Mueller reportedly plans to issue new indictments in the Russia investigation as soon as Tuesday

Source: Business Insider

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is expected to issue new indictments as part of the Russia investigation as soon as today, CBS reported on Tuesday, citing multiple sources with knowledge of the probe.

The news comes as acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, plans to consult with Department of Justice ethics officials about whether he should recuse himself from Mueller's investigation into the Trump presidential campaign's ties to Russia.

Since Mueller started his probe last May, his team has charged four Americans once affiliated with Trump's campaign or administration, 13 Russian nationals, 12 Russian intelligence officers, three Russian companies, and two other people.

They include Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos, and Trump's former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

if evidence emerges he did anything illegal like trying to obstruct the investigation to protect Trump for example.

He's setting himself up if he does anything trump wants now, but again his appointment was unconstitutional in the first place, so anything he does will not stand, and he'll only put himself in prison if he does things to obstruct in any way. Now the risk of trump starting a war , or allowing an attack on us is a greater threat. Especially a major cyber attack by putin on us, all for distractions, or too blame on others with.

to protect their prize asset in the WH. We just don’t yet know what form it will take, or what degree of coordination it will require by dotard.

What is that rhyme,

Don't fuck with Mueller,
Leave my Mueller alone.

There is a diddy that we used to sing ...

When yo reach seventy you lose things (like your diddy).

not only all the meetings, he made a couple "made up his mind" public statements revealed his thoughts about the investigation. He's not even a legal appointment anyway.

Trump should call back Sally Yates, she gave him the best advice.

Surely he has been advised indictments are gonna be unsealed/issued.

Curious he didn't stomp them.

This "thing" was and is massive. And while they are at it I'm willing to bet that
Fox News is linked to Trump/Russia too. Election rigger Kris Kobach needs his
ass kicked too.

The Russians needed help on the inside to flip our elections. Both Paul Ryan and
McConnell were very well aware about what Russia was doing in 2016 and choose
to say nothing.

Perhaps this explains why Michael Cohen showed up with his legal team in DC yesterday and there appears to be a crowd gathering today at federal courthouse, as the media has been told a grand jury will convene soon

C'mon! It doesn't get anymore obvious than this!! What the fuck is wrong with you, GOP? The MFr is as guilty as sin of soooo many broken laws!
I hope to god you guys completely lose your party. I hope the GOP goes down in flames—forever!—when this is all over.
And long live the U.S. constitution.
