Manafort, Gates, Flynn…. I would say he has caught some pretty big fish. This is already an enormous scandal, as big as Watergate and probably more serious, because of the implications for national security. And there is every reason to think that Mueller isn’t finished.
Far too many people, including those who should know, have no idea how a major investigation works. It takes time and a lot of small fry are scooped up first. If it were not that most of these have plead guilty to relatively minor crimes it would be more concerning. But most have done so which indicates they are giving Mueller information on those farther up the line. I do not believe anyone in this administration can consider themselves safe. And if this isn’t bad enough for them the FBI is also looking into the possibility that Russian money was laundered through the NRA, which could implicate almost all Republicans and even some Democrats.
Even Varvel admits there is something there. I guess the party of law and order doesn’t care much about the law when it comes to their own. And there has been no order to this White House, or someone would have stopped him from obstructing justice.
Secondly, Mueller is proceeding in a professional manner running his investigation by the book. That means that he starts with the smallest fish and works up to the top.
Oh my gosh, I just discovered my GoComics account has been hacked by a Russian bot pretending to be a university professor of philosophy and is now spewing liberal silliness all over these pages. Please ignore him; he is not me.

Varvel just mis-labeled this … It’s really his illustration of Nunes’ Benghazi investigations!

Gates has agreed to rat out Manafort.
Manafort can face 80 years in jail or rat out Trump.

Gary the catch is he is not fishing, he’s investigating.

Firstly, this comic has already been done.

This is FAR from over.

No surprise that Mueller has a lot more stature than the fish he’s catching.
