The unveiling today of indictments against 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities has raised speculation that Special Counsel Robert Mueller may be nearing the end of – or has effectively finished – his probe into collusion between the Trump administration and the Russian government.
But sources are telling Bloomberg that this isn’t true.
In addition to obstruction and the various financial improprieties of certain Trump associates, Mueller is still actively investigating collusion.
Earlier today, Trump tweeted in response to the indictment’s release that it effectively vindicates the Trump campaign, since many of the activities cited in the document began in 2014.
Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President. The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump campaign did nothing wrong – no collusion!

Instead, Mueller’s work is expected to continue “for months” with today’s indictment representing only a small slice of the investigation.
Friday’s indictment of a St. Petersburg-based “troll farm” and 13 Russian nationals should be seen as a limited slice of a comprehensive investigation, the person said. Mueller’s work is expected to continue for months and also includes examining potential obstruction of justice by Trump, said the person, who requested anonymity to discuss an investigation that is largely confidential.
A federal grand jury indicted the Russians for what it alleged was a vast scheme to interfere in the 2016 election and help Trump win. But Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said at a news conference Friday that there is “no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant” in the alleged scheme.

Just stating the obvious since the Mueller Special Smear Campaign was designed as a bottomless-pit-funded oppo research center for two reasons: to f#ck Trump as was clearly stated by the FBI (impeachment), and as oppo research for 2020 for both the primaries (Mitt) and the general election (Hillary - third time's the charm).
Correction: Mueller INTENDS for the investigation to go on for months.

27 Oct 2017: Buzzfeed: This Russian Campaign Turned Against Trump In The Days After The Election
A Facebook page linked to Russia helped organize anti-Trump rallies in Charlotte and New York.
by Ryan C. Brooks
(scroll down) VIDEO: 3mins35secs: from Charlotte Post: Andrew Fede. no Loretta Lynch, no Eric Holder now. instead it is Jeff Sessions, etc.
plus Jibril Hough, Islamic Center of Charlotte spokesman (check his Twitter account, also “Charlotte activist Jibril Hough was among two dozen people escorted out of a Donald Trump rally” Charlotte Observer)

2012: RedState: Radical Islam Joins the DNC
However, not all Muslims feel that BIMA represents them and M. Zuhdi Jasser M.D., Founder and President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, has expressed serious concerns.
‘It is troubling that the Democratic National Convention has decided to promote and lend its name and national political platform to the organizers of the “Jummah at the DNC”. The leaders of this event – Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj as advertised are no moderates. They are radicals.’...
‘A quick Google search by the DNC would have shown them that Hough and Wahhaj are leaders in the separatist American Islamist movement.’
Jibril Hough may be a name many in Charlotte are familiar with already. He is the leader of a Sunni mosque, The Islamic Center of Charlotte, who is been known for being outspoken against Representative Sue Myrick – a North Carolina Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee...

DNC influence, not Russians.
The only Russians I know HATE Hillary. These are people who fled Communism and understand its evils.

“Indictment Is Just The Start: Mueller Probe To Continue “For Months”
Thanks Jsff,..you asshole.h
And we're supposed to believe that these 13 Russians with computers had more influence than all of the MSM combined!
yeah going after every Facebook/Twitter troll could take a while. ahem.
Why no indictments of the left-wing European press who were singing HRC’s praises and denigrating Trump during the campaign? Those editorials were definitely meant to influence the U.S. electorate.
And that's why Mueller's not done. He hasn't got the fish he wants yet.
Mueller is a dirty Deep State player and is the #Resistance's point man for removing Trump.
He wants Trump stuffed and mounted over his fireplace mantle.
He’s requested 10’s of millions for the first 2 years. Government has made this “public servant” profanely wealthy.
I am both saddened and stunned.
Probably until just before or just after the 2018 mid-terms.
ALL Special Counsel investigations last for years:
Watergate-2 years: 1972 Break in at Democrat National Committee-1974 House Judiciary Committee Impeachment Articles and Nixon resignation.
Iran-Contra-6 years: 1986 Lawrence Walsh hired as Independent Counsel-1993, Walsh’s Final Report.
Whitewater & Lewinsky-7 years: 4 years for Ken Starr hired as Independent Counsel 1994-1998 Starr’s final report then 3 years, for Specal Counsel Robert Ray hired in 1999, final report in 2002.
Valerie Plame/CIA Outting-4 years-Patrick Fitzgerald appointed as Special Counsel, 2003-2007 conviction of Lewis “Scooter” Libby.
Russia-2016 U.S. Election-9 months, May 17, 2017-present
Impossible to know? Seriously? I would say it's quite obvious that the impact on the election was zero since this rally occurred AFTER the election. What a maroon!
When is Mueller going to indict Soros for meddling in US elections?
Just as soon as I learn to flap my arms and fly.
If Mueller had anything real, he would have put it out there by now. He’ll continue the “investigation” for as long as Trump is in office, even if he wins reelection in 2020. Then in 2024, he’ll announce that he is now going to investigate Pence.
