Mueller Gets Additional Prosecutor Resources


As Special Counsel Mueller's investigation finds more and more witches in the "witch hunt," his workload is apparently such that he's getting reinforcements from several U.S. Attorney's offices to work on the case. According to the Bloomberg article:
"Mueller and his team of 17 federal prosecutors are coping with a higher-than-expected volume of court challenges that has added complexity in recent months, but there’s no political appetite at this time to increase the size of his staff, the officials said. [snip] 
Investigators in New York; Alexandria, Virginia; Pittsburgh and elsewhere have been tapped to supplement the work of Mueller’s team, the officials said. Mueller has already handed off one major investigation -- into Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen -- to the Southern District of New York."
"A higher-than-expected volume of court challenges" confirms that unindicted co-conspirator Donald "Rump" Trump's criminal crew are engaged in judicial obstruction as well.

A positive sign is that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who approved those additional resources, was not cowed by last week's kangaroo court performance by Rethuglican radicals on the House Intelligence Committee seeking to undermine the investigation. Let's hope his spine remains straight.
