Robert Mueller is on an early winning streak.
Stacked with some of the countrys premier prosecutors, the special counsel has beaten back a pair of preliminary attempts to block his subpoena power and limit who he can question as a potential witness. In July, Muellers team also managed to win approval to execute a no-knock search warrantunusual in a white-collar case.
But as the criminal case against former Donald Trump campaign officials Paul Manafort and Rick Gates speeds toward a possible spring 2018 trial, Muellers team is bracing for an array of challenges to its authority.
The battle lines are already taking shape.

Indeed Muller has nothing he’s about a crooked a Hillary he’a her covert operations officer the way he acts it’s all about stopping Trump they won’t be able to handle the blow back cell time to ensue.
The problem with this scenario is that whatever Mueller finds as "high crimes and misdemeanors" will be so flimsy (firing Comey equals obstruction of justice?) that it will be hard to get enough Congressmen and Senators to commit political suicide to impeach and convict Trump.
Unfortunately when the swamp realizes that they may decide on a more lethal course of action to get rid of Trump.
I wonder if Mueller has a portrait of Joseph Stalin in his office. He is following Stalin’s maxim: “Give me the man and I will find the crime.”
You may be correct. Whether a sitting POTUS can be indicted is an open question.
I do not think the Reps in Congress will impeach, unless they think the evidence is crap and they want that fact known to the public by way of a Senate trial.
One more thought. Mueller may indict and force Trump to file a motion to dismiss, which will be denied by the Dem trial judge, who will be affirmed by the Dem majority in the DC Cir.
Then it will be up to the Supreme Court.
Were Trump to be indicted, I think it will be for a financial crime pre-dating his election, thus complicating the legal issue you raise.
That’s exactly what he is doing, going after Trump underlings on anything they have ever done so that they will roll over and say something about Trump. It doesn’t have to be about Russia, Mueller knows Trump didn’t do anything illegal with Russia, he just wants something he can use to justify impeachment. Taxes, false statements, bribery, not using a low flow toilet, whatever.
