Washington (CNN) Robert Mueller's prosecutors dropped yet another head-scratching signal in their latest court filing Tuesday that the special counsel investigation may be wrapping up -- or maybe it's not. Dreeben is working with Adam Jed, a more junior appellate lawyer on Mueller's team, to respond to the request from The Washington Post. Its request came the same day Manafort learned his first of two prison sentences, which together totaled about 7.5 years. The newspaper also highlighted the "quick-moving nature" of Mueller's investigation and the potential that reasons for any sealing may "dissipate." Several other recent signs have signaled that Mueller's probe may be winding down -- or at least fanning out to other prosecutors' offices.
