From Los Angeles to NY, many Mueller-instigated investigations will dog DT for the rest of his term,

however long that turns out to be.

ON UPDATE: Everyone knows about the investigations being conducted in SDNY. In case you missed it, as I did, the Elliott Broidy investigation is being run out of the Federal Attorney's office in LA -- because that's where Broidy and his business are located.

Even as the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, submitted his confidential report to the Justice Department on Friday, federal and state prosecutors are pursuing about a dozen other investigations that largely grew out of his work, all but ensuring that a legal threat will continue to loom over the Trump presidency.

Most of the investigations focus on President Trump or his family business or a cadre of his advisers and associates, according to court records and interviews with people briefed on the investigations. They are being conducted by officials from Los Angeles to Brooklyn, with about half of them being run by the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan.

Unlike Mr. Mueller, whose mandate was largely focused on any links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, the federal prosecutors in Manhattan take an expansive view of their jurisdiction. That authority has enabled them, along with F.B.I. agents, to scrutinize a broader orbit around the president, including his family business.

SNIP

The precise number of federal investigations around the country that have grown out of the special counsel’s work remains unknown because such inquiries are conducted in secret. But the special counsel’s office farmed out strands of its inquiry to at least three other United States attorneys’ offices, including in Brooklyn, the District of Columbia and the Eastern District of Virginia.

I can’t read the rest of this article, but was so delighted today to see via a post by gldstwmn that the Feds in California have picked up the Elliot Broidy case!!! He’s in a world of hurt, and if he hasn’t flipped yet, he gets the Biggest Idiot Ever trophy!
