Why is the Mueller investigation taking so damn long? Probably because of stuff like this:

Why did the Saudi Arabian prince, of all people, pay $450 million at an arts auction -- the highest price ever for a painting -- for a painting that might not even have been a real DaVinci? And painting the human form is considered by many Muslims to be a form of idolatry -- and this was a painting of Christ?

Why did Bin Salman pay so much more than the $100 mil or so the gallery thought it was worth -- to the same Russian oligarch who paid Donald Trump, for a Florida waterfront property, twice as much as the assessors thought it was worth?

And why has the painting been "lost" since at least last September?

And what exactly happened in the Trump tower meeting in August 2016 attended by Don Jr, George Nader, Erik Prince, and others?

In addition to several corruption investigations in Monaco and Europe, Rybolovlev is also under investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for the $95 million purchase of Donald Trump’s home in Palm Beach in 2006, which Trump had bought four years earlier for $41 million. There was no market reason for the $ 54 million mark-up, except to save Trump from another bankruptcy.

After struggling to sell it, Rybolovlev demolished the property to sell it for its seafront land. Experts point out all three of Rybolovlev’s investment interests – football, art and real estate – are prime vehicles for money laundering.

The whereabouts of Salvator Mundi remain unknown; there are no plans to exhibit the artwork; the mystery of what happened at auction is deepening and Mueller’s relentless investigation into Psy-Group continues. These are all things that suggest to me there is much more to discover about the August 3 meeting and the Saudi, UAE and Israeli involvement in Trump-Russia.

The entire affair supports the new prevailing theory about the direction of the Mueller investigation.

Up until now, Robert Mueller’s focus has been squarely on Russian collusion but as citizens from other countries are implicated, it seems the Special Counsel has widened his purview from just collusion with Russia, to collusion with a multi-nation alliance of at least four countries including Russia, Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates and Israel.

1. The investigation is not taking an extra long time

If you compaire it to other investigations, so far it's the shortest. It's not unusual for investigations to go on for years.

2. One way or another, TRUMP has got to be removed. I am willing to wait.

3. So Many Schemes....So Many Criminals

and isn't this the guy whose lawyers who file briefs that are making the judge angry, quoting Animal House and all sorts of cultural references. They think they're so smart but still not getting to probe what Mueller knows.
