I don't think the Mueller Report release is imminent [View all]

I certainly believe that the press has sources stating that the Mueller Report is coming soon are accurate. However, all the sources are coming out of the Trump justice department. The wording in every report is that the Justice Department is "getting ready to accept". Nothing is coming out of the Special Counsel's office. I know that there are other indications, such as reassigning staff and moving files (and what's with that? Doesn't every organization just scan in documents and send them as an attachment from one computer to another. Isn't the actual moving of hard copy files something that was done 25 years ago?). Moving staff could just mean that the trials will be conducted in other jurisdictions, like D.C and the SDNY. Staff could be moving there for upcoming trials. The Grand Jury hasn't met in a month. But that doesn't mean that there aren't dozens of indictments under seal.

I think Mueller is still many weeks and maybe months from a conclusion. I think many more shoes will drop before then. I think that Barr (aren't you all suspect of the timing of these reports?) may be trying to hurry the thing along and add pressure to Mueller. I also think when Mueller shows Barr all the evidence, that Barr will support the investigation. As I said in a previous post, nobody is going to want to be on the side of Trump when this thing is over. Nobody wants their name linked to Trump, any more than they would want it to be linked to Benedict Arnold.

In short, don't be surprised if the Mueller Report is not released next week.
