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.

"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.

Ha ha ha ha. I expected this to happen. Right when they thought it was time to start celebrating. This will definitely spin them up and they will, again, start screaming instead of thinking.

I hope his hubris is kept in check.

It would be a dumbazz move to testify in person.
