Typing the text of the tweet here:
Mueller has added 4 new lawyers from DOJ's criminal & national security devision to the Russian Troll Farm Case today. Typically, you staff up when a case is expanding in complexity or number of defendants. 4 is a lot of prosecutors.

associated with Team Trump.

I believe there have been a few federal probes that went on for close to a decade?

that were indicted with Whitewater, and the governor of Arkansas, Jim Guy Tucker, had to resign.

But, nothing related to Bill or Hillary Clinton.

it morphed into the Lewinsky scandal, which had nothing whatsoever to do with whitewater. And it dragged on for four years total.

Republicans complained neither about the scope change, nor the duration.

this a Cannonball Run to remember!

Understand the direction of the investigation has been well underway for many months. I would think these experienced prosecutors with expertise in those areas are given caseloads to run with. Or at least I hope so!
