CNN legal analyst: Charges filed in Mueller probe means it will last 'well into 2018'

CNN legal analyst: Charges filed in Mueller probe means it will last 'well into 2018'
BY BRANDON CARTER - 10/28/17 08:12 AM EDT

CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Friday that news of the first charges reportedly being filed in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference means the probe will last “well into 2018.”

“If anybody thinks the Mueller investigation is going to be wrapping up in the next couple of months, this decision today pretty much guarantees the Mueller office will be up and running well into 2018,” Toobin said on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.”

They and their orange dictator have done serious damage to America already.

How much worse will it be for us and the world in general by the time the 2018 elections finally get here?

night when I heard him say it. I seems reasonable but I wish we could skip ahead a year. It is so frustrating and exhausting...hasn't even been a year and seems like 100 instead.

As the legal process unfolds, the political process may become more important. Congress may have no choice but to act or be complicit.
