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.”

This “collusion “ thing. What federal statute was violated?

Yikes—a lot of $$$$$$.
Thanks for the info, very sad state of affairs in DC these days :(
Sorry, the corrupt press and equally corrupt CIA and "intelligence services' don't give a damn when liberal elites like Hillary or Bill or any of 'em commit a crime OR SELL OUT THE COUNTRY.
HILLARY WOULD BE 'SAFE' IF SHE HANDED OUT 30,000 PIECES OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION AND RECEIVED CASH FOR THE EFFORT. The little sh*ts in 'intelligence' are only looking for Republicans 'jay walking' or spitting on the sidewalk...OR NOT OFFERING UP 'DC APPROVED WORDS'...
We could save the billions taxpayers throw away on these crooks if we fired every damn one of 'em and hired the Mossad to do our 'intelligence work'. Unlike our boys - who couldn't find a sledge happen in a hay stack (or a leaker in the White House) - the boys from Israel would safeguard the country - NOT THEIR LIBERAL ELITES OWNERS. Mossad would go after criminals - - threats to the country - not after duly elected Presidents and the free citizens who elected their own leaders....

When one considers the reaction to any suggestion of even impropriety in the 'bama crime-infested administration - it becomes painfully evident that we are ruled by a burgeoning tyranny, elite, who is as Rush is now recognizing in the process of overthrowing our Constitutional Republic . . . and it could well lead to civil war! I suspect that that elite doesn't care...
ps: I like #63 - to a point.
Thanks.
What part don’t you like?
I’m not sure ‘don’t like’ is correct. I would like to believe there are still patriotic Americans in the intelligence and federal law enforcement communities... who might step up if needed.
Yes, that's possible. It's also possible that since they are the 'line' between us (citizens) and a potential totalitarian coup by liberal 'elites' that they are also in danger.
to wit Oath Keepers... if they are marginalized or severely threatened then we are looking at an armed uprising likely.
We don't need a $4 tril federal budget, and we don't need to raise the debt ceiling! We are being ripped off enormously, and those becoming more rich and more powerful will fight to continue as carpetbaggers in power. We are in deep doodoo - and as long as the voters continue to vote to increase govt largess, we will continue to flirt with collapse. The carpetbagger politicians are seducing and scamming the people very well.
How do we know?
Seven of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the United States are clustered around Washington DC.
Our government ‘servants’ pay themselves first and foremost ... They don't give a damn about the people. Which is why we hear the endless talk about Trump needing to ‘pivot’ or ‘be disciplined’ or any of the other phrases they use for ‘turning toward Washington DC Elites and Away from Citizens of the United States.
The Deep State's as horrible or worse than we think... they're living off the fat of the land while bankrupting the country.
Take the 5th, do not answer any question. Avoid the perjury trap. Ask Mathra Steward and Scooter Libby how cooperating works out for you.
