Apparently, yes, but not run by Mueller's team anymore manor321 Apr 2019 #1

Well if it's still functioning, isn't it part of the Judiciary, and not subject to executive branch Volaris Apr 2019 #2

Yes. A US attorney is handling the mystery company's Supreme Court case there. pnwmom Apr 2019 #3

I'd assume perhaps prosecutors in the DC office are running it. Not sure if we know.

I was under the impression that a grand jury, once empanelled, can offer recommendations for indictment for whoever it needs, and only the judge assigned can shut it down.

If so, I'm not concerned as some others as to Barrs redactions, because the GJ can keep working.

If I'm wrong, someone please correct me?

That was a Mueller case originally.

And for all we know, there are other cases, too.
