Trump lawyer: Mueller done with White House interviews, probe will be done within 'a few weeks'



Trump lawyer: Mueller done with White House interviews, probe will be done within 'a few weeks'
By Brett Samuels - 12/12/17 06:53 PM EST


President Trump's personal attorney Ty Cobb said Tuesday that special counsel Robert Mueller has finished interviews with all the White House staff members he intends to speak with, according to multiple media reports.

The special counsel’s office declined to comment, however.

Cobb has previously said he believes the Mueller probe could be over soon.

In August, he told Reuters he would be "embarrassed" if the probe was continuing past Thanksgiving. Weeks later, Mueller announced former national security adviser Michael Flynn had pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI.

Other observers have raised questions about whether Cobb's view is too rosy, given the all-star team Mueller has assembled to go after Trump. Other special counsel probes have also not ended quickly, giving credence to the idea that this investigation could go on for some time.

by saying the investigation will be over in a couple weeks, implying that no wrong doing by trumpft was found.

This is part one of a plan. Part two, discredit Mueller and/or the investigation.

Somethings up, that's for sure.

These comments are intended for the ears of one and only one person.

Notice how "the special counsel's office declined to comment." Cobb doesn't really know, he just needs to keep his client mollified.
