Mueller investigation near completion, acting AG Whitaker says
NBC News ^ | 01/28/2019 | By Dareh Gregorian

Posted on 01/28/2019 2:34:15 PM PST by Red Badger

Special counsel Robert Mueller has almost finished up his nearly two-year investigation into collusion and Russian interference in the 2016 election, the acting attorney general said Monday.

"The investigation is, I think, close to being completed, and I hope that we can get the report from [Special Counsel] Mueller as soon we — as possible," acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said during a news conference after announcing criminal charges against one of China's largest telecommunications companies.

"I have been fully briefed on the investigation, and I look forward to director Mueller delivering the report, and I really am not going to talk about an open and ongoing investigation otherwise," he added.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Waiting for Barr to be sworn in to close it down.

“The investigation is, I think, close to being completed”

Well that sounds definitive and certain /s Rudy couldn’t have put it better.

See if you can find the commercial where Stone taunts Mueller to arrest him. He was admitting to having close tie with Russia while picking up a bottle of expensive Russian Vodka.

Am thinking Stone may be setting up one of his notorious “dirty tricks”. Would pay to see discovery.

“Mueller investigation near completion, acting AG Whitaker says”

Whitaker is nothing but a mouthpiece and puppet for Heinrich Mueller.

A lot of peeps have the wrong idea.

Whitaker is more of a threat to them then Barr.

If they’re worried about anyone, it’s Whitaker. They didn’t brief him without a struggle.

“...and I really am not going to talk about an open and ongoing investigation otherwise,” he added.

Ah, the old default statement by the feds who don’t have an iota of a clue as to what is going on.

Am I the only person not to have seen this?

CONGRESSMAN CURT WELDON DEFEATED BY MUELLER’S FBI Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA-7) investigated why then-U.S. Attorney Robert Mueller refused to allow the Pentagon's Able Danger office to give the FBI the intelligence that Able Danger had gathered that Al Qaeda was planning to carry out the 9-11 attacks. Mueller's refusal cleared the way for Al Qaeda to kill nearly 3000 Americans on September 11, 2001. Mueller later retaliated against Rep. Weldon by raiding the home of Weldon's daughter just before the 2006 election. No criminal charges were ever filed because the Weldons had committed no crime. The highly publicized raid was committed solely to smear the Weldons just before the election.

Or this:

MUELLER’S ILLEGAL RAID ON CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES

Mueller violated 200 years of legal precedent when his FBI raided the office of Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA-2). The process that Mueller ignored was that, when a Congressman is being investigated, the FBI contacts the House Counsel, who then directs the Congressman on exactly which documents must be given to the FBI. Mueller's raid and search of ALL of Rep. Jefferson's files violated the safeguarding of the private information of whistleblowers who ask Congress to investigate corruption in the FBI.

(Robert Mueller's lifelong criminal career)

How corrupt is the FBI....who do they answer to?

So the Trump-appointed US Attorney is recused from the Cohen investigation. We don’t know the full scope of the recusal.

"...we have investigated and charged former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with treason.”

Child-like thoughts.

For some reason I get this image from Whitaker to be one of Sgt Schultz saying, “I know nothing... I see nothing!!!!”
