Special Counsel Robert Mueller is expected to deliver his report soon to Attorney General William Barr on Russian influence in the 2016 election, wrapping up an investigation he began in May 2017. He is looking into potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. But Mueller was given broad latitude to pursue other matters that arose from the investigation.
While Muellers report may remain secret, at least for a while, his actions have revealed compelling plotlines. The special counsels office has obtained indictments or guilty pleas from at least 34 people, 26 of them Russians. Several of the others were accused of lying about their contacts with Russians or about business dealings in Russia.
Mueller has handed off some matters uncovered by his investigators to other sections of the Justice Department. Federal prosecutors in New York, for instance, built a case against former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen that resulted in his guilty plea for tax fraud, false statements to banks and campaign finance violations.
New York prosecutors are also investigating Trumps company and inaugural committee. Democrats who control the House of Representatives are pursuing their own inquiries into Trumps world.

(3,344 posts)1. Yes, there are many clues.
But for this horrible opening sentence:
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is expected to deliver his report soon to Attorney General William Barr on Russian influence in the 2016 election, wrapping up an investigation he began in May 2017.
Nope. No evidence for this at all.

doesn't mean that the mountains are really there.
