Wash. Post’s Lane: Mueller Grand Jury Shows Trump’s Going to Have this Monkey on His Back for Some Time

‘Looks like Mueller is not going to be fired’

RUSH EXCERPT:
LANE: "It’s never routine to have a special counsel on your case but within the context, this is relatively routine. You would have expected a special counsel who is dealing with a very complex matter which apparently is going to involve all of these business corporations that Donald Trump owns and his family owns. They would want the grand jury in place or they can issue subpoenas, take sworn testimony, and of course do all that behind closed doors under the veil of secrecy which of course doesn’t cover the weaknesses which is probably — witnesses. The president is going to have a monkey on his back for a number of months more. The tone Ty Cobb talk, not this is a terrible witch hunt but rather we look forward to fully cooperating and we hope this will accelerate. Maybe the change of tone might have something to do with bipartisan moves in the Senate to perhaps constrain the president’s power to fire Mueller. Looks like Mueller is not going to be fired in these digging in for a long trench warfare, so to speak."
