Robert Mueller expands special counsel office, hires 13 lawyers - Polidicks

[U][B]Mueller’s staff grows to 13, with 'several more in the pipeline'[/B][/U] [url]http://www.politico.com/story/2017/06/16/robert-mueller-investigation-staff-list-239638[/url] [QUOTE] Special counsel Robert Mueller has added 13 attorneys — with more still to come — as his investigation quickly expands beyond potential collusion between President Donald Trump’s campaign with Russia to potential obstruction of justice case by the president. Mueller spokesman Peter Carr confirmed in an email Friday the total number of staffers working on the Russia probe, while adding “several more in the pipeline.” Carr didn’t disclose the names of any of Mueller staffers beyond the ones who had previously been reported were on the Russia investigation squad — a prosecution team with experience going after everything from the Mafia and Enron to al Qaeda and President Richard Nixon.

I believe this is a good thing. I am ready to accept whatever happens with this investigation going one way or the other. People are obviously going to take this is as Mueller is gearing up to take trump to war, but is that actually the case? Or is he just bringing on more hands to help with the workload?

Why would they need that expertise if it's just for shits and giggles? Why would you bring on the top tier to "Help with workload"? Do you know how silly this sounds? 3) you don't have any authority over sources. Thank fuck.

Particularly if the lawyers they're bringing on have experience in cases regarding money laundering.

CNN is totally an acceptable source until he stickied thread says otherwise

[QUOTE=Code3Response;52368403]CNN is totally an acceptable source until he stickied thread says otherwise[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Our criteria are that a source must have a bias rating no farther than Center Left or Center Right, and that [B]it must have a High rate of factual reporting[/B].[/QUOTE] While the source has been changed from CNN to a more valid one (though in this case CNN is perfectly valid when used in addition to more valid sources) it actually doesn't meet these criteria. It is only center-left but it has a mixed factual reporting rating.

A quick correction, but CNN is listed as a left biased source, not center left. It does look kinda like it on the scale though.

The source has been updated to Politico. All is well, so please get back to the topic at hand.
