I think you are right. I am glad he is waiting until after the election per protocol, however, to release his findings either way.

It would be a late distraction and energize Dems more.

I am still afraid some October surprise from elsewhere is coming that will hurt, but hopefully not.

Should be after in keeping with procedure per the article.

But, we will see if there is leaking before.

Not knowing what “BSM” meant,I looked it up & it is an abbreviation for many things. In this case,I guess I’ll assume it means the BS Media.

Just a thought about the opposite happening. Mueller has been a darling of the Left, but imagine if he came out with a report stating his investigators could find no credible evidence that Team Trump ever colluded with Russia. The Left would turn on him in an instant.

Worse, what would happen if Mueller publicly admitted the entire coup was put up by the Rats to cover NeverTrumper GOP efforts to replace and then failing that delegitimize Trump. The reason the GOP has failed to turn this into Watergate 2.0 is the Elite GOP NeverTrumpers would be the ones exposed.

“I think the story that Mueller was created to give the GOP NeverTrumpers a reason to press the GOP to annul the election and replace Trump is the story that makes the most sense.”

I’ve always thought Trump willingly submitted to the Mueller investigation as a lesser of two evils.

It was a way to say to the American people “Look, I have nothing to hide. I’m completely transparent. These allegations are politically motivated fabrications. They can investigate all they want - I welcome it - I won’t try to stop it - they won’t find anything because there’s nothing to find.”

As long as the investigation is going on, Trump is inoculated against all of the allegations - it took away their power - shut them up. His enemies have basically had to shut up and wait for the results before resuming their cries for impeachment.

If you think about it, Trump may be the one that stands to gain the most by dragging this out. He silences his enemies pending the results of the investigation, and meanwhile, he gets to be seen as the innocent victim of a political witch hunt - not a bad optic.

"Trump's election wasn't about Trump. It was a throbbing middle finger in the face of Americas ruling class. It was a gesture of contempt, a howl of rage, the end result of decades of selfish and unwise decisions made by selfish and unwise leaders. Happy countries don't elect Donald Trump President. Desperate ones do."

Tucker Carlson, Ship of Fools.

My thoughts as well; kind of a “fake but accurate” type thing.

There is 1/1024% chance Putin helped Trump.

And as usual, Tucker gets it spot on.
