This is a very large investigation with many different parts. Some parts could take years. The FBI is following the money of the Trump organization. If they find something they may not go directly after Trump, instead they could go after the Trump organization and the people in it.
They are also investigating the people who work for Trump in the Whitehouse. Many of them have committed felonies. Trumps son in law (who has a face you want to punch) lied on his security clearance. That's a felony. Flynn is facing multiple felonies. The little weasel, racist attorney general committed perjury. Manafort broke the law. All of them are going on trial. It could take a while.
They are also investigating Trump. This may have to be fast tracked. I believe mueller will show proof that trump committed obstruction of justice. Then I believe he will show proof Trump has been compromised by Russia. He is open to blackmail. That can not wait because it is a national security risk. The Sally Yates warning about Flynn now includes Trump. It is self evident trump can no longer serve as president because he is open to blackmail. Just my opinion.

(985 posts)Investigation is going to need meticulous, iron clad proof. Politically, it might be best for the shit to really hit the fan in late summer early fall of 2018, to get the maximum impact on the midterm election. I'm still worried that Trump could try to fire Mueller or cook up some pizzagate/swift boat bullshit smear against him to try to discredit him and the investigation.

The day after the election, I told my husband and my sister that tRUMP will probably have to do whatever Putin asks of him because if he doesn't, Putin will tell everything about how tRUMP colluded with him during the campaign!
