Is the Mueller investigation bearing late-season fruit? Will Giuliani be part of the harvest?

[pnwmom]

A SDNY prosecutor, NICOLAS ROOS, assigned to the Parnas/Fruman Ukrainian case is ALSO one of the prosecutors of the Michael Cohen case (and Cohen is going to be giving additional testimony soon).

And so, since they are both being handled by the same prosecutor, I am wondering if this Parnas/Fruman/Guiliani case is one of the investigations Mueller passed to the SDNY before he left.

And what else might be out there, simmering.

Even as the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, submitted his confidential report to the Justice Department on Friday, federal and state prosecutors are pursuing about a dozen other investigations that largely grew out of his work, all but ensuring that a legal threat will continue to loom over the Trump presidency.

Most of the investigations focus on President Trump or his family business or a cadre of his advisers and associates, according to court records and interviews with people briefed on the investigations. They are being conducted by officials from Los Angeles to Brooklyn, with about half of them being run by the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan.

Some of those federal investigations in the Manhattan office, known as the Southern District of New York, grew out of its case against Michael D. Cohen, the president’s former lawyer and fixer. The inquiry into Mr. Cohen was turned over to the Manhattan federal prosecutors early last year after Mr. Mueller’s office spent months investigating him, court records unsealed this week show.

Two prosecutors who worked on the Cohen case, Thomas McKay and Nicolas Roos, remain in the unit. The investigations are overseen by the office’s criminal division, which recently got a new chief, Laura G. Birger; she succeeded Lisa Zornberg, who left the office to return to private practice.
