The Mueller grand jury is still seated proceedings robustly. [View all]

Darren samuelsohn (politico) was in court today listening to the arguments about that mystery lawsuit that is pitting a foreign company against the Mueller team. Their lawyers motioned for stuff to be unsealed since we were told the Mueller investigation had ended. Not so fast, said the judge, the Mueller grand jury is still empaneled and proceeding robustly. ...

It would appear that Mueller handed off enough things to other prosecutors that trump and his ilk may have been celebrating a little too early..

Update : here is the politico article about it.

And I should correct that its the federal prosecutor who said its proceeding robustly, not the judge as I incorrectly stated.

The Grand Jury has not met since Jan 24th. former9thward Mar 2019 #2

No it is not. former9thward Mar 2019 #5

Yes you are right. I saw that when reading the article drray23 Mar 2019 #6

Why would the prosecutor have to offer any evidence in court? manor321 Mar 2019 #7

Oh so now the media has been "fooled". former9thward Mar 2019 #11

+1, right ... I just read the CNN account with 1/24 date & thought how would CNN know !?!? uponit7771 Mar 2019 #12

On another note why would it be an issue that the prosecutor stated that? drray23 Mar 2019 #9

I deal with prosecutors every week. former9thward Mar 2019 #14

Would not they end up in trouble if they lie in court to a judge ? drray23 Mar 2019 #15

Judges are far too busy to chase down every off hand comment in court former9thward Mar 2019 #21

hmmmm, I was thinking the judge was just repeating what the Mueller prosecutor was saying no? tia uponit7771 Mar 2019 #8

Yes indeed. I corrected that in my op.nt. drray23 Mar 2019 #10

Yeah, I made a similar observation in another OP about this. progressoid Mar 2019 #18

Looks like Red Hatters have started a whisper campaign against Mueller saying he knew in 2018... uponit7771 Mar 2019 #4

It's entirely plausible RussBLib Mar 2019 #16

Celebrating prematurely IS the plan... lame54 Mar 2019 #17
