Mueller assembles team of cooperators in Russian probe
By Morgan Chalfant - 10/18/18 06:00 AM EDT

Special counsel Robert Mueller has assembled a list of figures cooperating with his Russia investigation that could provide him with substantial insight into the workings of the Trump campaign.

Mueller’s ability to turn associates of President Trump into cooperators has been a key facet of his investigation, lending both strength to a probe that has pressed on for nearly a year and a half amid withering public scrutiny.

Legal analysts expect former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and other recruits to bring the special counsel closer to getting to the bottom of whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow, though doing so may hinge on Mueller striking deals with even more figures.

With Mueller’s probe advancing behind closed doors, it is impossible for onlookers to judge the value or extent of any one witness’s cooperation.

At the same time, observers say the deals Mueller has struck signal he believes their cooperation to have significant value.

After 28 months of "investigating" this is what he's got?  A "team of cooperators"?

LOL. Yup. Now expect a 5000 page report that goes right up to the line of accusing the President of illegalities, but stays on the innuendo side. Stupid Bobby is a corrupt slob and that is all he can muster.

You’re about 11 months off in your calculations, since Mueller was appointed in May 2017.

Nope, the "investigation" has been ongoing since July 2016.  But, thank you for so considerately pointing what you thought was an error.

Weird, because on the first anniversary, the man himself said how we’re entering year two.

Congratulations America, we are now into the second year of the greatest Witch Hunt in American History...and there is still No Collusion and No Obstruction. The only Collusion was that done by Democrats who were unable to win an Election despite the spending of far more money!

You may also recall the team of cooperators consist of those he’s prosecuted and/or those with whom they’ve reached plea deals.  If there’s no involvement on Trump’s part, he’s got nothing to worry about.  The original scope was to investigate members of the campaign who may have been involved with Russian entities.  When the charges against Manafort were brought, Judge Ellis demanded to know what the tax evasion and laundering charges had to do with the scope.  After the unredacted documents were provided, he admitted there was a link in his 31 page ruling.  Now, guess who’s cooperating?

What?  What does that have to do with what I said?

Pretty much everything.  The tweet Trump made about the investigation anniversary answers your question of time and the second part answers the original question of if that was all Mueller had. It’s really not that difficult.

Nope.  Not what I said. 

I'm done.  You may attach whatever meaning you want to what I said.  Just try to keep it to yourself.
