What if Mueller only releases a series of indictments and no report

[redstateblues]

With Trump listed as unindicted co conspirator with a laundry list of charges. Mueller will eliminate the prospect of the Rs burying “a report”

1. There will be no "Ken Starr" volume with the Mueller report.

I heard Terry Gross interview New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt on Fresh Air today. This was the biggest takeaway. The entire transcript will be posted tomorrow.

There is nothing in the rules and laws that allows Bob Mueller to write a report as long as he wants and [to] give it to Congress. All he can do is report to the attorney general about who he prosecuted, who he didn't prosecute and what he found. The attorney general is only required to tell Congress about those instances in which Mueller wanted to take investigative measures or moves, like indict someone and was stopped from doing it. That is the only thing that has to be told to Congress.

Mueller Investigation 'Close To Being Completed,' Acting Attorney General Says
The problem is ... that the public really wants an accounting of what went on. They want a 9/11-style commission answer to what happened — but that doesn't exist. So what will happen? How much will Congress get? It's not really clear. It's not like he has this ability just to hand over everything that he found to the Hill and for the Hill to do whatever they want with it. That structure is not there.

2. Oh. Goody. n/t

4. No need, if Mueller does what the OP suggested, and indictments tell the whole story.

That's what Mueller and the Southern District of New York have been doing. They are issuing the "report" on an indictment by indictment basis. For example, we already know that Trump conspired with Cohen to commit election law crimes, thanks to the language of that indictment.

They will do the same with all the indictments, which will tell us everything, and Trump won't be able to do anything about it.

3. Yes, he could do that.

SDNY already did it regarding Individual 1. The term "unindicted co-conspirator" is no longer used.
