Special counsel Robert Mueller has brought 13 lawyers on board to handle the Russia investigation, with plans to hire more, according to his spokesman Peter Carr. Mueller has assembled a high-powered team of top investigators and leading experts, including seasoned attorneys who've represented major American companies in court and who have worked on cases ranging from Watergate to the Enron fraud scandal.
Among them are James Quarles and Jeannie Rhee, both of ( whom Mueller brought over from his old firm, WilmerHale.) He's also hired Andrew Weissmann, who led the Enron investigation.

Meanwhile, I am sorry, but it looks like Gorsuch’s first decision is BS:
Even if the original debt-holder sold the debt, there would be no debt for the purchaser to collect if they weren’t collecting funds that the target owed to the original debt-holder. This looks like a big biz giveaway.
Bleeding the U.S. Treasury for personal and political gain is the crime that should be investigated. It is time to shut down the Special Counsel and use these funds for the public good, not lawyer enrich and empowerment.
He may not have committed a crime but those who will decide will make sure of it.
It’s up to Congress.
The Junk Debt business is so rife with fraud that Congress should do something about it.
Debt gets sold off pretty quickly. Then come the vultures who don’t have to follow the law and can make someone’s life a living hell.
Btw, there is a big business in buying bankruptcy debt, too.
Obviously, criminal investigation take place AFTER a crime has been committed to isolate the guilty parties. In this Russian collusion case, most Americans know that a crime was committed per a US Russian connection buy the Obozo, AG Lynch (her cover up) and the Clintons but instead, Trump and crew are being investigated to SEE if a crime was committed. Obviously the fix is in and Mueller, Comey and company will manufacture a crime in order to remove Trump from the WH, per the ruling elite establishment’s orders of course. The days of truth (the final straw) are upon this country. I presume we’ll see what the American patriots are prepared to do to keep their country. For all of those who are in official public service positions, the coming event resulting from this inside establishment coup will certainly separate the patriots from those who just do as they are told.
Mueller MAGA again for unemployed Clintoonistas.
where are you getting this information about Kushner being under investigation? The NYT?
Is Mueller allowed to expand is roll to money laundering?
she is representing Kushner and Ivanka on ethics
Right, except there have been a lot of laws passed re: debt collection. What the SC apparently just did is say that none of those laws pertain if the collection agency has bought the debt. IMO it takes a willfully twisted reading of the language to come to Gorsuch’s conclusion that the debt collection laws don’t pertain in such cases.

Kushner’s attorney, Jamie Gorelick, appeared to downplay news of the investigation, saying that it was “standard practice” for Mueller to look into “anything related to Russia.”
and if the coup is completed we will no longer be individuals, we will be slaves..
give me liberty or give me death
On ethics?? Now that’s funny
This is one of the rare times that SCOTUS was in full agreement. Key word is “ANOTHER”
“Because the law defines debt collectors as “those who regularly seek to collect debts ‘owed ... another,’” Gorsuch said the statute’s plain language seems to focus on third-party collection agents regularly collecting for a debt owner instead of a debt owner seeking to collect debts for itself.””
This is a sham/farce. It is about Lawyers feeding Lawyers off of the American taxpayer. It is also a cover up for the Democrats. The Obama and Clintons.
Taxpayers would like to know:
Who in the senate authorized the hiring?
What are their individual rates of pay?
What is their employment term?
Are benefits included and what are they?
What employment-related expenses are covered? (car/flights/meals, etc)
What are the political affiliations of each hire?
What area specifically are each assigned to?
How many support staff per hire? what are their rates of pay, benefits, perks, etc?
Trump has the sharpest legal counsel, complete with skilled research staff, available.
He can afford to wait for this faux investigation to creep along for an extended time before launching a counter attack. He’s probably smiling in his sleep.
When this is over, Mueller and Comey and Co won’t be able to get hired at a 7-11 store.
clean house, sessions abandoned him, the dag is out for him, the special investigator is compromised..fire mueller, arrest comey for treason, arrest the clintons and put a warrant out for George Soros or the game is over..
