Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has taken the unusual step of questioning Russian oligarchs who traveled into the US, stopping at least one and searching his electronic devices when his private jet landed at a New York area airport, according to multiple sources familiar with the inquiry.

A second Russian oligarch was stopped during a recent trip to the US, although it is not clear if he was searched, according to a person briefed on the matter. Mueller's team has also made an informal voluntary document and interview request to a third Russian oligarch who has not traveled to the US recently.

The request for any specification re the meaning of “very soon,” usually terminates a discussion. I’ve seen it happen before.

Btw, there is no drumbeat for Rosenstein’s resignation. The whole of DC is too busy threatening Trump re the hell he will unleash if he fires any member of the attempted coup to worry about Rosenstein.

Or rather, Rosenstein is key to their plans. Their support for him is fathomless.
