The unveiling today of indictments against 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities has raised speculation that Special Counsel Robert Mueller may be nearing the end of – or has effectively finished – his probe into collusion between the Trump administration and the Russian government.
But sources are telling Bloomberg that this isn’t true.
In addition to obstruction and the various financial improprieties of certain Trump associates, Mueller is still actively investigating collusion.
Earlier today, Trump tweeted in response to the indictment’s release that it effectively vindicates the Trump campaign, since many of the activities cited in the document began in 2014.
Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President. The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump campaign did nothing wrong – no collusion!

Instead, Mueller’s work is expected to continue “for months” with today’s indictment representing only a small slice of the investigation.
Friday’s indictment of a St. Petersburg-based “troll farm” and 13 Russian nationals should be seen as a limited slice of a comprehensive investigation, the person said. Mueller’s work is expected to continue for months and also includes examining potential obstruction of justice by Trump, said the person, who requested anonymity to discuss an investigation that is largely confidential.
A federal grand jury indicted the Russians for what it alleged was a vast scheme to interfere in the 2016 election and help Trump win. But Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said at a news conference Friday that there is “no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant” in the alleged scheme.

When Kerry ran I read all 12,000 pages of the redacted FBI file on VVAW and posted many articles here......what fun
This will still be going on in November, 2020.
and they’ll say Trump is under investigation so he can’t run for President ,LOL
“End it now.”
Pardons.
Mueller just showed us a bogeyman, so his declining credit card just got recharged by the media.
The special counsel’s reason for being is 3 fold:
1) Embroil the Trump administration with indictments-scandals with the ultimate goal of toppling(impeachment-resignation)
2) Use the SC to bury the mountain of high crime evidence against Hillary & the O’muslim regime.
3) Show the people what happens if you want to go to work for the Trump administration...You’ll be crucified by the propaganda press and indicted by a soviet-style special counsel. Your house raided in the dark of the night by the goose-steppers of the FBI.
Gorging at the public trough. Just like Fitzgerald :(
This charade is now over. What a joke — after all this time and millions of dollars we dont have and and we indict russians because they denigrate hillary?? It actually says that in the rag called an indictment. This is comedic farce!!
Natasha and Borris are at the top of the list!!!
Lol what a joke!!
I can’t imagine these charges would ever stand up in court anyway. I mean — really? Foreign nationals who open Facebook accounts and post comments about U.S. political candidates are breaking the law? LMAO.

Mueller sticking it to American taxpayers and laughing all the way.
Where are the indictments of the Mexican foreign nationals in the country illegally that violently attacked Trump supporters during the election? I didn’t see any Russians waving their flags while assaulting Trump supporters trying to attend a rally.

where on earth is there Russian involvement in this Charlotte rally?
There should be a GITMO cell with Mueller’s name on it right next to Hellary’s.
