I saw this little tidbit on MSNBC about the wrap up of Mueller's team.
What I find interesting are the 3 prosecutors who left the team that are still working on "matters assigned to them during their detail."
We've discussed this before but it's another very interesting wrinkle.

It indicates that Mueller & Rosenstein have taken 2 separate routes to expand upon evidence of further crimes that Mueller has uncovered outside his scope. One having RR refer the cases to other offices, such as Cohen, Podesta, Craig, Weber & Butina. This quote shows the 2nd way.
Having prosecutors from Mueller's team, take cases identified by the SC investigation out of the case to expand the investigation as a separate jurisdiction & scope. So what are these 3 new investigations? #ButNothingsHappening
Trying to figure out which three may be interesting. Obviously the most visible could be the new expansion of the FARA unit at DOJ National Security Division under Brandon Van Grack. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
But EDNY terrorism prosecutor Zainab Ahmad, has also left the team but will still be involved in certain aspects. Mueller's spokesman Carr seems pretty clear that she is taking work found in the Mueller case to her next assignment which is unannounced. news.yahoo.com/last-prosecuto…
Another candidate might be Scott Meisler, he got almost identical comments from Mueller spokesman Peter Carr. cnn.com/2019/02/06/pol…
Meisler was one of the two attorneys who represented Mueller in the fight with the foreign government owned financial entity that was fighting subpoenas claiming bank secrecy laws forbid them from sharing information.
Two prosecutors left during August 2018, and Ryan Dickey stayed with DOJ while Richardson left the department. Dickey probably worked the cybertroll & hacking investigations, but left the team & hasn't been heard from. Don't know what that means...
The other 1 I think is still working the case is Kyle Freeny, She left the team in October (ish) to go back to the DOJ's money laundering unit. So I think she clearly left Mueller's team with work assigned that was outside his scope. She's a major player in #ButNothingsHappening
She is one of the attorneys leading the 1MDB case. Who are they targeting? An RNC fundraiser who is very Swampy & hired Cohen to get his Playboy Bunny mistress to sign an NDA! justice.gov/opa/pr/us-seek…
Broidy's accomplices, including a DOJ lawyer assigned to provide support to Congress, have been indicted or plead guilty to laundering money to try & convince Trump to drop the #1MDB case! Money coming from some long-time Obama & Clinton donors.
You can read a little bit about that case here & one a few of my other #ButNothingsHappening threads!
