Robert Mueller, the newly appointed special counsel in the investigation into Russia, will likely ask the multiple congressional investigations to curtail their public hearings in order to proceed with his own investigation, according to a Thursday New York Times report.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller Wednesday night, about a week after Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey.

Oh yes, we must do our dirty work against Trump in SECRET. We have made up records, tapes, phone calls and Russian people under oath so give us time to prepare all this fraudulent material. Sarc/

Why do FReepers continue to miss the point?

Ever since Trump's brilliant State of the Union speech, the opposition has been in overdrive to derail.

Trump's agenda has to be ground to a halt. That's all this is.

Dunno what you’re talking about. Mueller has essentially cut off four congressional investigations which is a good thing. He has now put everything into the one organ that can look into the Dems without being sidetracked. Wow.

What are YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?

THIS IS GOOD. THIS IS BRILLIANT. JESUS LORD AND SAVIOR.

He has scotched four “get Trump” investigations, which could never, ever go after Cankles or the DNC cuz the Dems on the committees would never allow it.

Now that investigation is in the hands of the one guy who actually CAN go after the Dems.

Hope your right. Time will tell.

Lou Dobbs and numerous others were NOT happy about the coziness between Comey and Mueller.

Unfortunately, many, many on our side are still looking at 10-yard outs when Trump is throwing 30 yard deep balls.

The Dems walked into a massive trap, and Vox and Rolling Stone BOTH have started to really warn them-—too late.

Thank you LS for being so active tonight. It will make a difference in troop morale.

I know you are correct.

When you get the time please read the thread titled “the inside story on james comedy.” Very long read but well worth it.

Not a chance that most witnesses would wish to attend congressional hearings with the special prosecuter lurking in the background. The SP will probably not allow Comey to testify in the open if at all and the document production? Forget it.

Can you imagine how nuts Mueller will get when CNN or another news outfit does a story and cites “Sources close to the investigation”?
