What Robert Mueller learned from Enron

Rawstory

ProPublica

The patient, sophisticated and very aggressive prosecution of the energy giant could signal how he will handle the Russia investigation.

It seems safe to assume that nobody read Donald Trump Jr.’s damning emails with a Kremlin-connected lawyer more closely than Robert Mueller.

Mueller, the special counsel investigating possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, will surely be making calls to everyone involved in the now infamous meeting, including the president’s son; the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner; and his this campaign chairman at the time, Paul Manafort.

As he does, the question is whether Mueller will be able to build a case that goes all the way to the top.

-snip-

(my opinion) I have no doubt that Mueller's team can do a great job - but I wonder if they will be allowed to proceed unimpeded -

Yeah, Watergate took two years, but Nixon wasn't taking a wreaking ball to our institutions like the Con is.
