They probably belong to completely unrelated cases, since these numbers being bandied about would be for the whole D.C. court, not just Mueller's submissions. In fact not one of them may even belong to Mueller. Last time, news broke via leaks to CNN before any of his indictments were unsealed and unsealed, to cause Trump the most damage in the press. Since that strategy worked so well for them last time, I see no reason why they wouldn't follow the same game plan the next time there are indictments actually forthcoming from Mueller.
“It would certainly enhance Mueller’s career if he could “get” some huge names like Podesta or Clinton, even if he was staunchly allied with them before.”
Mueller is 73 years old, and has assets worth between $4.2 and $15.2 million according to federal financial disclosure forms at the DOJ. He was earning $3.5 million per year when he gave up his partnership at Wilmer Hale to become the independent special counsel. Other sources indicate his net worth to be between $8 and $18 million.
From an age perspective most of Mueller’s “career” is behind him. He certainly has enough saved to live quite comfortably for his remaining years. In addition if he wants to work after stepping down as independent counsel he can certainly return to a lucrative law practice, write a book for a few million dollars, hit the corporate speaking tour, or join multiple corporate boards. He is more likely to be concerned about his historical legacy (how the history books will treat him) than he is about moving forward in his “career”.
If he brings down Trump (resignation or impeachment) he will secure a place in the history books for several decades. If he indicts and convicts Hillary Clinton he will be remembered potentially for a generation but ultimately will lose even footnote status as time progresses. Consider that 150 years after President Andrew Johnson was impeached, who remembers the names of the key players involved in that impeachment, other than a few academics who specialize in that period of history?
Given how quickly supporting actors in historical events fade from the public memory, if Mueller is at all worried about career or legacy, his is most likely concerned about how people will view him in what remains of his lifetime. Does he want to be admired and flattered by the progressive elites and media or does he want to be hero to the “deplorables” who hate the Clinton’s and admire Trump? Consider where he lives and who he socializes with. Likely there is the answer. At age 73, it is tough to be out making new friends.

haha what are FRiends for?
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
This just makes no damn sense. So many people are getting this wrong and it is just spinning out of control.
How do you know ###MUELLER### is the one that filed the CASES ..and it is cases NOT INDICTMENTS

“Sealed dockets are insanely normal,” tweeted Brad Heath, an investigative reporter for USA Today. He said that they don’t necessarily equate to indictments. Sealed docket entries could also be search warrants that the Mueller team or other prosecutors filed.
Mueller will not be indicting anybody who has a “D” after their name.
Never gonna happen.
Hillary is truly above the law. There’s no crime so heinous that she’ll ever be held to account for.
Great analysis! Thanks!
Well... I guess we will all know soon.
Just as an interesting aside, do you know what that nursery rhyme represented ?
It may be. Wouldn’t surprise me if some are his...but you can’t say as fact that all or any are his.
Still waiting for Tony Podesta to be arrested
HilLIARy, Obama or whatever his real Arabic name may be, SorozNazi, Pelousy, several more.... above the law ... and
highly damaging, destructive...
not sure why and certainly not sure why the American people put up with it
See what happened to Papadapolous.
Podesta could have been arrested and cooperating
A lobbyist who did some work for Eric trump (dont remember name) said he was approached by Manafort about the same time. Was not comfortable with the attempt to go around legalities.
One could guess that Podesta might not have been so wary..thus possible for him to get arrested.
He was supposedly arrested last week. No sign of it
Doesn’t matter. No sign of Papadapolous either.
You keep it sealed when someone is cooperating ..especially if wearing a wire, etc.
This doesn’t mean Podesta was or was not arrested. It just means he could have been arrested and you might not know about it.
Cronin said Hillary would go down because of a sex tape of she, and Huma and a child.
I am not kidding.
I guess we’ll see.
