Something has been going on with Robert Mueller's investigation of people thought to have played significant roles in the Trump-Russia affair. The special counsel, assigned to investigate "any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Trump," has been farming out seemingly important parts of the investigation to offices outside his own.
In April, Mueller referred an investigation of close Trump associate Michael Cohen to federal prosecutors in New York. This month, the U.S. attorney in Washington — not Mueller — indicted Maria Butina on charges of being an unregistered Russian agent. And also this month, when Mueller charged 12 Russian intelligence officers with hacking Democratic Party and Clinton campaign offices, he immediately turned the case over to the Justice Department's National Security Division for prosecution.
What is going on? I asked a few former federal prosecutors if they saw any messages in Mueller's move. The takeaway: These aren't encouraging developments for those longing for a big collusion/conspiracy/coordination indictment from Mueller.
"I think it proves that little if any of what Mueller's team has generated so far is linked to the special counsel's mandate," said Former Prosecutor 1.
"I think Mueller doesn't have anything on collusion," said Former Prosecutor 2. "I think we would have seen it. I don't see anything that looks like there's a crime lurking — maybe he's got eight indictments under seal, but to me, it makes no sense. All of this says to me there is no there there."

Why is Mueller handing off key cases?
ReplyDeleteI think he should hand back the key(s) to any government facility he has and stay out. Retire or be fired old dude.
He is a UN NWO STOOGE
ReplyDeleteHe is doing this so he will not have to recuse himself from the investigating and hope these others will not link him to all this crooked events.
ReplyDeleteMark my word, he has nothing and postponing the trials to right before the 2018 elections so they can get their LIES and frame up out and it will be to late to prove them wrong until after the election so they can brainwash for votes. No doubt this witch hunt is not over. If the Democratic people fall for this garbage then they deserve everything they get, it is calling NOTHING because your Democratic government has plans to take it all!!!
