Now that the elections are over, attention will turn back to the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Mueller’s team has been quiet since Labor Day, consistent with a longstanding Department of Justice policy to avoid major public steps in political cases when an election is less than two months away. Now Mueller is free to move forward, and there are a number of things still on his plate. He may feel a new sense of urgency, with the departure of Attorney General Jeff Sessions raising concerns about the future of Mueller’s probe. Although they have done nothing publicly for the past two months, Mueller’s team has definitely been working behind the scenes. New indictments or reports could be ready to drop any day. We can’t know precisely what Mueller’s next steps will be, but here is a rundown of the issues that are still outstanding.
