Mueller Is 'Ready to Indict Some Folks': Former FBI Assistant Director

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into claims of Russian interference in the 2016 election may see charges laid soon, a former top figure from the FBI who used to work with him has said.

Ex-FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi told MSNBC what he thought would happen to the probe after the appointment of Matt Whitaker as acting attorney general. That move followed the resignation of Jeff Sessions.

It is not clear what role Whitaker will play in overseeing the inquiry, which he has criticized for going too far in investigating the family finances of President Trump. Democrats fear the hostility to the probe might spur him to sabotage it, The New York Times reported.

Whitaker has also defended the meeting that took place between Donald Trump Jr. and Russian lobbyists in Trump Tower in June 2016.

But Figliuzzi told the anchor of The 11th Hour, Brian Williams, he had “a theory” that Mueller has already indicated what he is going to do.

“I think he’s ready to indict some folks and through those indictments will tell the story of what he’s found against the president.

“I’m not saying he’s indicting the president. I’m saying there’s a middle ground where he tells us the story, locks it into the court system by indicting others, then files a report with Whitaker,” he added.

1. Cautiously optimistic here.

I've read a million stories about how indictments are just around the corner, and they never happen. At some point, I believe they'll start falling. But until then, I never really know what to think.

2. Get on with it then. We're in a bit of a crisis here.

3. Do you think Mueller has a sealed indictment on Whitaker?

4. Why would he?

Whitaker hasn't done anything yet but flap his gums. He was apparently involved in a dodgy business while in private practice, but even if that was being investigated, it wouldn't be by Mueller.

6. he has been getting dark money for a while, so

prolly not indicted, but perhaps mentioned.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Unless that was connected somehow to the Russia investigation

it wouldn't be within Mueller's purview.

8. For Obstruction of Justice...

for being the WH mole -- as Sessions' Chief of Staff, acting as a go-between Atty Gen'l's office and the White House and divulging info on the Mueller probe to Trump and Kelly.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. But he hasn't been charged with those things.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's acted as a mole, but is there evidence of it sufficient to charge him with a crime, if that is a crime?

5. Please make it soon, Sir.

[Glimmer of Hope]

9. Friday is a good day to drop some indictments.

Party at my house if it happens!

[malaise]

10. Lock them up!

Please please please!

[brettdale]

11. It seems a lot of people are saying Mueller is getting ready to indict

For myself, its beginning to feel a lot like fitzmas.

With the way trumpy has been behaving and how hes turned it up lately, the world cant really
wait another 6 months.

[AJT]

13. He should have done something today.

Hurry Mueller.

[bluestarone]

14. I ONLY ask for one

The HEAD of the SNAKE!!!! RUMP RUMP RUMP!! What a wonderful wkend it would be!!! PLEASE PLEASE just ONE!!!

[tazkcmo]

15. I trust Mr. Mueller.

Experienced, smart, tough and a truly honorable person. He's 10 steps ahead of the Keystone Kops in the WH.
