. It is for that the existing charges have been for after all. The FBI investigation this replaced had also, it seems, been heading down that route and it's this that Steve Bannon thought was the biggest liability.

It's unlikely this will reach as high up as Trump though. Mueller clearly has someone in his sights hence why the existing charges for Flynn and the guy with the long name have been given generous plea deals. We don't know what they've given Mueller or what Papadopoulos was doing in the several months he was working for Mueller unannounced to anyone else.

But unless Mueller is keeping a bunch of stuff about Russian collusion under wraps it's the payments which have been the only information that's come out from the investigations so far.
