With talk of firing sessions (ultimate target. Firing Mueller to stop investigation).
The ridicule of sessions after rumblings from Senate about termination, hoping to invoke the resignation.
I think Mueller is laying the groundwork for New York attorney to take over.
And do any indictments in the event the investigation is halted, or pardons are issued.
The president cannot pardon a state conviction, Guess who was his last hire.
Goldstein was former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's top public corruption prosecutor and kept the same role under Acting U.S Attorney Joon Kim.]
He's known for multiple successful prosecutions of New York lawmakers on corruption charges. He's also highly regarded in the Southern District and across Justice for those prosecutions, his thoroughness in investigations, and high level of success.
Separately, a person with direct knowledge of the matter says that all cases previously handled in New York, which includes the probe of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, have been transferred to Mueller.
