Mueller could invoke a federal statute, 18 U.S.C. ? 3331, to convene a ?special grand jury? which is authorized to make public reports on
non-criminal misconduct. To convene such a grand jury, the law requires either the approval of ?the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, the Associate Attorney General??which may not be forthcoming here?or that it occur ?in a judicial district containing more than four million inhabitants.? Trump Tower, where the campaign was headquartered, is in the Southern District of New York, which has over four million inhabitants.
Among the powers of a special grand jury is a little-known provision stating:
(a) A special grand jury impaneled by any district court, with the concurrence of a majority of its members, may, upon completion of its original term, or each extension thereof, submit to the court a report?
(1) concerning noncriminal misconduct, malfeasance, or misfeasance in office involving organized criminal activity by an appointed public officer or employee as the basis for a recommendation of removal or disciplinary action; or
(2) regarding organized crime conditions in the district.
Kind of broad authority if used to publicly point out that while Collusion with a foreign government involving our free and fair elections may not be in the criminal code, it could be a form of malfeasance or misfeasance for a candidate who won an election to be involved with or have his people involved with.
There are more sanctions and levers on power at Mueller"s disposal that prosecuting a crime.
Like I said before there will be no smoking gun of a sit down or phone call between Russian authorities and Trump. It doesn't exist. The investigation into why there were so many contacts and with who is of interest and it isn't going away because there isn't a crime called "collusion".
