In a pair of court filings Friday, the special counsel added four assistant U.S. attorneys to the case against Russian entities and people accused of running an online influence operation targeting American voters.
People familiar with the staffing decision said the new prosecutors are not joining Mueller's team, but rather are being added to the case so that they could someday take responsibility for it when the special counsel ceases operation. The case those prosecutors are joining could drag on for years because the indictment charges a number of Russians who will probably never see the inside of a U.S. courtroom. Russia does not extradite its citizens.So this makes perfect sense, huh? The special counsel assigned to take over the Russian meddling investigation is going to hand off the cases against the Russians who meddled, in order to concentrate his efforts on prosecuting old cases that have nothing to do with Russia.
Talk about a guy with his priorities?
More to the point, much of the speculation is that the Russian legal cases were little more than a public relations stunt, and that the actual court cases (that nobody expected would come to fruition) could end up with humiliating consequences for the prosecutors involved.

The development suggests Mueller is contemplating the end of his work and farming out any potentially outstanding prosecutions to other parts of the Justice Department.
The case stems from a February indictment against 13 people and three companies accused of a long-running scheme to criminally interfere with the election.
