In muellers team there are embedded prosecutors from u.s. other u.s. attorneys office, particularly the district of columbia attorneys office so you could have muellers core people standing down and passing the baton to the local u.s. attorneys office, d.c. u.s. attorneys office up in new york for them to carry forth that hes done his investigative ground work, hes going to report on his windings but to the extend theres work to be carried on, it will be carried on in the ordinary course by u.s....

Attorneys had objected to the roger stone case being formally legally linked to the gru case. they had complained about it formally to the court. why do they care? well, one of the material consequences of having your case legally linked to another case is that all legally formally related cases all get heard by the same judge. so when roger stone and his lawyers started complaining to the court that his case shouldnt have been described as related to the gru indictment, what they were really sa...

Roger stone case being formally legally linked to the gru case. they had complained about it formally to the court. why do they care? well, one of the material consequences of having your case legally linked to another case is that all legally formally related cases all get heard by the same judge. so when roger stone and his lawyers started complaining to the court that his case shouldnt have been described as related to the gru indictment, what they were really saying is that they didnt want r...

Go on. roger stone investigation now lives with the u.s. attorney in washington d.c. they are on the case. they are named in these court documents that were provided today. the washington d.c. u.s. attorney along with department of justice are going to continue to investigate this and maybe we do get to a point where they can say that what roger stone was doing is criminal. i also think part of the problem is that wikileaks, it is very hard. we dont know that the department of justice is ready t...

For prosecution, thats going to be uselesses considering the d.c. u.s. attorney general would be looking at that. so congress only has so many plays, so many options here, so it appears that jerry nadlers calculation was threat lets get him in the hot seat, get him on the record and try to see how far we can take it. as weve already seen, hes opened the door to some of the things and conversations that he said he didnt want to have, coming into this hearing. he said he didnt want to discuss hi c...

The mueller team will not be around when this case goes to trial. there are other aspects of the investigation probably still ongoing that would probably be handled by the d.c. u.s. attorneys as well. as to the acting attorney general said the other day, things are winding down. and i think this is one of those clues and one of those indications that that is happening here. >> asha, what do you think? could mueller be turning his attention to another indictment, maybe a bigger fish? >> yeah, i d...

Because whats interesting is that the mueller team has brought the d.c. u.s. attorneys into this case rather fairly quickly indicating at least to me that means they do not expect to be around much longer. all of the major issues that are now ongoing with this case, the discovery issues, a u.s. attorney has been handling, the d.c. u.s. attorney, not someone from the mueller team. obviously the mueller team is still involved. but the person who spoke in court today was from the u.s. d.c. attorney...

>> okay. shimon, the prosecutor who spoke in court today is with the u.s. attorneys office. not part of muellers team. >> thats right. >> significant? >> i think it is, don. and certainly ive been making this point, you know, several times now. because whats interesting is that the mueller team has brought the d.c. u.s. attorneys into this case rather fairly quickly indicating at least to me that means they do not expect to be around much longer. all of the major issues that are now ongoing with...

This is for his own good. it is sensible advice. this was likely a warning shot. i think the million dollar question here is whether or not stone is going to be able to comply with a gag order if there is one. before going into court today, he took to instagram to say this was the deep state trying to silence him. i think the most interesting thing about that appearance wasnt anything that stone did or said or anything the judge did or said. it was the prosecutor. thats that the individual who s...

Shimon prokupecz joins me now. shimon, good evening to you, sir. there are new signs tonight that robert mueller is nearing the end of his investigation. >> yeah. >> what can you tell us? >> so there were some clues today that we saw in court where roger stone appeared. the u.s. attorney for the washington, d.c. u.s. attorneys office here in the district spoke. he told the court -- he sort of took the lead here at the arraignment. prosecutors from the special counsels office who were there said ...
