I think, McConnell just floated a trial-balloon for never releasing the Mueller-report.

"I have consistently supported the proposition that his report ought to be released to the greatest extent possible, consistent with the law. … I think we should be consistent in letting the special counsel actually finish his work and not just when we think it may be politically advantageous to one side or the other."


"Oh, we can't release it now. Not in March 2019, because it would be unfair and politically advantageous for one party over the other. We must wait.

Still too soon.

Still too soon.

Still too soon.

Oops, now it's late 2019 and the 2020 campaign-season has basically begun. Now it would influence the 2020 election and we definitely cannot release it."
