So Apparently the first charges have been filed by the special counsel according to great reporting done by CNN below and No it isn’t “Fake News” although there have already been some critics of CNN as to how they Got word on the story and of course they haven’t and aren’t going to released their sources  I have hilited the more important parts in RED  and (RA) is my personal commentary on CNN’s report 

A federal grand jury in Washington on Friday approved the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources briefed on the matter.

The charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge. Plans were prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday, the sources said. It is unclear what the charges are.

A spokesman for the special counsel’s office declined to comment. The White House also had no comment, a senior administration official said Saturday morning.

Mueller was appointed in May to lead the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Under the regulations governing special counsel investigations, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has oversight over the Russia investigation, would have been made aware of any charges before they were taken before the grand jury for approval, according to people familiar with the matter. (RA) This is to make sure the charges being brought aren’t unfair or unwarranted.Image result for rod rosenstein

Reporters present saw a flurry of activity in the grand jury room, but officials made no announcements.

Shortly after President Donald Trump abruptly fired then-FBI Director James Comey, Rosenstein appointed Mueller as special counsel. Mueller took the reins of a federal investigation that Comey first opened in July 2016 in the middle of the presidential campaign.

Mueller is authorized to investigate “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation,” according to Rosenstein’s order. (RA) Meaning any crime found while look in the Russian interferon is fair game. 

The special counsel’s investigation has focused on potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as obstruction of justice by the President, who might have tried to impede the investigation. CNN reported that investigators are scrutinizing Trump and his associates’ financial ties to Russia.

This has been an incredibly confusing week in politics. That’s good for Trump. (RA) Trump and people on the right  have been constantly talking about Hillary Clinton and the uranium One deal which if you look at the facts relating to here not much their you be the judge  Look here for more I formation Here  and if you want to find out why the people attacking Hillary now will be disappointed again, in the end, Click Here .

Mueller’s team has also examined foreign lobbying conducted by former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and others. His team has issued subpoenas for documents and testimony to a handful of figures, including some people close to Manafort, and others involved in the Trump Tower meeting between Russians and campaign officials.

Last year, the Comey-led investigation secured approval from the secret court that oversees the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor the communications of Manafort, as well as former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, as part of the investigation into Russian meddling. (RA) which we didn’t know about during the election unlike the email investigation into Hillary Clinton which is interesting. 

In addition to Mueller’s probe, three committees on Capitol Hill are conducting their own investigations.

This news comes in the wake of people on the right and Fox News has started a misinformation and distraction campaign on Hillary Clinton connection to Russia,  and have started to comment character assassination on Robert Mueller who has many accomplishments. Ironically I got this graphic Fox and Friends one of the trumps favorite TV programs. This was before they started to turn on him

The significance of this development depends on who are charged and what they are charged for. The president has said in a tweet that he has been cleared and everyone knows it. This has led some to wonder was something leaked to the president. We have to wait and see what happens next week. However, whatever happens, will likely be the beginning, not the END  Below is a tweet I found that I thought was funny. If you are a trump supporter don’t watch. And I would add it is important that Democrats not overplay their hand like the Republicans did to Bill Clinton.
