Mueller may be preparing to hand off prosecution as part of winding down his investigation
2018-06-24
[The Hill] Robert Mueller may be preparing to wind down the special counsel investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia and hand off at least one prosecution following the probe's conclusion.

The Washington Post reports that Mueller has added several prosecutors to his team, specifically assigned to the case against several Russian nationals charged in the alleged effort to spread disinformation using stolen identities during the 2016 election.

Mueller's new additions will likely take over that case, which is expected to last longer than the probe into Russian collusion in the election. The Post reports that the new hires are the first indication of Mueller preparing for the end of his investigation.

Mueller's indictment of 13 Russian nationals and organizations earlier this year is one of several that have been spawned by the ongoing special counsel investigation, including the indictments of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort for bank fraud and lobbying violations as well as several other former Trump associates.

Wait a minute. The investigation into Russian collusion has been going on now for what? A year and a half? Two years? It seems to me if they had an actual case against these Russian nationals they could go to trial tomorrow morning and be done with it in a week or a month tops. What's that old saying? Justice delayed is justice denied. If they have no case they should drop it.
