Mueller is about finished with his report

[Value Buy]

Washington Post says the report is basically done, so since they never fake any news, it must be true!

Obviously if Stone had any knowledge the report would not be close to being finished yet.
Just think, the report could go to the AG while President Trump is out of country in Vietnam.
What are the chances of that happening?

[happyhoix]

CNN was saying the same thing, but we've been hearing for the last six months Mueller was about to publish his report, so I don't really pay attention to those kinds of things. I wonder if this rumor started as "With the new AG in place, Trump will try to shut down the Mueller investigation" and that's where these reports are coming from.

I'm curious, if and when the report is finished, if it will ever see the light of day. I'm betting Trump declares it 'classified' and sits on it.

Whether the Trump family goes to jail before 2020, or after, doesn't matter to me.  I'm sure they'll keep a spot open for the entire family.  Once he's out of office, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire family moved outside the United States.  You know, to one of those countries that doesn't have an extradition treaty with us.

What happens if Mueller says there are a few democrats who need to be investigated and he needs direction to go there

If that happened, then he should investigate them.

My hope is that Mueller is investigating who might have committed crimes, regardless of their race, height, religion, wealth, or political persuasion.

If we were to have a pissing contest to see who had the greater number of dirty politicians, the GOP or the Dems, I'd have to say it would be close to dead even, if you go back to the start of our nation.  Remember Huey Long? Democrats hope you don't.  

Besides, Trump was a Dem for decades before he decided to run for office. (If you wanted to be mean about it, you could point that out, loudly and rudely, whenever any one says anything mean about Trump )

Wondering how that would work what with the continued secret service protection for past presidents.

He was given fairly broad limits to his investigation so if any democrats need to be investigated, they have been and apparently nothing came of it as far as we know.

Satire from The Borowitz Report

Bezos Says Amazon Drones Ready to Deliver Mueller Report to Every American Household
By Andy Borowitz

SEATTLE (The Borowitz Report)—Amazon drones stand “ready and waiting” to deliver copies of Robert Mueller’s official report, free of charge, to every American household as early as next week, the Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, confirmed on Wednesday.

According to Bezos, Amazon has been planning the Mueller delivery mission for months, quietly building its drone fleet from a meagre two hundred to well over three million.

“Amazon will be doing same-day delivery of Mueller’s report the day it is released, free of charge, to both Prime and non-Prime households,” Bezos said. “This is our way of giving something back.”

News of the offer sent the Mueller report zooming to No. 1 on Amazon’s best-seller list within minutes.

   Mueller has a pretty good record of "getting his man".  With the number of convictions we've already seen in this administration, I don't believe our POTUS has "clean hands".  Frankly, the difference between the number of convictions between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, going all the way back to Nixon, is quite stunning.  It's like the Republicans don't know how to keep out of trouble.

If Trump comes out clean, he comes out clean. I trust Mueller to do his job. (My only problem would be if Trump declares the report totally vindicated him, but because it's all so terribly top secret, he won't allow any of it to see the light of day. I'm gonna need to actually have a chance to review it.)

Mueller won't suggest another investigation into Hillary and the DNC, because he has a very narrow scope of what he's been tasked to investigate, and that doesn't cover Hillary and the DNC.

It's why he forwarded the information he got on Cohen over to the NY legal system, Cohen's questionable activities for Trump fell outside of Mueller's scope, which is limited to investigating the possibility of collusion with Russia during the election.

Now if Mueller happened to stumble over something that pointed to criminal activities by Hillary and the DNC, he would have forwarded it to the appropriate authorities, and since we haven't heard of that happening, I doubt he ran over any.

Don't worry, though, some GOPers somewhere are busy rehashing the whole Behgazhi! email scandal, if there is a legal case to be found in that morass, they will find it.

[thyme4change]

I won't say that Hillary is innocent, but they investigated the shit out of her. I think she is off the hook.

I also won't say that Trump is innocent, given the company he keeps, but if they don't find anything, then he should be left alone

not from any reliable sources, right?

it seems mostly like the Rudy Guiliani's (it will be done by Thanksgiving, last year) of the world have been "promising" this.

as I said in the beginning, if it gets done in less than 3.5 years that would be impressive.

in other words, if it is finished before the end of Trumps first term.

TRUMP BIOGRAPHER SAYS THE PRESIDENT, 'WITTINGLY OR NOT,' IS WORKING FOR RUSSIA: 'WE ACTUALLY HAVE A KREMLIN AGENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE'

Donald Trump biographer David Cay Johnston slammed the president in an interview on Wednesday, accusing Trump of committing crimes while in office and even going so far as to link him to the Kremlin.

“There’s just abundant evidence that Donald Trump has committed crimes in office,” Johnston said during a guest appearance on Dean Obeidallah’s radio show on Sirius XM. Johnston, a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, wrote about Trump’s rise to power in his best-seller The Making of Donald Trump.

“I’ve said from the very beginning that the kindest thing you can say about Donald [Trump] is that he has divided loyalties and I believe, wittingly or not, that he is a Kremlin agent,” Johnston said. “We actually have a Kremlin agent in the White House.”

I think the key word there is 'wittingly.'

I don't think Trump would knowingly collude with the Russians, but I know how he has been salivating over the chance to build Trump Tower Moscow.  And I know his first loyalty is always going to be to his own business. You can be certain Putin knows this, too, and having been a first rate intelligence operator, Putin would know exactly how to play Trump right into the palm of his hand, and he could do it in such a way that Trump probably still honestly believes he has not been manipulated by Russia.

I think Trump will probably be astonished when Mueller revels Russia's depth of involvement in his campaign, because Russia carefully hid their activities behind several of Trump's friends and allies. Astonished and furious, because it will make him look stupid and naïve, having trusted people deep in the Russian back pockets.

Opinion

The Mueller Report Is Coming. Here’s What to Expect.
By Neal K. Katyal
Mr. Katyal was an acting solicitor general under President Barack Obama.

A concise report will probably act as a “road map” to investigation for the Democratic House — and to further criminal investigation by other prosecutors.

The special counsel Robert Mueller will apparently soon turn in a report to the new attorney general, William Barr. Sure, there is still a lot of activity, including subpoenas, flying around, but that shouldn’t stop Mr. Mueller.

The report is unlikely to be a dictionary-thick tome, which will disappoint some observers. But such brevity is not necessarily good news for the president. In fact, quite the opposite.

For months, the president’s lawyers have tried to discredit Mr. Mueller and this report, but their efforts may have backfired. A concise Mueller report might act as a “road map” to investigation for the Democratic House of Representatives — and it might also lead to further criminal investigation by other prosecutors. A short Mueller report would mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end.

The report is unlikely to be lengthy by design: The special counsel regulations, which I had the privilege of drafting in 1999, envision a report that is concise, “a summary” of what he found. And Mr. Mueller’s mandate is limited: to look into criminal activity and counterintelligence matters surrounding Russia and the 2016 election, as well as any obstruction of justice relating to those investigations.
