Special counsel Robert Mueller has added 13 attorneys — with more still to come — as his investigation quickly expands beyond potential collusion between President Donald Trump’s campaign with Russia to potential obstruction of justice case by the president.

Mueller spokesman Peter Carr confirmed in an email Friday the total number of staffers working on the Russia probe, while adding “several more in the pipeline.”

Carr didn’t disclose the names of any of Mueller staffers beyond the ones who had previously been reported were on the Russia investigation squad —

— a prosecution team with experience going after everything from the Mafia and Enron to al Qaeda and President Richard Nixon.

1. Yeah! Finally there are more than 3 people and $10.00 put into this investigation.

ALL the dem reps in the Senate and House have been working with a handful of people and were rightfully complaining about it. How can an investigation this important , complex and growing be thoroughly investigated unless they have plenty of resources. I am glad to see my tax dollars going into this and not weekend trips to Mar-a-Lago or paying for personal lawyers for the white house staffers, etc.

4. I heard on TV

The 30 percent of strong Trump supporters are actually upset at the Mar a logo weekend golf trips on taxpayer's dime, every single weekend.

5. I heard that too. Typical deplorables don't give a shit about health care, climate change,

immigrants, etc. His golf trips make them upset though. They have such impressive priorities! Such humanitarians! Hillary was right...they are idiots who don't care about any real issues or anyone besides themselves. Even if she campaigned more in their areas they still would have voted for their orange savior.

6. huh? repealing Obamacare and building his wall got him elected

2. Takes a year or more to build these cases, requires patience

Trump has none....I expect he will do his best to shut it down.

3. Comey's request to Jeff sessions for more money, investigators to investigate Tromp

Got him fired,

now the special counsel is carrying out exactly what was requested.

Robert Mueller, not only investigating The Trump campaign, Russian collusion.

But obstruction of justice, financial criminal activity, and fractions of the foreign corruption act,

James Comey is a happy man, Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, not so much
