Showing Original Post only (View all)MUELLER IMPANELS GRAND JURY [View all]
https://www.wsj.com/articles/special-counsel-mueller-impanels-washington-grand-jury-in-russia-probe-1501788287?mod=e2twusSpecial Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russias interference in the 2016 elections, a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The grand jury, which began its work in recent weeks, is a sign that Mr. Muellers inquiry is ramping up and that it will likely continue for months. Mr. Mueller is investigating Russias efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trumps campaign or associates colluded with the Kremlin as part of that effort.
A spokesman for Mr. Mueller, Joshua Stueve, declined to comment. Moscow has denied seeking to influence the election, and Mr. Trump has vigorously disputed allegations of collusion. The president has called Mr. Muellers inquiry a witch hunt.
Ty Cobb, special counsel to the president, said he wasnt aware that Mr. Mueller had started using a new grand jury. Grand jury matters are typically secret, Mr. Cobb said. The White House favors anything that accelerates the conclusion of his work fairly. The White House is committed to fully cooperating with Mr. Mueller.

Holy Shit balls....Did Mueller do this because Trump was going to fire him today..is that what Trump was going to announce later?

He is also worried because he is part of a criminal conspiracy. He may be indicted too.

Grand Juries are not investigative. They are there to decide whether to indict.
