Mueller Impanels Grand Jury In Russia Probe, Donald Trump Jr. Subpoenaed

Stocks slumped, and VIX spiked following news that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections, the WSJ reports, adding that "this is a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase." The grand jury is said to have begun work in recent weeks, suggesting Mueller's inquiry is ramping up and "that it will likely continue for months."

Some details: "grand juries are powerful investigative tools that allow prosecutors to subpoena documents, put witnesses under oath and seek indictments, if there is evidence of a crime. Legal experts said that the decision by Mr. Mueller to impanel a grand jury suggests he believes he will need to subpoena records and take testimony from witnesses."

This is where evidence is collected- sworn testimony and subpoenaed documents.

There’s a move afoot in the Senate to prevent Trump from firing Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor investigating his campaign connections with Russia:

On Thursday, Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Chris Coons (D-DE), two members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced they would introduce a bill to allow Justice Department special counsels, like Mueller, to challenge their removals in court. . . The decision is a preemptive attempt to curtail the president, who has publicly criticized Mueller and derided the Russia investigation.

There are two parts or phases to this; one is preemptive and the second is post removal. They really wanted to cover all bases on the possible dismissal of Mueller by Trump. Although the removal of Mueller is basically in the hands of the AG.

Apparently, according to NPR, the fact of the grand jury is not a secret. The people impaneled are not supposed to reveal the evidence that they heard, But anyone who has testified can talk to the press about it, so only some people are required to keep the proceeding secret. It sounds kinda weird, but that's what I heard.

Name ONE crime Trump did. Just ONE.

By the way, GSTRING, I predicted your response PERFECTLY

This is what I heard as well. Grand Jury is instructed to keep it under their hat (they can be charged otherwise).

I served many years ago, for the state, and their instructions were clear.
But it makes sense that there will be "leakers" who are willing to talk and get their story out. Sometimes they sell their individual stories, there are different motivations. Some attorneys advise their clients to spill their guts so as to have the upper hand in a case.

Yet there remains little dispute that these are felony violations. Correct?
