Thursday marks the one-year anniversary of the appointment of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. The milestone has emboldened White House critics of the probe to declare, as Vice President Mike Pence did on NBC News, that "it is time to wrap it up."
Never mind that the Mueller investigation is, comparatively, in its infancy. The Whitewater probe of Bill and Hillary Clinton, for example, began in 1994 and ended more than six years later. Mueller's 12 months of work has turned up more clear wrongdoing than Kenneth Starr ever did: There have been 20 indictments and 5 guilty pleas, including prominent senior members of the campaign and administration, and that doesn't take into account the wealth of information that Mueller has yet to make public.
A successful ouster of Mueller would not derail the investigation at this point. Too much evidence has been gathered, and too many prosecutors, who have surely considered and planned for the contingency, stand ready to carry on.
In the course of the past year, we've learned not to underestimate what Mueller knows and what bombshell he may have prepared. It may involve the Russians and the campaign, it may involve obstruction of justice, but there are other relevant threads.
The "wrap it up" crowd is indulging in wishful thinking. The first anniversary of the Mueller investigation is unlikely to be the last.

And how would Monsieur Litman know of this 'wealth of information'?
How would one know this?
First, THERE IS NO SUCH CRIME AS COLLUSION! Second, Mueller is obviously on a partisan witch hunt and the very most that Mueller can hope to get Trump on is perjury when all he did was remember some minute detail differently than someone else, and that’s only if Trump is foolish enough to testify under oath, which I’m sure his lawyers will not allow.
Mueller, Rosenstein and Sessions will not leave voluntarily.
Absolutely true. Trump should have fired Rosenweasel a year ago. Why he has not is beyond my understanding. Of course they know WAY more then we do so I try to trust in that.
“Never mind that the Mueller investigation is, comparatively, in its infancy.”
Far as anyone needs to read.
Have you read the Constitution?
We all need to remember it’s not Trump they hate.
It’s the Americans who voted for Trump that they hate.
They are not trying to bring down Trump because they really do believe he criminally conspired with Russia to hack the DNC email server.
They are trying to bring him down because he has rallied Americans to resist the open-borders agenda — the effort to demographically replace Americans through mass immigration, to de-industrialize the US through global governance of trade and to bankrupt the US through massive government and private debt to prop things up until their agenda is realized.
If I had known then what I know now ,I would have voted for Hillary! I only voted for trump because old vlad called me up!
Mueller’s not part of the Judicial branch. Mueller is part of the Executive branch and completely subordinate to Trump.
Harry Litman owes his career to the Clintons. In 1998, Bill Clinton plucked Litman from the bowels of his DOJ, where he served five years under Attorney General Janet Reno, and nominated him to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
Two years later, in 2000, Bill Clinton nominated Litman to a federal judgeship but Republican Senators stalled his confirmation. With his hopes hanging on a Gore victory in 2000, Litman suffered the humiliation of seeing his government career ambitions collapse as the result of ‘hanging chads’ and ‘butterfly ballots’. Bush subsequently pulled his judgeship nomination and he resigned in 2001.
In 2004, his judgeship ambitions were rekindled when he was invited to join John Kerry’s campaign for President but, once again, they were postponed by Bush. In 2008, he again backed the wrong horse and sided with Hillary Clinton during the primaries. After his ambitions to return to the swamp with Bill’s wife were extinguished, there were no offers forthcoming from Hillary’s Democratic opponent.
This past year’s election cycle was likely viewed by Harry Litman as his best opportunity to win a federal judgeship (or more?), so he must have jumped at the opportunity to serve as one of Hillary’s legal advisors for her presidential campaign. He even maxed out his contributions to her under FEC limitations. After backing so many losing campaigns, Litman must have viewed Hillary’s certain victory with great anticipation. Consequently, the shock and resentment he experienced on election night must harass and torment his soul daily.
The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, who regularly feature Harry Litman in their publications, defraud their readers by refusing to acknowledge Litman’s extensive and long-standing connections with the Clintons.

Remember when the stories of a “shadow government” only seemed like tinfoil conspiracies?
Seems Comrade Brennan is right in the thick of it. /Captain Obvious
We may need the military to protect the President against this attempted coup by Democrats. /half-joking
How’s that case against Concord going? Shouldn’t Bobby be busy with trial prep?
Oh, for me it was one of those oh-so-persuasive Russian Facebook ads.
If Bobby had a scintilla of evidence, it would have been leaked to the NYT and WaPo immediately. There are rules about these things.
The LA Times is dying.
He received his J.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley. He has no credibility with me.
“Based on his current pattern of making bombastic statements, only to walk them back the next day,”
That’s the martinis talking.
On a side note, "collusion", is the charge Kaepernick has his lawyers hauling NFL general managers in for. Collusion is a racket indeed, and is tyrannically being abused.
Shaken, but not stirred.
The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, who regularly feature Harry Litman in their publications, defraud their readers by refusing to acknowledge Litman’s extensive and long-standing connections with the Clintons.
Great information. Good to know.
