Its an investigation thats led to dozens of indictments, seven guilty pleas and one conviction. Some of the presidents closest allies have been sentenced to jail, even after flipping on him and cooperating in lieu of leniency.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is widely reported to be winding down his investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 election and could submit a report to the attorney general as early as February. Former federal prosecutors, including one that worked on the Watergate investigation, have told Newsweek there is no certainty as to how much longer the probe could last, but they do believe Muellers most consequential and important indictments are yet to come.
Its probable, the former prosecutors say, that Mueller still has his sights set on individuals at the highest levels of the United States government: President Donald Trump and his family.
Although costing millions of dollars, the probe has uncovered numerous schemes by a foreign adversary to hack and influence American elections through complex social media campaigns and cyber-attacks on elections systems.

(56,829 posts)Whenever you hear this information, it always comes from anonymous sources and it is ALWAYS wrong. According to Seth Abramson, there were SEVEN times in 2018 where the media was leaked a story about the Mueller investigation being close to wrapping up. That is once every 7 1/2 weeks.
The source is an anonymous person within the White House and it's most likely getting information from Trump himself, or somebody right next to Trump (Rudy G, Don Jr, Kushner, etc)
If you keep telling people that indictments are coming any day now and that the probe is almost done - and the indictment doesn't happen and the investigation keeps going, it makes the probe look like a fishing expedition or (gasp) a WITCH HUNT.
Roger Stone has claimed he's about to be indicted "any day now" since last Spring. Don Jr claimed similar in November. Neither one has been indicted.
Speculation on my part, but based on Stone's rantings on Instagram last week, I think Team Mueller is looking to flip Corsi, which could lead to Stone indictments... and, then Mueller looks to try to flip Stone to get the goods on Don Jr, Kushner or Donny Dollhands himself.

(56,829 posts)If Mueller can tell him that he has a boatload of state charges to refer to NY, NJ, MD, DC or elsewhere, he might. I don't think Donny is very inspiring of loyalty, so if Stone has a change to get a slap on the wrist versus turning on Donny, he won't hesitate.

(90,793 posts)...."nothing" is happening. Folks, I hate to tell ya, but by now that is a RW talking point straight out of Giuliani's mouth.
I have a feeling some of the Trump Klan is stress eating and others are unable to hold food down.
Mueller is doing very well indeed, and by spreading the information around to different jurisdictions, he is ensuring a lifetime of misery for the Trumps and their associates whether he is fired or not.

I predict that by the time Bobby 3 Sticks is finished, Trump and Putin will find they bit off far more than they could chew.
