Washington (CNN) A federal grand jury in Washington, DC, on Friday approved the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources briefed on the matter. The charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge.
Plans were prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday, the sources said.
It is unclear what the charges are. A spokesman for the special counsel's office declined to comment.
Mueller was appointed in May to lead the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Under the regulations governing special counsel investigations, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has oversight over the Russia investigation, would have been made aware of any charges before they were taken before the grand jury for approval, according to people familiar with the matter.
On Friday, top lawyers who are helping to lead the Mueller probe, including veteran prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, were seen entering the court room at the DC federal court where the grand jury meets to hear testimony in the Russia investigation.
Reporters present saw a flurry of activity at the grand jury room, but officials made no announcements.

Mueller is authorized to investigate "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation," according to Rosenstein's order.
The special counsel's investigation has focused on potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as obstruction of justice by the President, who might have tried to impede the investigation.
CNN reported that investigators are scrutinizing Trump and his associates' financial ties to Russia. Mueller's team has also examined foreign lobbying conducted by former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and others. His team has issued subpoenas for documents and testimony to a handful of figures...

Its BS..The clintons wont get indicted for anything..Hillary Clinton could confess to getting Seth Rich murdered and nothing would happen to her
Interesting post on twitter:
"Larry Schweikart @LarrySchweikart 4h4 hours ago"
"Dems not gonna be happy. If Mulehead had charges for ANY Trump person they would be open as all hell."
Good point. . would be leaked already.
Agreed. First thing I thought too. Too much talk about Uranium One...so here comes Mueller with his crap to draw attention back to Trump. The Swamp truly does run deep.
Mueller leaks what he wants the media to report. The fact that the media is not reporting the name, means the media don’t know anymore than we do who the person is. So anybody going apoplectic because of some perceived body language is just being silly.
If CNN knows who it is, they’d all be long faced by now.. if anyone watches cnn to see how they look..
I don’t go there.
Yup. Leaking like Mika’s face at Maralago.
Basically everyone has an opinion on how CNN is reacting..some say they are all giddy, while others on twitter say they dont look happy..so its hard to judge by saying “See how CNN is reacting do they look happy or sad” because everyone will say something different
Larry Schweikart is right, it would have been leaked already...
ROFL! Desperation is finally settling in on the Mueller apologists it looks like, but I'm sure they'll go down hard.
Nah!!!......Mueller, deep state and media needs a scalp to claim some kind of vindication of the Russian investigation, even though getting Manfort on tax fraud or money laundering or whatever....maybe like 15 years ago that has nothing to do with the Russians collusion narrative doesnt mean squat in getting Trump or stopping his agenda. Theyll claim victory none the less as the dossier and Uranium One storys heats up. If it is Manfort or even Flynn its just to give Obama and Hillary and both establishments time and breathing room at least for a couple of months more in their eyes. I would dare say its may be giving them time to threaten harm to them and their love ones of those who may flip on the dossier or Uranium One story to stay quiet or change their minds

‘FWIW- The news has reached the streets of DC where George Webb is located.
Georges latest video borders on the cryptic, or possibly- deeply biting sarcasm.
FOX News is now reporting on charges being filed. MSLSD also reporting.

Reuters also has it.
Imagine indeed.
Roughly the same as your chances of hitting Powerball. Three times in a row.

While I dont trust establishment media like CNN...Im not going to accept anonymous sources on 4chains....the deep state (team obama/clinton) probably could find that person out in a few hours and thats a risk no source would take. I remember all of those sources saying about having the goods on obama scandals and none of it came out as they said it was
FBI Anon saying Hillary is going to be arrested next Monday
I have no idea what is shaking...but one thing I do know, the bullshit is thicker tonight than ever before.
LS must be on some heavy pain medication.
The special counsel, ‘sanctioned’ on ZERO evidence of a crime, serves 2 purposes for the corrupt state...A means to bring down the Trump admin and a means to bury Clinton’s & O’muslim’s treason trail.
A demoncrat won’t be indicted
