The Mueller Report May Be Done, But We’ll Always Have the Threads
NYMag ^ | 3/11/2019 | Brian Feldman

Any day now, Robert Mueller, the special counsel overseeing the investigation into possible Russian interference in the U.S. election, will submit the report of his team’s findings to Congress. Many people online will tell you that, thanks to months of investigative journalism and copious leaks from Congress, we already know many of the findings that will be divulged therein, and can predict what will happen when the report is released. I mean, come on, can’t everyone? When the Mueller report is finally released, as everyone knows, the special counsel will reveal himself to have been in league with President Trump the entire time, and that his mission was to investigate and take down a global ring of child predators prominently featuring Hillary Clinton.

You may feel smug about your foreknowledge of the contents of Mueller report, but surely not more so than the deep believers in QAnon — the elaborate, amorphous, 4chan-based conspiracy theory that holds that Mueller and Trump have been secretly plotting to take down a ring of wealthy, powerful pedophiles. Any day now!

There are many lessons to be learned from Donald Trump’s surprise victory in 2016, but my favorite is the questionably comforting knowledge that all human beings, regardless of their political persuasion, can attain a baseline level of self-deceiving stupidity.

Nope, Wrong, Congress is OUT of the loop on this and the report will ONLY be delivered to the AG. It is His Decision whether or not to release ANYTHING to ANYBODY!!!

It will be used as evidence against the co-conspirators in the plot to frame and remove a duly elected president. Call it Exhibit A...

Yep. If Qtard’s garbage claims come true in the Mueller report...I’ll be one of the biggest crow eaters around.

I still can’t believe they are allowed to post that crap on FR. It makes us all look bad.

Of course the Podesta brothers are still at GITMO I guess...well that’s at least what Q claimed a long time ago. And when I realized that was a lie the whole thing was revealed as a hoax to any logical person.

Why is he submitting a report to congress when the DOJ were the ones who initiated the investigation, not congress? Or is this just fake news?

Meanwhile, the Bushes are caught with more than a million in illegal campaign money from the Chinese—and they get a fine (for less than the illegal amount donated) for it:

Just saw on Twitter that 32 employees of the New Yorker got the ax today. Hopefully Brian was one of them.

Am betting Huber/ Barr etc are perusing it as we speak Comparing it to what they have found. They sure wouldn’t want to be surprised or embarrassed with contradicting materials.

Absolutely correct. And my prediction is that the final report will be issued but the Special Counsel will not shut down to prevent POTUS from declassifying FISA applications and other docs under threat of obstruction of justice charges. Just wearing my Karnak the Amazing clothes.

Yeah, man! I hope he is stupid enough to do just that.

Title 28 - Judicial Administration
Section 600.8 - Notification and reports by the Special Counsel.
(c) Closing documentation. At the conclusion of the Special Counsel's work, he or she shall provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel.

Go on, Mule, follow that advice and break the law.
Let's see if you sink or swim.

Do you believe Congress is who is supposed to get his report?

If he turns his report over to Congress he will be breaking the law.
See reply 13.
The Attorney General, by law, gets the report, not Congress.

This...ahem...reporter doesn't know what they're saying.

Are you under the impression as well that Congress is who is supposed to get the report?

“the special counsel will reveal himself to have been in league with President Trump the entire time”

If so it would be brilliant... Not happy about the cost, but brilliant. What better way to keep a group from getting nosy and digging around? let them think there is no need to themselves because someone else already is...

>Yep

Without either defending or denigrating the Q thing, I’m not aware of any actual “Q” posts that suggest the things claimed in this article. Others writing on chans and elsewhere, yep.

In short, a straw man. Do people allege crazy things we supposedly write or think? Daily.
