Special Counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly calling for more manpower to assist him with the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Bloomberg reported Thursday that Mueller is asking veteran prosecutors from the Justice Department and U.S. attorneys’s offices, as well as FBI agents, for help with new legal battles that have cropped up as a result of his investigation. Though he is not adding to his team of 17 federal prosecutors, he has called on investigators in New York, Alexandria, Va., Pittsburgh, and other cities to help him.
Permanent Justice Department units have actually spent more money ($9 million) on the Russia probe than Mueller’s team ($2.3 million). Mueller was tasked by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein with investigating ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election, and “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation.”

He has found absolutely nothing related to the election.
He has illegally violated attorney client privilege, illegally leaked confidential information to the media, exceeded his authority and lied about nearly everything.
Now he wants even more people reporting to him.
Bob. Bob. Bob.
Report: Mueller Calls on More Prosecutors to Help with Expanding Russia Probe to make it look like he’s doing something
Expanding Probe?
Are they investigating the “Big Bang” now too?
And the constitutionalists, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, have said nothing about this unconstitutional probe.
I wounder what it would be like to have a congress that was not part of the swamp and actually exercised it’s oversight obligations?
The coup continues.
One’s prestige in DC is directly proportional to the number of people who answer to you. Mueller’s simply trying to garner more power while he’s chasing smoke.
” or any other matters arising from the investigation”
What dumbass wrote this and agreed to it?
This is a perpetual Grand Inquisitor.
This is just a phony “CASH COW” for Mueller and his BFF; a money making CON, as well as part of a third world like COUP.
Give the man a free helicopter ride
if nothing is being done it is necessary to hire more people to get the job done .... government think
Yes it does. The Democrats will destroy this country.
Hillary didn’t win. They didn’t get their way. Therefore, they will destroy what’s left.
And W and Jeb! look on while Obama stirs up whatever he can on the side.
Because Lyin’ Ted and his best bud, Mike, the worm, Lee, are all FOR “getting Trump”!
Maybe this is fake news? One can hope.
EXACTLY!
The FBI and NSA spied on the Trump campaign and the transition team for over a year. You would think they would have all the evidence they need by now.
It’s an attempted coup people. Act accordingly.

Mueller may need to put 60 million Trump associates and supporters in prison before finding the one who will say what Mueller wants to hear. That takes a lot of prosecutors. /sarc
Mueller is making a career out of this witch hunt. Time for the funds to be cut off before the U.S. goes broke supporting those idiots.
