# Mueller Special Counsel Investigation The Mueller Special Counsel investigation examined Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, links or coordination involving the Trump campaign, and related obstruction-of-justice questions. Robert Mueller served as Special Counsel from May 2017 until the investigation concluded in 2019. ## Notebook evidence [[Scanned_20260730-1830]], PDF page 1, places Mueller between [[Crossfire Hurricane]] and [[Durham Special Counsel Investigation|Durham]]. The sequence was substantially captured during [[Event - Lake Oswego Explanatory Briefing]], so it is a REDACTED-derived mandate-and-review map rather than a chain attributable solely to Bryant. ## Boundary The report's findings, individual prosecutions, counterintelligence assessments, prosecutorial decisions, and later critiques must remain separately sourced. Page proximity does not establish a personal relationship to Mueller or any subject. ## Source - [[Scanned_20260730-1830]], PDF page 1. - [[Addendum - Provenance of Scanned_20260730-1830]].
