What if investigation is shut down, who would RELEASE all the info Mueller's team has on the

criminals, traitors, money launderers, co-conspirators, etc.

Today Stephanie Miller said to Malcolm Nance "Please tell me they arent going to get away with this"

To which Malcolm said "all the info the investigation has overturned or come up with would be revealed, many foreign countries would release info they have, it would be a mess for the republicans and trump."

Who would release all of that information? Will there be a Dianne Feinstein, i.e. HERO on the team that will release the info?

Maybe some drips and drabs if there was something particularly incriminating...

a) If there really were one mega server with everything they've found on it... Security and access control would be nuts

b) There will be legitimate classified information in there and that shouldn't be blasted to the world.

Mueller, the rest of the FBI and the Dems are WAY smarter than I am in that respect, and have stuff ready to go in the event Mueller is fired and Repubs block release of any info. You'd probably have numerous uncalled witnesses going directly to the press, and more than a few real patriots who have stashed info in case this happens.

Think about this... if Dianne Feinstein can release Fusion GPS' testimony transcripts seemingly without legal recourse, it appears there's nothing getting in the way of other Dems in the House and Senate also doing so.

7. I'd bet that Schneiderman (NY AG) already has copies of everything, at least related to state crimes

Most of what NY has is not related to the election, I think.

since the special counsel position is part of the Office of Special Counsel in the DOJ

As to anyone part of the investigation releasing some or all of the information gathered, there is a pretty good chance they could be charged with a crime as well. Law enforcement agencies take a dim view of investigators releasing evidence and other work product to the press or public without permission.

So we would have to hope someone there would do it. Otherwise, we will be very angry.
