“Americans have awakened to the importance of the rule of law and the danger of its erosion, and that’s a very, very important sort of antibody response.” “And it’s a source for optimism.” —James Comey

During a St. Louis Public Radio Interview on Wednesday, James Comey, Former Director of FBI, discussed his impressions about the Special Counsel ongoing Russian Investigations. He said that he thinks that the Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel might be in the “Fourth Quarter” of its Russian probe.

“An argument to be made that the conviction — the plea and cooperation by Paul Manafort — may represent that we’re in the fourth quarter,” said Comey.

He further added that…

‘The way you normally do investigations is you work from the bottom up, and so they’re getting pretty high. The plea and cooperation by Paul Manafort may represent we’re in the fourth quarter.’ —James Comey

Comey was the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 2013 to 2017. President Trump dismissed him in spring 2017 when FBI started its investigations to detect if any of the Trump’s election associates were involved in the Russian’s efforts to influence the Presidential elections of 2016.

Since the time it began May 17, 2017, United States Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel is administering the Russian probe under Robert Mueller, a former director of FBI. Mueller took over the various existing investigations of FBI including those that relate to the Trump former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and uncovered several leads against him. Moreover, Paul has been found guilty on account of eight bank and tax deception cases in the last month, making him first man from trump campaign partners to be convicted in Mueller investigations.

Comey, who has been facing great criticism by Trump and Republicans for the Russian probe, commented that he is not confident about the progress in work and he does not know whether Mueller inspection is about to conclude. He said,  The reason I'm hesitant even to say that, is Bob Mueller conducted his investigation like a pro — you know nothing about it except through his public filings, and that's the way it's supposed to be,” Comey said. “And so, I can't say with certainty where he is.”
