Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russias 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. Muellers inquiry is ramping up and that it will likely continue for months. Mr. Mueller is investigating Russias efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trumps 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. Muellers inquiry a witch hunt.
Ty Cobb, special counsel to the president, said he wasnt 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.

The charade and waste of taxpayer money continues. I think the Starr Report was more valuable than this.
Kenneth Starr’s Grandfather was in the OSS and founded AIG (the Insurance company with CIA ties).
You don’t get to the level of special counsel or special investigator unless you are part of the deep state.
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?
Answer: Not a damn thing.
The majority, even of people who care about this country, are too fat and comfortable to rock this boat.
As far as I can see, they ALL are as dirty as they come. IF Trump had not been elected, we would not know the extent of the corruption and they would have continued forever... They hate the man who upset their cozy corrupt gold basket of goodies!
And along with that, it’s taken years to get anyone with the power to do something, to deal with hillary and bill. And it will take another “years” to get them to see the deaths they have left in their quest for power. Tell me this is any different than other countries where they take out anyone in their way.. to get the power they seek. The powers that be are hell bent on ignoring the fact hillary, obama, lynch, rice and many others, are guilty of treasonous crimes against the United States and the people! We have pushed a long time and Hannity won’t let go of it either.. Sara Carter, Tom Fitton and a few more, have done the work of what congress is supposed to do.. they get paid for NOTHING! And they are dragging their feet to do anything yet!
Also, there was a report that bo threatened hillary and bill and when that didn’t work, the report was sent back to them that it would be their daughter next.. that worked.
There was a prophetic report that bo would be hng for trea-son against the U S. I don’t think we do that any more, but is interesting to see what he’s done is that serious. The one difference is a foreign government... but that probably has been included also.. where there’s money, there is hillary’s pocket.
Hannity has been on a tear on his radio show today.. he’s angry... next up is Sara Carter.
Me too... I did not like any of his answers!
It would end Republican Party. Trump supporters walk R’s lose every election.
Very careful with his words.
Still think state lines are gonna mark the battle fronts?
Mr. Trump has questioned the neutrality of Mr. Muellers office, telling Fox News he is concerned that Mr. Muellers prosecutors are Hillary Clinton supporters and that Messrs. Mueller and Comey are friends. ...
... At least eight members of Mr. Muellers team have given to Democratic candidates, including the presidential campaigns of Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton, according to Federal Election Commission records. ...
Mr. Andres in March supported a Democratic lawmaker, donating $2,700 to Kirsten Gillibrand, a U.S. senator representing New York, according federal campaign disclosure records. ... "
As background, Imran was first employed in 2004 by former Democrat Rep. Robert Wexler (FL) as an information technology director, before he began working in Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultzs office in 2005.
The family was paid extremely well, with Imran Awan being paid nearly $2 million working as an IT support staffer for House Democrats since 2004. Abid Awan and his wife, Hina Alvi, were each paid more than $1 million working for House Democrats. In total, since 2003, the family has collected nearly $5 million.
In total, Imran's firm was employed by 31 Democrats in Congress, some of whom held extremely sensitive positions on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Some of the #Democrats who had Pakistani IT workers (currently under investigation) on their payroll. #AwanBrothers https://t.co/XvrJ6H1iW9 pic.twitter.com/gVjNkfqWH3 Nick Short ???????? (@PoliticalShort) May 22, 2017
Of course, one of the most intriguing parts of the Awan narrative is precisely why former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (DWS) decided to keep him on her taxpayer-funded payroll right up until his arrest and whether that decision had anything to do with the whole DNC / Hillary email scandals that erupted last summer.
A preliminary hearing for Awan is scheduled for August 21.
Yet, we have a_holes like PeeRINO, Napolitano, etc. telling us that this orchestrated appointment of Mueller under false pretenses is all good and will work itself out because there is nothing we can do about it. ARE THEY SERIOUS?
Win The Future??
I’m disgusted with this coup.
They have been making things up to get this far, why do you think that they will not continue?
They’re using a DC grand jury. Everyone in DC hates Trump. It’s rigged.
Everybody worries me. Is there one fucking person in DC who can legitimately be considered one of the good guys? Even Trump’s own appointments have no sense of loyalty whatsoever. Could you imagine a single Obama appointee openly stabbing Obama in the back like this? They’d find him in Marcy Park, the victim of “self-inflicted” gun-shot wound. There would be no investigation and no media coverage.
Absolutely. The South and the mid west states are never going to fight one another. If a complete collapse of the Federal govt occurs (after the currency collapses) governors will step in. I see some states becoming independent and forming new alliances with other states. Yes, that is how I see it.
They have to stop Trump before he destroys Obama’s 8 years of Insanity
Good luck
I like to think of the USA as a big piece of glass. The state borders are etched into that glass. If you drop the whole thing on the floor it will break along those etched lines. It’s just common sense.
That is what has me screaming. The fact that Comey squashed and this nothing burger drones on. None of them gave a flying fig about Russia, or national security being compromised, leaks, etc. Until November 10th, 2017. Are they trying to bait us into reaction?
Just starting. Now they’ll get witnesses to testify under oath and will get them on technicalities.
The grand jury panel will consist of DC government employees (or family members thereof), Democrats, liberals, socialists, progressives, marxists plus oppressed ethnics and minorities of any stripe.
Don't bet on the outcome.....
