The special counsel officially concluded its investigation on Friday, but several loose ends remain.

The special counsel’s grand jury investigating Russian collusion into the 2016 presidential election is “continuing robustly” despite the end of Robert Mueller’s probe, a federal prosecutor said in court Wednesday.

David Goodhand, an assistant U.S. attorney, acknowledged the grand jury’s active status during a hearing in federal district court over a push to unveil the identity of a foreign-owned company that has been held in contempt for defying a Mueller subpoena.

During a brief open hearing Wednesday, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court, Beryl Howell, pressed Goodhand to say if the grand jury Mueller had been using in the case remained active.

“It is continuing,” the prosecutor replied. “It’s continuing robustly.”

1. Maybe the most important sentence

The fact the grand jury is continuing its work adds a new layer of uncertainty to the Mueller probe, which Attorney General William Barr announced on Friday was finished.

8. "which Attorney General William Barr [FALSELY] announced on Friday was finished."

Barr lied. Mueller's not done, and he has not released anything.

14. Interesting!

2. He's still on the job. Those over the weekend that were crowing about "he's finished"...

...are woefully uninformed. There are still a number of indictments that haven't been unsealed, and he's got a lot more work to do.

All Mueller has done is issue his report on Russian interference in the campaign, that's all.

3. "Mission Accomplished" Part II (nt)

4. Stay ROBUST, grand jury!! Don't stop now!

Mr. Mueller has handed off who knows how many cases to who knows how many prosecutors

Hang tough, everybody

WE AIN’T DONE YET

OH HELL NO

5. So did the Mueller report just clear Trump (per Barr) ....

....and what is remaining is the Trump family members?

[lagomorph777]

9. NOPE. There is no Mueller Report. Barr fabricated his entire letter.

[rockfordfile]

11. No. Mueller was selected not to do that. So basically what they do release is the Republican report

6. The Grand Jury issues indictments.

7. Good

Happy to hear this.

10. The comment wars in that article are funny.

But you see it in Comment Sections everywhere.

The Trumpanzees got nothing and typically get destroyed in the back and forth. Anti Trumpers usually make intelligent, fact based arguments supported by logic and the knuckle draggers have only CT's, unimaginative insults and the same boring labels and name calling.

They are usually noticeably outnumbered as well.

Amusing...

13. what are CT's?

[Habibi]

15. Conspiracy theories, I think. nt

[diva77]

16. Aha! Makes sense. Thx

[Ligyron]

17. Yes, conspiracy theories.

Thanks.

12. Barr will stop the Grand Jury using the "no collusion" as a means to stop and the idiots will agree
