White House lawyer Ty Cobb has reiterated his view that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign is winding down — at least with regard to the White House itself.

White House lawyer Ty Cob predicted the Russia probe would be done by Thanksgiving. But on the Friday after Thanksgiving, Mueller brought down former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. And he’s not done.
