Last month, when President Donald Trump was asked by The New York Times if special counsel Robert Mueller would be crossing a line if he started investigating the finances of Trump and his family, the President said, "I think that's a violation. Look, this is about Russia." The President is absolutely correct. Mueller has come up to a red line in the Russia 2016 election-meddling investigation that he is dangerously close to crossing.
According to a CNN article, Mueller's investigators could be looking into financial records relating to the Trump Organization that are unrelated to the 2016 election. According to these reports, "sources described an investigation that has widened to focus on possible financial crimes, some unconnected to the 2016 election." The piece goes on to cite law enforcement sources who say non-Russia-related leads that "involve Trump associates" are being referred to the special counsel "to encourage subjects of the investigation to cooperate."
This information is deeply concerning to me. It does not take a lawyer or even a former federal prosecutor like myself to conclude that investigating Donald Trump's finances or his family's finances falls completely outside of the realm of his 2016 campaign and allegations that the campaign coordinated with the Russian government or anyone else. That goes beyond the scope of the appointment of the special counsel.

Well we don’t know how much time Whitaker has left but it might be only a few weeks.... Barr could be confirmed in Jan.
ofc Barr seems like he will not be too friendly to the Mueller coup, so Democraps and RINOs will go crazy with his confirmation process.
From early returns, it seems that some people reading the headline or excerpt are missing the important point about who wrote this and when.
I heard Deacon Jones say that once - long time ago
Barr (or whomever it is) is the next Kavanaugh. Endgame begins the day after the rats get “inaugurated “ in the new lower house. The big impeachment push.
