Susan Collins is up for election next year.

The best way for her to not need to worry about this issue, is for her to lose her job

Further confirmation the DC US Attorney's office is continuing Mueller's grand jury. It sounds like we may finally find out the mystery "wholly foreign-owned" company that has now had its appeal rejected by the Supreme Court.
Rick Gates' case and the Roger Stone trial will also be handled by the DC US Attorney's office.

Mueller grand jury 'continuing robustly,' prosecutor says
The special counsel's office officially concluded its investigation on Friday, but several loose ends remain.

The special counsel’s grand jury investigating Russian collusion into the 2016 presidential election is “continuing robustly” despite the end of Robert Mueller’s probe, a federal prosecutor said in court Wednesday.

David Goodhand, an assistant U.S. attorney, acknowledged the grand jury’s active status during a hearing in federal district court over a push to unveil the identity of a foreign-owned company that has been held in contempt for defying a Mueller subpoena.

The mystery company’s case was denied a hearing earlier this week before the Supreme Court, and in the meantime the open government group Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press has sought access to all materials in the clandestine litigation, including the company’s identity.

During a brief open hearing Wednesday, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court, Beryl Howell, pressed Goodhand to say if the grand jury Mueller had been using in the case remained active.

“It is continuing,” the prosecutor replied. “It’s continuing robustly.”

The fact the grand jury is continuing its work adds a new layer of uncertainty to the Mueller probe, which Attorney General William Barr announced on Friday was finished.

Barr also released a four-page summary explaining the special counsel had not found a conspiracy between Trump’s campaign and Russia to sway the election. But Barr also noted that Mueller had not reached a conclusion on whether the president obstructed justice.

Separately, the attorney general said Mueller had no more indictments — either to be released or under seal — in the case.

Mueller’s office in recent days has been handing off a series of its cases to federal prosecutors across the government as it closes up shop, including the mystery subpoena fight that’s been ongoing since last year.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., where Goodhand works is now leading the subpoena fight, as well as Mueller’s upcoming trial in November against longtime Trump associate Roger Stone.

Mueller spokesman Peter Carr declined to comment on the federal prosecutor’s statement in court about the active grand jury.

Susie Screw is shook right now.

Member when the GOP promised to strengthen the ACA in exchange for her vote on the tax bill, and she acted like she got a major concession

She is a clown, and has been a clown for a while now.

After all of that she is still getting a primary challenge.

It was a coming of age summer for all us young boys. Bryan Adams Summer of '69 starts playing in my head as I reminisce. I remember taking a break from my civics class homework to read the Start report in US News and World Report. I had locked my room so my parents wouldn't walk in on me and, perhaps out of shame, hid even deeper under 2 layers of bed sheets. While the detailed description of the cigar scene was a very good read, it was the description of obstruction of justice and how Bill Clinton may be impeached for it that got me excited. To this day, I still can't get the magazine open again on account of the sticky pages.

I was 5 at the time and I knew, then and there, that justice would not be served until Hillary was locked up for her crimes.

The Starr report was my path way to politics as comedy.

It’s been reports about climate change where I’d lock my door, invert a gym sock and enjoy three minutes of ecstasy. There was so much anticipation 21 years ago. You’d have to slowly download some grainy UN report about a potential 1.5-2.0 jump on global climate change and that was enough. Sometimes a paragraph about a marginal retreat of summer ice in the Arctic Ocean was plenty.

Now it’s 21 years later and I need way more. I need 30-45 minutes and multiple tabs all in HD showing climate and weather models of cataclysmic 5C or above effects. I have to see a sweet innocence coastal city drop to its knees and take multiple loads of category 5 hurricanes. I need an innocence farming region of the Midwest pounded by swollen rivers. Sometimes I have to see interactive climate graphics where the whole world gets f-d from all sides.

Do t stop burning coal, I need to see the effects of burning it. My imagination and a few lines of text and single chart was good enough in 1998 but not any more.
