Dear Mr. Mueller, it's Friday

Former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi said he thinks special counsel Robert Mueller is “ready to indict some folks” with findings from his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Speaking to Brian Williams on MSNBC’s “11th Hour” Thursday night, Figliuzzi, who worked with Mueller at the FBI, laid out Mueller’s possible plan.

“I’m not saying he’s indicting the president. 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,” he said.

Figliuzzi predicted that Mueller’s days could be numbered since Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions and appointing acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.

“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.
