Mueller’s mandate was a fact-finding mission. If he is indeed wrapping up soon, it’s because he has a clear idea of what happened in 2016. After the fact-finding is complete, the necessity of a Special Counsel almost goes away. Federal prosecutors can handle any future charges.
Which is why I emphasize again, Mueller finishing up his work is not synonymous with the Russia investigation ending. Quite the contrary.
A Democratic House ensured that matters that Mueller didn’t investigate (Russian money laundering into Trump properties, reportedly) will be run to ground by Congress.
This began with Trump firing Comey because the FBI was investigating Russia. It will end with local, state, federal and Congressional authorities picking up where Mueller leaves off.

August 3, 2016: Manafort gives Kilimnik 75 pages of detailed private polling data. The two previously discussed how Manafort could level his debt (millions) to Oleg Deripaska.

August 9, 2016: Deripaska is pictured with Prigozhin, the head of the Russian troll factory.
Note: Kilimnik flew back to Moscow on whose jet after meeting Manafort? Deripaska’s.
Correction: Meeting was August 2, Kilimnik flew back to Moscow on the 3rd.

Delighted to reveal the final jacket art for my upcoming Trump-Russia book. Endorsed by @JeffMerkley @ericswalwell @AdamParkhomenko @amandacarpenter @jentaub @MuellerSheWrote, the book is a guide to the 5 main pillars of the Mueller probe. Preorder: simonandschuster.com/books/Real-New…
The Russia investigation is complicated and difficult to understand as a concept. This book isn't. It's 200 pages of hard evidence of the 5 areas of the Trump-Russia conspiracy - Trump Tower Moscow, secret NY meetings, NRA, various business dealings, and the Papadopoulos affair.
Subscribers to premosocial.com/scottstedman have the option to order a signed copy of the book for just $18. You'll probably receive it early, as well! Rep Swalwell on the intel committee is going to read it, you should too.

This is what truly great investigative journalism looks like. Bloomberg finds that Arron Banks £8M Brexit donation was approximately 1/4 of Banks’ entire portfolio of assets.
I don’t know about you but I usually like to throw around 1/4 of my savings account on political movements that are highly improbable
If Banks didn’t use his own money to fund Brexit it would break federal law in England. Banks and Trump met in December 2016 just as Banks was cozying up to the Russian ambassador

💥💥💥#Mueller: #Russians leaked files to "discredit"? #Concord & #Kavanaugh connection, A thread. 👇
theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
1. Note the date: the confidential files with evidence were leaked in October 2018.
2. The Twitter account has been removed. It's old news. There is nothing discrediting to Mueller's investigation in the fact that the Russians stole the files. If anything, it confirms that, yes, Russians hack.

I'M TIRED OF THE #MUELLER PROBE

Tired of the fact that it has focused everyone on some hyped-up future event while Trump and his GOP cronies have already gutted our Constitution.

Tired of the media pretending we don't already have ample evidence of collusion and obstruction.
I'M TIRED OF THE #MUELLER PROBE

Tired of how it has created unrealistic hopes that Trump will be taken down.

Tired of how it provides cover for House Dems not to use the power the people gave them.

Tired of how it has lulled Dem leaders and given the GOP time to stack SCOTUS.
I'M TIRED OF THE #MUELLER PROBE

Tired of seeing people like Rudy Giuliani spin and lie and spin and lie.

Tired of the breathless scoops that fade in a day and only serve to normalize Trump.

And yet, I respect #Mueller and how disciplined and methodical he has been.

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

THREAD: What does news that Mueller filed criminal charges mean?
1/ @CNN just reported that a grand jury approved the first indictment in the Mueller investigation. cnn.com/2017/10/27/pol…
3/ An indictment is a document that sets forth criminal charges. Only a grand jury can vote to issue an indictment.
