Robert Mueller is the most unknowable man in Washington Chicago Tribune - Duration: 1:47.

By now, it goes without saying that Mueller and his prosecutors run the tightest ship in Washington. No interviews, no leaks, no whispers, no jokes, no nuthin. In August, members of his team were spotted by the press waiting for a Shake Shack delivery at an Alexandria hotel during Paul Manaforts trial. Shake Shack, huh? joked a reporter. Peter Carr, Muellers spokesman, would not even confirm the order.

Mueller rarely ventures outside his temporary office in a nondescript federal building. Even in his most public role before this, as head of the FBI, Mueller only appeared in public when it was important to the bureau. Most of photos of him are from testimony to the Senate several years ago. His last speaking appearance announced before he was named special counsel was in May 2017 at the graduation of his granddaughter from a small boarding school in Massachusetts.

One of the things that I think is important in understanding him is understanding the perspective that he brings to this job, says Graff. If you got him in a moment of candor, he would say that this is no more than the third hardest job that he has ever had after in Vietnam and after being FBI director in the wake of 9/11. In that sense, the photo of him at the Apple Store is indicative of a lot: Hes just continuing to lead his life. His life has always been under the radar and non showy, and thats exactly how he has comported himself as special counsel.

Muellers private life is even more circumspect. It is possible, after following the bread crumbs of his biography, to determine his comings and goings. He lives in a gated community in Georgetown with his wife of 52 years, Ann. They have two daughters, Melissa and Cynthia, seen only when they attended his 2001 confirmation hearing as head of the FBI. The couple regularly attends services at an Episcopal church in downtown Washington. They both play golf, although Anns the better golfer of the two.

And they have a weekly dinner date, usually at their favorite Italian restaurant a few miles from their home. The Muellers have been regulars for years, typically sitting unnoticed behind the bar in the back of the room. How, in this age of smartphones and cameras, does Mueller pull that off? Slip in a side door? The owner, as did everyone contacted for this article, declined to comment.

In fact, virtually everyone within Muellers orbit refused to talk about him. Ill pass along your request, but she never returns calls about Mueller, explained the assistant of a lawyer who worked for him many years ago.

The people that he has surrounded himself with throughout his career are temperamentally very like him, explains Graff. And he has a good set of longtime friends in D.C. that he primarily socializes with. Hes someone who draws a pretty firm line between work and home in terms of socializing. Part of the answer is just that the people around him dont share the things that they do with him. And he has developed a series of places that he likes to go where I think that privacy is respected and theyre also not the trendiest restaurants on 14th Street where he would be recognized.

Even the press has been unwilling to cross Muellers invisible line. Salt Lake Tribune reporter Thomas Burr tweeted that he saw Mueller in June: Gotta love DC. Walk into restaurant, run into the special counsel. But Burr declined to say which restaurant, despite a flurry of responses to the tweet.

Some of this is respect for Mueller. Some of this is the fear of unintentionally providing a piece of information that could compromise the Russia investigation. And some of this is just fear for Mueller himself. Given the heated rhetoric surrounding Trump and a gunman who shot up Comet Ping Pong over the Pizzagate conspiracy theory friends and colleagues are reluctant to say anything that could harm him in any way.

Bob Mueller is doing exactly the right thing by simply focusing on this investigation and trying to determine the truth, says Panetta. I dont know what the final result is going to be, but I have a sense that whatever that final report shows that people are going to thank Bob Mueller for the way he handled this.

We asked Muellers spokesman if he had a response to . . . well, anything.

We appreciate your reaching out, replied Carr. But well decline comment at this time.

Mueller. Mueller. Mueller. Mueller. Mueller. Mueller. Everywhere, at any hour, its Mueller time.

Special counsel Robert Swan Mueller III is the second most famous man in Washington. Time Magazine just ranked him No. 3 on their Person of the Year list, after crusading journalists and President...

Washington is now five days away from a partial government shutdown CNNPolitics - Duration: 2:17.

Washington is now five days away from a partial government shutdown CNNPolitics

On Capitol Hill, Republicans and Democrats alike have made clear they dont want a shutdown, but lawmakers left Washington last week without a resolution in an ongoing standoff over funding for President Donald Trumps long promised border wall. The administration and congressional Democrats appeared to be no closer to reaching an agreement over the weekend.

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller on Sunday the administration would do "whatever is necessary to build the border wall," saying "if it comes to it, absolutely," when asked on CBSs "Face the Nation" if that would mean a partial shutdown. But Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on NBCs "Meet the Press" on Sunday that the President is "not going to get the wall in any form," saying the votes arent there in the House or the Senate.

The window is narrow this week for Congress to take action. The Senate will be back on Monday, but the House of Representatives isnt expected to return until Wednesday evening. That leaves little time before funding runs out at midnight on Friday for a number of federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, and other parts of the government.

Trump wants dollar 5 billion in wall funding, but that number is a non starter for Democrats. Any spending legislation would need to pass with at least some Democratic votes since it would have to clear a 60 vote threshold in the Senate where Republicans only have a 51 seat majority.

Some congressional Republicans were talking openly at the end of last week about the possibility that lawmakers could punt the border fight by passing a temporary, stopgap spending measure. If Congress and the White House agree to a short term funding patch that could leave the issue for the new, incoming Congress to resolve in January.

Outgoing Republican Rep. Jeff Denham of California CNNs Kate Bolduan on Friday, "At this late in the game, I think a short term resolution is in order, something that would allow the next Congress to actually come in and negotiate a much larger, longer agreement."

"The question is ... will we kick the can until the day after Christmas, January 2nd or 3rd, or whatever?," Republican Sen. Richard Shelby, the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, told CNN on Thursday. "I dont know. There has to be some sort of breakthrough."

So far, however, there has been no apparent breakthrough, and the threat of a partial shutdown moves closer to becoming a reality with each passing day.

The President defiantly said during a dramatic meeting last week with House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Schumer that he would take responsibility for a partial shutdown if one takes place.

"Ill tell you what, I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck," Trump told the top Senate Democrat. "So, I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. Im not going to blame you for it."

If a shutdown takes place, it would be limited in scope. Congress has already funded roughly 75 percent of the federal government through September 2019, including the Pentagon as well as the Departments of Health and Human Services and Labor.

But that doesnt mean a partial shutdown that would start just days before Christmas wouldnt be disruptive.

In the event of a shutdown, some federal employees would be deemed essential and would continue to work, but their pay would be withheld until the shutdown is over.

Other federal employees would be placed on furlough, meaning they would effectively be put on a leave of absence without pay. Congress could move to order that furloughed employees be paid retroactively after the shutdown is over, but that is not guaranteed.

Washington is working on Gulen extradition to Turkey, foreign minister says - Duration: 1:38.

Washington is working on Gulen extradition to Turkey, foreign minister says

Ankara and Washington have discussed the extradition of Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen from the United States, Turkeys foreign minister told CNBC Sunday.

Turkeys government has demanded Gulens return since the failed Turkish coup of 2016, which it accuses the cleric of orchestrating.

"Last time when they met in Buenos Aires, Trump told Erdogan that they have been working on that, but we need to see concrete steps because its been already two years, almost three years," Mevlut Cavusoglu told CNBCs Hadley Gamble at the Doha Forum on Sunday.

A former ally of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Gulen has lived in self-imposed exile in the U.S. for nearly 20 years. He denies any involvement in the coup attempt, which saw rogue Turkish military personnel commandeer helicopters, jets and tanks, attack parliament and seize television stations.

Political analysts suspected Trump might use Gulen as a bargaining chip in exchange for Turkish compliance in the scandal of Jamal Khashoggi. Turkish authorities accused Riyadh of complicity in the murder of the Saudi journalist in its Istanbul consulate on October 2. Trump has refused to blame the Saudi Crown Prince, whom he sees as a vital Middle East ally, which led some to believe that he would be more amenable to Turkish demands in exchange for Erdogans easing off the case.

But Trump told press last month that he was not considering extraditing the preacher to meet those ends.

The case of Gulen is a primary sticking point between the NATO allies, Cavusoglu said, along with Washingtons support of Kurdish paramilitary forces in Northern Syria, which Turkey associates with the PKK, Kurdish separatists who have carried out numerous terrorist attacks on Turkish soil.
