All eyes are back on Mueller's investigation after the midterms
NBC "News" ^ | November 7, 2018 | By Allan Smith

Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into President Donald Trump will soon return to the limelight after Tuesday's midterms, and the battles with the White House are now likely to heat up fast.

For much of the past two months, Mueller's probe into Russian electoral interference and possible ties between Trump's campaign and Moscow went quiet, as had been expected. Department of Justice guidelines recommend not take any law enforcement actions within 60 days of an election to avoid influencing voters or even giving the appearance of swaying them.

Now that the polls have closed, the most immediate battle involves whether Trump will sit for an interview with Mueller.

Andrew Wright, who was associate counsel to President Barack Obama, told NBC News that it would make sense for a Trump interview to be among the last steps Mueller takes in the investigation before completing a report on his findings.

"I would expect that to come to pass at the end of the process, if (the interview) happens," Wright said, noting that investigators prefer to interview a key figure like Trump after they've completed all of their other investigatory work.

Precisely.

I thought Sekulow and DiGenova talked Trump out of it.

Er, sessions is gone.

That’s FAR more of an impact on this than the Ds taking the house.

It is quite clear that Judge Napolitano and FNC have turned into sycophants for the Deep State now. President Trump’s firing of sleepy time Sessions has nothing to do with obstruction of justice the demented Judge alleges. Moreover, Trump has the legal authority to fire Mueller at any tome, duh Judge.

Supposedly the new rumor according to Sara Carter, is that Donald Trump Jr is worried that Mueller is going to indict him(because of the Trump tower meeting)

I see nothing new in this article re: Trump’s legal team’s position on testifying. At best he might provide written answers to written questions, but no reason to answer a subpoena to appear in person.

There is another possibility...... Mueller will sit for an interview with the President.

The President can then make an offer in semi private that Mueller dare not refuse.

Trump, Jr. was probably having dinner with somebody and said “Could they indict me? Yeah, you can indict a ham sandwich in this country.”

"All eyes are back on Mueller's investigation after the midterms"

All eyes of the media and its anti-family, anti-American, free traitor sponsors.

Rather, the media and their anti-family, anti-American, free traitor sponsors. [Little grammar correction there.]

Mine aren't. In fact, never have been. I'm interested in factual stuff, not some crazy high-school witch hunt.
