The Mueller Report Is Coming. Here’s What to Expect.
The New York Times ^ | Feb. 21, 2019 | Neal K. Katyal

Posted on 02/22/2019 3:00:00 PM PST by detective

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.

This NYT article is written as if the reporter was given the information by the Mueller people. The reporter does not cite a single named source for the information. But he is clearly repeating what he was told by someone in the Mueller team.

“The Mueller Report Is Coming. Here’s What to Expect.”

He, Hillary and Obama will be found guilty of colluding with Russia?

I’m assuming the worst here.

No way in hell Muller spends all that time and effort and comes away saying “Oh, I guess we didn’t find anything at all”. Even if what he finds is minimal, there’s no way the Dems in Congress and the media treat it like that. As far as they’re concerned, it’s the smoking gun.

The issue of the Mueller Report is only the conclusion of Step 1 in this whole affair.

I read that as - here are the excuses for not finding Russian collusion and keeping digging because something must be there.
What an utter waste of money. Thanks Jeff s/

DJT is our last shot at taking the country back peacefully. If Mueller & the Bolsheviks try to dispose him we have to resist as if out lives depend on it.

Neal Katyal is one of the bozos who has been filing the frivolous anti-Trump lawsuits.

” If Mueller & the Bolsheviks try to depose him have to resist as if our lives depended upon it. “

Because our lives DO depend upon it.

Gee, its from the NYT, that must mean it is highly reliable.
I read that in a book copyrighted in 1920. Has the NYT gone downward since then?

I hope President Trump DECLASSIFIES EVERYTHING the very Day the Corrupt Mueller delivers his report.

It's an article from the NY Slimes.

Validity rating minus -100%.

Simply put... "Fake News"

We found nothing actionable.

We found nothing of substance.

We still know he’s guilty, and here is a three inch thick tome to make myself feel better, after drilling a dry hole.

Trump should be very afraid.

Road map? To where? He did all the investigating he could think up, and came up with nothing. There’s no paved road. There’s no dirt road. There’s no mountain trail. There isn’t even a way cleared through the brush to walk through.

Bupkis!

I suspect anything Mueller puts out will be spun by the dems as requiring immediate impeachment.

I don’t know about the Mueller report, but you can definitely expect fake news from the New York Times.

You are right. There is no possible way Mueller would cheerfully accept the abuse of wasting all that money and saying “Gee, it sounded like a good idea at the time. Guess it was a dry hole after all. Oh, well.” Never.

Maybe when young Trump was attending services at the Marble Collegiate Church (Norman Vincent Peale used to preach there), he accidentally wrote the wrong donation amount that didn’t agree with his donated check one week, so it was technically charity misrepresentation fraud on federal income taxes and the IRS will have Mueller’s guys send him to Leavenworth.

Melanie to Trump on visiting day: Donald, I baked you this special cake. I wanted you to be sure to get your requirement of “iron” that you need. Enjoy.

What a waste of time this speculative opinion piece is. Just the writer’s wet dream.

I’m figuring Mueller labels Trump an “unedited co-conspirator” on the basis of... absolutely nothing other than Mueller can do that. No actual charges needed.

I never trust the New York Times. NEVER. They are part of the deep state. So strike ONE... and heads up...lets wait and see what the report says and THEN report.
