CNN article: Acting AG Whitaker: Mueller investigation 'close to being completed'
A recap of the article. There are independent signs that the investigation may be nearing its end. Deputy AG Rosenstein will be leaving soon after AG nominee William Barr's confirmation; he has previously "signaled" that he would leave when the investigation was complete or close enough that it was protected. Some investigation prosecutors have moved to different jobs, and some of its cooperators have been moved toward sentencing. The special counsel's federal grand jury's work could continue; the grand jury was extended for another six months.
Trump associates, campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his deputy Rick Gates, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, and campaign adviser George Papadopoulos have been indicted or have pleaded guilty. Adviser Roger Stone (one of the last key campaign associates in Trump's orbit) has been arrested. Also indicted were Russian business associate Konstantin Kilimnik, 12 Russian military intelligence officers, along with 13 Russians and three companies that allegedly manipulated social media to sway US voters.
Quite the haul for a Witch Hunt. How much money spent and how many investigations, probes, and reports have there been concerning Hillary Clinton's emails and Benghazi? Too many. And how many indictments and arrests were made? Zero. Crooked who? Lock up who? 🤔
