Special counsel Robert Mueller is “ready to indict some folks” in his investigation into Russian election interference, according to a former FBI official.
“I think he’s ready to indict some folks,” said Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence who worked with Mueller at the agency, in an interview on MSNBC Thursday evening. He added that “those indictments will tell the story of what he’s found against the president.
“I’m not saying he’s indicting the president,” he added. “I’m saying there’s a middle ground where he tells us the story, locks it into the court system by indicting others, then files a report with [acting Attorney General Matthew] Whitaker.”
“Perhaps what we’ll see is Bob Mueller telling us the story of a corrupt president through indictments,” Figliuzzi continued.
“I think the Whitaker appointment steps up the timeline, and I think perhaps if Mueller sticks to the strategy of telling us the story through indictments — the indictments speak to us — that he’ll speak to us soon, very soon, with additional indictments, perhaps that tell the story of a corrupt president,” he said.
“The appointment of Whitaker is a blatant attempt by the president to make Mueller go away in the form of either removing him or greatly constraining his mandate or funding," Figliuzzi said.
“So Mueller knows that, he’s been there, done that, he’s prepared for this.”
