The Mueller Inquiry Explained

YouTube

New York Times: More than 100 charges. 19 people. 3 companies: The Mueller Inquiry, Explained.

In the nine months since Robert S. Mueller III was appointed to oversee the investigation into possible links between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, he has issued more than 100 criminal counts against 19 people and three companies. Of the 19 people, five — including three Trump associates — have pleaded guilty. Thirteen are Russians accused of meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Here is an assessment of the charges and the people facing them in the special counsel investigation.

WNU Editor: The three companies and 13 of the nineteen individuals who have been charged are Russian. But of Mueller's 100 charges not one of them is for collusion with Russia. This is why appointing a special counsel can be a problem. Even when they cannot find any evidence to support a charge for which they were appointed to find .... they go fishing elsewhere. Is this the proper way for a special prosecutor to proceed .... to nail people on a "process crime" .... and should they be involved in wire and bank fraud cases (when there are more than enough prosecutors out there to work with the police to determine if a crime has taken place)? Apparently there are many who believe that this is the role of this special counsel ..,.. and as such this investigation will continue.

If a crime is found while doing and investigation, even if the original claim is mot found to be true, the rest of the fact and crimes should be pursue. Thats the way law enforcement operate in tge US. You could be pulled over for speeding, but if the officer see drugs or a illegal weapons on your car, you willbe charge with all those. Mullers investigation should not be the exception just because he cannot prove the Russian collusion.

A agree Benjamin Goodwin. But what I am saying is that is the Mueller Commission the right tool to pursue these other avenues.
