Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections, a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The grand jury, which began its work in recent weeks, is a sign that Mr. Mueller’s inquiry is ramping up and that it will likely continue for months. Mr. Mueller is investigating Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trump’s campaign or associates colluded with the Kremlin as part of that effort.


Here. We. Go

additionally: "A grand jury must serve until the court discharges it" -FRCP 6(g)

So Trump can't stop this now.

It's all for show. They are wanting Trump to fire Mueller so badly so they have more Russia talking points for the next couple months.

A grand jury in Washington is also more convenient for Mr. Mueller and his 16 attorneys—they work just a few blocks from the U.S. federal courthouse where grand juries meet—than one that is 10 traffic-clogged miles away in Virginia.

This is awful news for Trump. It requires a tremendous amount of discipline for even the most cautious clients and their associates to avoid the pitfalls of GJ testimony (e.g., perjury, obstruction, etc.). With this admin, ...

No set time frame. They're open until the court discharges it.


And there's no guarantee indictments will come from it.

I mean if you read the tea leaves it seems one angle that is getting focus from Mueller's team is the issue of obstruction, probably not that helpful(or wise) if Trump goes and finds a way to fire Mueller to hinder the investigation.

Now! There will be a run on popcorn.

Grand juries are powerful investigative tools that allow prosecutors to subpoena documents, put witnesses under oath and seek indictments, if there is evidence of a crime. Legal experts said that the decision by Mr. Mueller to impanel a grand jury suggests he believes he will need to subpoena records and take testimony from witnesses.
