the special counsel's team are not leaking....Mueller had all of the prosecutors take lie detector tests to make certain they were not big mouth leakers before he hired them!!And The Mueller team has Leaked every single aspect of their Investigation.
"at this point" means he is a person of interest, and this occurred before the search of Cohen's office.

The Pretense Is Over That The Mueller Investigation Is Still About Russian Campaign Collusion
Legal Insurrection

Excerpt:
There isn’t much of a pretense anymore that the Mueller investigation is about alleged Russian campaign collusion.
Maybe it started out about collusion, but it veered off course within a couple of months, when Mueller decided that Paul Manafort needed to be investigated for conduct many years ago having nothing to do with the campaign, or even Russia. Rod Rosenstein created the paperwork in early August 2017 to retroactively expand Mueller’s investigation and justify Mueller conduct that already had taken place.
The raid on Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen’s law office by the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York, was at the referral of Mueller, and signed off by Rosenstein. That raid was a frontal assault on Trump’s business and personal history.
If reporting is accurate, the records seized concerned not just payments to Stormy Daniels, but also the Access Hollywood tape revealed during the campaign. It’s fair to assume that a wide range of records going beyond those salacious topics were grabbed by the FBI, including Trump’s other personal and business dealings over a long period of time.
The seizure of Cohen’s records surely goes more directly to taking down Trump for conduct unrelated to the campaign much less Russian collusion."

whitewater was about a failed land deal and ended up with a blue dress years later.
your point, little one?
You didn't read the article, obviously, even though it was right there in front of you:

Mueller is on a long fishing expedition.................................
"at this point" means he is a person of interest, and this occurred before the search of Cohen's office.
Ha ha, your desperation is obvious since Cohen has nothing to do with Collusion claims, but about a woman Trump might have slept with years ago. Not only that a person of interest is a massive downgrade from being considered a CRIMINAL target.
From the Washington Post:
Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III informed President Trump’s attorneys last month that he is continuing to investigate the president but does not consider him a criminal target at this point, according to three people familiar with the discussions.
Mueller has had enough time to know if there was any collusion between Trump and Russia to make charge, but has instead has shifted to investigating possible Obstruction of Justice and his actions while in office.
Mueller has been all over the map, well outside of his original scope of investigation.
This all sounds like Partisanship to me.
What you left out:
"Special Counsel Robert Mueller told President Donald Trump's attorneys last month he was continuing to investigate the president but did not consider him a criminal target in the Russia probe "at this point..."
bolding mine
Sounds like a downgrade in his investigation, since that is what he was appointed for last summer.

First, Jake openly stated "at this point"......
Second, you're forgetting the adverb "YET"....and any law school graduate would tell Trump that to not be "considered" as a criminal target is an ever-changing and temporal assurance.
Third, here is what Mueller's team is authorized to do as per the statute......
The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017
(i) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and
(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and
(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).
(i) and (ii) are pretty banal. However, (iii) is interesting because it is also mentioned later in the document. Reading the relevant section of the CFR:
§ 600.6 Powers and authority.
Subject to the limitations in the following paragraphs, the Special Counsel shall exercise, within the scope of his or her jurisdiction, the full power and independent authority to exercise all investigative and prosecutorial functions of any United States Attorney. Except as provided in this part, the Special Counsel shall determine whether and to what extent to inform or consult with the Attorney General or others within the Department about the conduct of his or her duties and responsibilities.
(c) If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters.

How can you fail to see that as a downgrade in the investigation?

Mueller -- Republican
US Atty for EDNY -- Republican (appointed by Donald).
Rod Rosenstein -- Republican
Are you really this stupid?

Desperation? OK. But he is a person of interest and this after the search of Cohen's residences.
It's already been proven that you are a pathological partisan liar on USMB.the special counsel's team are not leaking....Mueller had all of the prosecutors take lie detector tests to make certain they were not big mouth leakers before he hired them!!And The Mueller team has Leaked every single aspect of their Investigation.
Only after indictments that spell some things out, and subpoenas that have as well, have we even gotten a glimmer of what they've been working on....
What we have found out has been from some Pulitzer prize level investigative reporting by the Press....
And of course a bunch of others simply speculating...
Give us a list and political affiliation of his team. Do better than Fox or CNN, please."at this point" means he is a person of interest, and this occurred before the search of Cohen's office.

Are you really this stupid?
Why are all the people he chose on his investigative team, probably ALL DEMOCRATS?
Special Counsel Mueller's team has only one known Republican
Mueller's own party affiliation is not clear these days.
How can you fail to see that as a downgrade in the investigation?
Collusion was never a criminal offense....However, obstruction of justice certainly is, and both the pleadings and indictments of Trump staff certainly constitute a very unethical administration, worthy of resignation (and subsequent fumigation of the oval office.)

Remember that Republicans picked Republicans to investigate the President.
Why would Mueller be fired, if there is nothing to find then no parties should be worried at all about being investigated. But all parties ARE worried about being investigated, like Nixon was. And consumate criminal Reagan.

Keep telling yourself that, but Mueller makes those decisions.How can you fail to see that as a downgrade in the investigation?

Cohen has nothing to do with Russia/Collusion stuff. Mueller may have overstepped 4th and 5th amendment rights.
Meanwhile up to March 1, 2018 is this report showing who got charged and what alleged crimes:
All of Robert Mueller’s indictments and plea deals in the Russia investigation so far
"None of the charges against Americans or Trump advisers so far have directly alleged that they worked with Russia to interfere with the campaign."
This after 11 months, he finds people who lies or committing alleged crimes that has nothing to do with Russian Collusion.
Then why did you use probably. You really don't know.You didn't read the link, when they did exactly that.Give us a list and political affiliation of his team. Do better than Fox or CNN, please.
