Mueller Grand Jury gets six month extension

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller's federal grand jury has been extended by six months.

The grand jury, based in Washington, DC, was seated for an 18-month term that began in July 2017 and was set to expire in the coming days.

Under federal rules, the court is able to extend a grand jury's term for another six months if it is "in the public interest."

Grand jury activity is secret, except following the 23-person group's approval of criminal indictments.

So many things the world wants to know and they already know it. Plus they are actually doing something about it.

Geesh. I wish they waited until Mueller announced it himself instead of using a Miss Cleo.

But seriously, I would have wished he could be done very soon, so we could get on with the impeachment. Who knows what could happen meantime. A convenient terrorist attack perhaps?

Maybe its all Trump's plan, and I'm only being half serious here. Every time Mueller sees the light at the end of the tunnel, the old orange turd stinks up the joint again with yet another revelation, another charge to investigate. Trump even voluntarily hands them new material to indict him with every month. I can imagine Mueller, monthly, shaking his head and telling his staff they need to stay on longer.

Trump's plan......keep dishing out tempting tidbits of his past criminal behaviour, of which he has a bottomless file cabinet of, making Mueller delay delay delay until its time to leave office.
