Mueller preparing endgame for Russia investigation

Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort and Robert Mueller.

12/3/18
WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors have told defense lawyers in recent weeks that they are “tying up loose ends” in their investigation, providing the clearest clues yet that the long-running probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election may be coming to its climax, potentially in the next few weeks, according to multiple sources close to the matter. A Flynn sentencing memo is due Tuesday, and memos about Manafort and Cohen are slated for Friday. All three documents are expected to yield significant new details on what cooperation the three of them provided to the Russia investigation. There has been much speculation that Mueller might file his memo in Manafort’s case under seal in order to prevent public disclosure of the additional crimes his office believes Manafort committed when he allegedly lied to prosecutors and broke a plea deal after agreeing to cooperate. But Peter Carr, spokesman for the special counsel, confirmed to Yahoo News on Monday that the Manafort memo “will be public,” although he added there could be some portions that are redacted or filed as a sealed addendum.

Cohen is due to be sentenced in federal court in New York next week. While Mueller has not yet filed a sentencing memo in that case, Cohen’s lawyers have asked that he avoid jail entirely, and Mueller’s sentencing memo is due Friday. The president, meanwhile, offered his own suggestion — that his former lawyer should be jailed and “serve a full and complete sentence” — in a tweet-storm early Monday. The only other publicly known matter Mueller is believed to be focused on relates to former Trump adviser Roger Stone and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi — both of whom have been aggressively investigated to determine if they had advance communications with WikiLeaks or associates of the group about its plans for the release of stolen emails of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential election.

The scuttlebutt in Washington says that the Mueller team is already in the midst of composing and typing the collated evidences and depositions that will comprise the Mueller Report.
 
I am very eager to see what they have in todays filing.
 
I don't buy the CW that he's wrapping up soon. I agree that the investigation has uncovered extremely important things lately, but not that he's approaching the endgame.
 
Makes sense that the investigation is nearing it’s end now that Trump has submitted his answers, thus tying a knot in the gift bow around his own neck.
 
We'll see what happens. I wonder if it will turn out to be as damaging as we've been led to believe.
