Charges Coming In The Mueller Investigation

We won't know who till Monday, but here we go.

CNN is reporting that the grand jury approved the first charges in the Robert Mueller investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 election.

When reached for comment, Anthony Weiner said “finally, an October surprise I have nothing to do with.”

The charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge. Plans were prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday, the sources said. It is unclear what the charges are.

A spokesman for the special counsel’s office declined to comment.

Under the regulations governing special counsel investigations, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has oversight over the Russia investigation, would have been made aware of any charges before they were taken before the grand jury for approval, according to people familiar with the matter.

So, do you think we’re leading off with one-time National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, or former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, or somebody else?

If you answer “Donald Trump” you need to get off the internet and go back to fantasy rainbow land. Whatever happens, Trump will declare “victory” on Twitter and further antagonize whoever is being charged… first.
