    "All charges thus far are unrelated to the original mandate"

    Unfortunately, as with Starr, the Special Counsel is granted a 'six degrees of separation' mandate and can pretty much investigate anybody, anywhere, any time.

    Starr had "any person or entity developed during the independent counsel's investigation referred to above and connected with or arising out of that investigation."

    Mueller has "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation"

    The investigation continues for as long as Mueller wants it to. Granted the Russian collusion angle looks to be an utter bust but Mueller can continue fishing for unrelated tiddlers well into President Trump's second term were he to wish to. I don't think he will. Bill Clinton didn't have twitter to keep the spotlight on Starr, Mueller doesn't get off as easily.
