What's going on with Mueller? He has fallen off the radar.

[shraby]

[TomSlick]

1. He's gone quiet until after the election.

Mueller is too much a straight-shooter to do anything perceived to be trying to impact the election.

[SHRED]

2. God forbid he mess up anything for fellow Republicans

[TomSlick]

7. I sincerely don't believe that's the point.

Mueller is not going to get anywhere near the line of appearing political. When his report is issued, it must be clear that it is not politically based.

This is important. It may be the most important investigation in the history of the country. At this point, nothing is more important than the investigation be complete, accurate and unbiased.

We can wait another month for news.

[bearsfootball516]

4. Yep. People on DU sometimes forget that he's not on the Dems or Repubs side in this investigation.

He's an independent third party who's job is to figure out whether or not the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in 2016. He's not working for Democrats or Republicans, he's just doing his job and letting the chips fall where they may.

[SHRED]

10. That remains to be seen

It's at the hope level right now.

[defacto7]

26. With those credentials

maybe he should have been put on the Supreme Court.

[Garrett78]

19. The problem, of course, with the "don't impact the election" argument is that...

...all sorts of things are done all the time that undoubtedly impact the election, such as the recent fight over a SCOTUS nominee.

If indictments need to be handed out, then hand out the damn indictments.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. He and his staff are quietly doing their jobs,

investigating, interviewing, and getting ready to subpoena more reprobates to testify before grand juries.

[ProudLib72]

6. Can he subpoena judges Kennedy and Kavanaugh?

I'm pretty sure something was going on there.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. If there is evidence that they are connected somehow to the Russia investigation,

I suppose that would be possible.

[ProudLib72]

13. Another count of obstruction?

It seems like it to me. Maybe not Kennedy per se, but the choice of Kavanaugh for his willingness to find in favor of the absolute power of the president.

[WhiteTara]

32. Don't forget, Kennedy's kid was trump's banker.

They need some protection too. Kennedy had to have cover so KKKravanNAH took over the seat and Kennedy got paid off. Although that last bit is just conjecture.

[bdamomma]

5. Mueller is doing his work

with his team.

[Sneederbunk]

8. MSM can only concentrate on one major story at a time.

There was Kavanaugh. Now it will be the Nov 6 elections.

[Funtatlaguy]

16. Yep. They only have 24 hours and half of that is commercials.....so.....

[Poiuyt]

21. We also haven't heard much about the trump tax fraud case lately

[Leghorn21]

11. Welp, he's got this going on:

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has moved to seize former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's condo in Trump Tower in New York.

According to a court filing from Friday, the seizure is expected take place on or after Oct. 20.



FUCK YOU, MANAFORT

Also, I imagine chats with Michael Cohen are going well? Whassuppp, COHEN

Also, Concord Catering, indicted by Mr. Mueller & Co. long ago, tried to present the case this week that Mr. Mueller was exceeding the boundaries of what he was hired to investigate and a federal court said, FUCK YOU, CONCORD CATERING (aka that Prighozen mofo, “Putin’s Chef” fucker)

So yeah, Rugged Robert’s on the case shraby

Oh wait, and 7 Russians were indicted yesterday morning for being criminal hacker fuckers

So yeah, Mr. Mueller’s git it goin ON!!!

[NanceGreggs]

24. Just to fuck with Trump's head ...

... I wish a bunch of FBI-types would make a big show of moving large boxes into Manafort's empty condo - labelled "X15009-G Long-Range Listening Devices", "24 Minicams - GOV'T ISSUE", and "Agent Surveillance Logbooks", etc.

Then they can keep asking the concierge questions about Trump's apartment: how close is it to Manafort's, what kind of security system does it have.

[Leghorn21]

27. YES PLEASE

[DBoon]

28. That would be amusing

But I think people with that sense of humor don't last long at the FBI

[highplainsdem]

12. Just yesterday he seized Manafort property including a Trump Tower condo.

[dalton99a]

15. Yep.

[shanny]

18. I think it would be a nice thumb in the eye

if the feds allowed the Secret Service, or anybody else who is interested, to use it any old time but especially if Rump or the spawn are in residence.

[davsand]

14. Maybe working overtime securing investigation results.

I don't expect Rosenstein to be in place much longer now that the SCOTUS is corrupted enough to protect the festering orange anus. Mueller is running on a short clock.

Disgusting as today has been, I truly think there is a LOT more crap coming.

[Afromania]

17. A quiet Mueller is a dangrous Mueller.

[TheBlackAdder]

20. Final packaging for the next set of indictments.

[Greywing]

22. Mueller has always been quiet ... don't forget it's the current administration that

has been "leaking" information that is anything but factual. The orange thing and supporters have a short attention span and are crowing about their "win" and focusing on mid-terms.

I'm perfectly happy to have their attention diverted ... and leave Mueller to do his job. Next big thing will hit like a bomb.

[Takket]

23. no idea but i'm really strating to not care anymore

if the fire department doesn't show up until the house is burned to the ground, it doesn't really help anything

my only thought is that he figures a GOP congress will just shred his report, so he feels these is no point issuing it until after the election. so i would expect to hear from him after the election. if we don't hear from him by the end of November i'll lose a lot of faith.

[triron]

29. Good point.

[Golden Raisin]

25. Regardless of how great the potential "bombshell(s)" factor is

in Mueller's investigation(s) the disgraceful episode of Kavanaugh reinforces my belief/fear that united Republicans will do nothing with Mueller's report or take any action whenever he finally submits it. Well, perhaps they may just bury it.

[triron]

30. That's why he needs to indict POTUS.

They can't hide that.

[dem4decades]

31. Don Jr isn't running for anything, nor is Stone. Drop the indictments while he still can.
