The much heralded "end" of the Mueller Investigation

[NewJeffCT]

Good article from Mikhaila Fogel and Benjamin Wittes

Everyone is saying it: The Mueller investigation is winding down. The acting attorney general declared the investigation “close to completion” during a press conference. His wife, Marci Whitaker, has also insisted that the special counsel’s investigation is “wrapping up.” President Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, William Barr, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that, given his public actions, Mueller is “well along” in his investigation.

The press is buying it. NBC says we could be looking at “mid-February” for a delivery of the so-called Mueller report; that would be, well, now. Yahoo! News reported that the probe could be “coming to its climax potentially within a few weeks”—a few weeks ago.

There have also been reports that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has been overseeing the investigation, will likely step down soon, but only after the completion of the Mueller probe.

1. "People are saying"

"People are saying ---" is something that Trump uses to create credibility for whatever scam he is hawking. People say a lot of things. So what?

I fully expect that we will know when the Mueller investigation is over, when he steps before a microphone and says something like, "Today I have submitted a report to the AG." Until that time, I patiently watch the unfolding of his efforts.

Patience is a virtue.
