A whirlwind week in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russian meddling probe is set for a dramatic triple-threaded conclusion Friday, as fired FBI Director James Comey prepares to testify before House Republicans and prosecutors ready pivotal sentencing documents on former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and onetime campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
With multiple reports and other indications suggesting the long-running Russia probe that began in May 2017 is nearing its conclusion, Mueller faces court-imposed Friday deadlines to explain how Manafort allegedly broke his cooperation agreement with the government, as well as how Cohen should be punished for lying to Congress in 2017 about an abandoned Trump real estate project in Moscow.
The planned submissions are set to come just days after Mueller's office submitted a heavily redacted sentencing memorandum indicating that fired national security adviser Michael Flynn had provided "substantial assistance" with several ongoing investigations and recommending no prison time. Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani called Mueller's prosecutors "sick puppies" in the wake of that filing.
Meanwhile, Comey is slated to testify behind closed doors before the House Judiciary Committee, after dropping his longshot legal challenge to congressional Republicans' subpoena earlier this week when they agreed to make public a transcript of his remarks.
Fox News has confirmed that a key focus of questioning will be Comey's decision to write the July 2016 statement recommending against filing criminal charges in the Hillary Clinton email probe before the former secretary of state was even interviewed, as well as the apparent political bias demonstrated in a slew of text messages and leaks by top FBI officials.

I didn’t think he made Major while he was in the Army,he only got to the Grade of Captain.
What happened to the Huber appearance before the senate on the 5th?
I’ll bet Comey pleads the 5th about 16 times..
Huber appears to be a Session’s Statist scam.
Prove it.
Sessions, a known Statist, appointed and tasked Huber.
Huber has produced squat to date.
‘Rats took the House in November as neither Sessions nor Huber produced anything of interest.
So, do you have some inside info on anything Huber will produce in the next two months?
He’s had a lot of time, but appears to be more of a Rip van Sessions person in terms of a sense of ...the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial,.
Has your mileage varied from this?
Major Mueller? I thought he was a Gruppenführer.
Oh, wait, I get it. A Gruppenfuehrer is the equivalent of a Major General. So they just left the “General” off when they posted the headline about Gestapo Mueller.
I bet they’re cracking jokes and yucking it up in 5 minutes.
Muller was a Marine Officer and served his 6 year tour as required of single tour, active duty Marine officer. It would be very hard, if not impossible, for a one tour officer to rise above the rank of Captain.
He did however earn the title of “ex-Marine” which is an insult to Marine veterans.
Postponed, no new date set.
Mueller will try to get them 30 year sentences on charges that they willfully and knowingly stuck their chewing gum on the bottoms of desks when they were in elementary school. That's all he's got on them.
Wasn’t Major Mueller the bumbling, arrogant intel officer on M*A*S*H*?
What will be the legal status of Mueller if and when he wraps up this investigation?
He’ll still be Deep State, and Deep State takes care of their own.
Thank you very much,I was in overseas twice serving under various Commanding officers with the US army.
I was curious about his background under the USMC.Maybe Vietnam is still affecting his judgement in a lot of ways.
