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...

It will work.
Ask what has more credibility: A congressional investigation or a grand jury indictment. Who you gonna believe?
I agree. They are reacting to news outing Mueller and crew.
Everyone on here would be thrilled if Hillary was arrested. But it ain’t gonna ever happen.
Yes but Ken Starr is not law. Trust me on this one POTUS cannot be inducted by the courts only Congress can indict through articles of impeachment. That includes high crimes and even the smallest crimes “misdemeanors
If it’s someone close to Trump, the stock market will tank 5-10% Monday. And go down from there.
“Mueller was appointed because of the fake dossier.”
We had 8 years of wholesale treason and lawlessness and ‘our’ first special counsel is to investigate an incoming, duly elected President of the United States? Bullsh!t
Mueller wasn’t appointed because of a dossier. The special counsel was sanctioned by the corrupt state to take down Trump and cover for the O’muslim regime. An in your face coup.
“How is any of this legal at this point?”
There is no controlling legal authority. The law is whatever the corrupt state sez it is.
yueah, but he actually said some things WE are saying..
though it was interesting..
Good point. keep an eye on futures then. those in the know will be looking after their own finances first... whether out of greed or fear.
That would be great but I doubt that. Birds of a feather, you know
If it’s Manafort, it’s just Mueller’s last gasp attempt to get him to flip on POTUS. When he doesn’t flip (he knows Trump will pardon him) Mueller will close up shop.
Trump’s tweets today and tonight about Hillary.

It is now commonly agreed, after many months of COSTLY looking, that there was NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Was collusion with HC!”

“WHAT HAPPENED”
“How Team Hillary played the press for fools on Russia”

NOW WE KNOW! “
FAKE NEWS!
hard to read but entertaining....Hillary.. "The tour is to empty the bank accounts. No way she was here in the UK to go on the One Show. It was to meet London Bankers. Some of her accounts have been cleaned out or shut down on the order of DOJ and Trump is behind that. This is why she missed a day.
They also want to know where all the money is, so they watched her in between official meetings. The Russians met her in London.
The Ukrainians and Qatarans also met her in London.
Manafort worked for years for ... The Podesta Group. After that he worked directly for the Russians (well, via a Ukrainian front company).
I had no idea he was in with the Molester Brothers until this past week.
I’ve read Hillary owns a place in Qatar. Her SHTF bugout location.
he started looking into uranium moving and the spy ring in congress over a year ago - does short utubes every day discussing what he’s found. He’s either brilliant or a brilliant schizophrenic. ;) I say he’s brilliant..
google George Webb utube
Sadly your post is 100% on the mark.
Selling out uranium to the Russians (who likely sold it to the Iranians to blow us and Irasel up) gets a pass.
Meeting with a lady about Russian adoptions leads to an indictment?
If anyone close to Trump is indicted, it’s time to do a repeat of the War of 1812 on Washington, D.C.
