Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 elections, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. That's a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase, the report said. Legal experts quoted by the newspaper say the move suggests he believes he will need to subpoena records

Manafort, is my bet.
However, my focus is the curiosity that nothing gets leaked from Mueller’s investigation, but all things Trump says both foreign and domestic is leaked and selectively timed for release by the media.
Aren’t grand juries secret? Someone leaked that there is a GJ.
In a just world Clinton and Obama would be indicted!
Mr. Trump has questioned the neutrality of Mr. Mueller’s office, telling Fox News he is concerned that Mr. Mueller’s prosecutors are “Hillary Clinton supporters” and that Messrs. Mueller and Comey are friends. ...
... At least eight members of Mr. Mueller’s 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 Schultz’s 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.

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.
Mueller needs to go visit Ft.Marcy Park.
Given there was a quick and dirty Obama purge of the military traditionalist generals, how large a pool do you think Trump had to even select his generals?
The clock was ticking and Trump had to make selections best he could within the universe from which he had to choose.
By now, Trump may have better ideas if these picks give him trouble. By now, he has connections to better generals, perhaps.
But none of this is an excuse for Sessions to work on second tier domestic challenges and totally IGNORE a silent coup in progress.
This is a slim possibility and a slight overreaction. It is possible that Mueller finds something other than Trump. Regardless, what if it is Trump - they cannot indict him.
😩😩😡
I don’t know.
I can see that after 2 years and billions of dollars wasted, the only thing Mueller and his trolls will find is that there was no Russian connection.
Except we all know he won’t stop at that.
It’s just a matter of time before they turn their attention to Trump and his businesses and his personal finances.
Will they find some dirt there? Sure. But nothing of any real consequence.
That won’t matter. All the dems and the Fake News Media will be on about is impeachment over some 1983 “fraudulent expense” on a tax return.
This announcement was done purposely to preempt the big scandal that is about to errupt tomorrow after sessions releases names of the leaks! Also Trump was supposed to have a big announcement at the rally!
They are going to try to indict Manafort on some stupid financial charge.
THERE WAS NO RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE.for God’s sake supoena Seth Rich’s computer he is the one that leaked EVERYTHING To wikileaks
The UniParty oligarchs don’t care....this is their narrative and they are sticking with it.
This is further confirmation that we now live in a true Banana Republic.
Unfreakingbeleivable.
There is an old quote from Beria, Stalin’s chief of state security, that comes to mind: Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.
This is not going over well with commetors on the internet. This coup is going to end very, very badly.
“They will convict on any evidence.”
Yeah but on what evidence? There is no evidence, especially when we are talking about what crime? Collusion? To do what? Hack the election? How did they hack the election? Where is the evidence that the election outcome was changed by hacking? The only thing the witch hunters have right now in terms of “evidence” is that Don Jr. met with Russians who claimed they had damaging info on Hillary which is not against the law, so we are back to square one again. Don Jr. and his father at the time had ZERO connections to Washington, Trump was a private citizen running for President no different than me or you running for President, I dont even think he was officially nominated at the time. But the point is my pet dog can run for President, it doesn’t mean my dog can’t be in the same room as a Russian just because some treasonists a year later claim he colluded with the Russians. It’s utterly absurd considering the career criminal Hillary Clinton who should be doing life in prison as we speak met with Russians, Ukranians and just about every one else on the planet it seems but of course SHE doesn’t get any investigations.
Well I do think Paul Manafort for one. But what about the Obama administration. Are there people who have been leaking or spying when they are not supposed to be. What about miss use of data. What about the Democrats that they have been going after.
On this site we are getting a lot of articles that presume the Democrats or the Obama administration broke laws, do we think that its not true. Or do we think Trump did. But a grand jury is not something a President should care about.
and yet it is failing miserably. Huge rally tonight in West Virginia. The turn out will be legion. We will crush these bastards like bugs. The whole thing has turned people right to Trump. He will win 2020 by 30 %. Pray for defeat of the satanists. God is with US!!
My thinking as well. Hope and prayer too of course.
