Special Counsel Mueller Impanels Washington Grand Jury in Russia Probe
WSJ ^ | 08/03/2017 | Del Quentin Wilber and Byron Tau

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections, a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The grand jury, which began its work in recent weeks, is a sign that Mr. Mueller’s inquiry is ramping up and that it will likely continue for months. Mr. Mueller is investigating Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trump’s campaign or associates colluded with the Kremlin as part of that effort.

A spokesman for Mr. Mueller, Joshua Stueve, declined to comment. Moscow has denied seeking to influence the election, and Mr. Trump has vigorously disputed allegations of collusion. The president has called Mr. Mueller’s inquiry a “witch hunt.”

Ty Cobb, special counsel to the president, said he wasn’t aware that Mr. Mueller had started using a new grand jury. “Grand jury matters are typically secret,” Mr. Cobb said. “The White House favors anything that accelerates the conclusion of his work fairly.…The White House is committed to fully cooperating with Mr. Mueller.”

He’ll find nothing.

What’s he gonna do: indict Trump campaign officials for meeting with Russians?

And they still haven’t found proof of collusion.

Ham sandwiches all over Washington are quaking in their boots today.

He will get indictments... there’s no doubt on that. After that it won’t even matter whether anything even goes to trial, as far as the media are concerned.

This SOB will be aiming at Don Jr or Eric. Trump should have booted him a month ago.

The charade and waste of taxpayer money continues. I think the Starr Report was more valuable than this.

Christopher Wray, the new FBI director who was approved by a 95-2 vote in the Senate, stated, when asked during his Senate testimony, that he thought the investigation was NOT a witch hunt.

That comment, and praise from Diane Feinstein and other dems, makes me worry about this guy.

Comey prevented a grand jury being empanelled for the Clinton email case. Mueller on the other hand empanels a grand jury for the Trump case.

We are no longer a Constitutional Republic. And the President is in very serious jeopardy.

Question is: What are we going to do about it?
