Mueller Anticipation Builds as 60-Day Window Nears

“The window closes next week for special counsel Robert Mueller to take any more bombshell actions before midterm season officially kicks off, and people in the president’s orbit and across Washington are watching with heightened anticipation that his final pre-election surprise could come soon,” Politico reports.

“The increased attention stems from Justice Department guidelines that recommend against law enforcement taking major investigative or prosecutorial actions close to an election, so as not to unduly influence voters. Although primaries have been underway for months, Giuliani and others have said the 60-day period before the election should be free of any big activity by Mueller’s team.”

Meanwhile, Chuck Todd issued a warning to the press regarding the Russia investigation: “Don’t miss work tomorrow.”
