Mueller’s probe is expected to end soon, but things are far from over

[dherd]

Former solicitor general Neal Katyal, who drafted the special counsel regulations, said in aNew York Times op-edpublished Thursday that “a short Mueller report would mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end.”

Katyal’s theory was that Mueller viewed himself as the chief architect of the investigation phase for a family of cases; he compared them to the Internet, “with many different nodes, and some of those nodes possess potentially unlimited jurisdiction.”
The report Muller submitted to Attorney General William P. Barr will detail not each witness’s testimony, but Mueller’s decision to indict or decline to indict the subjects of the investigation. He could file charges or unseal a large number of indictments at the close of the investigation, then let the Department of Justice prosecute them.

“Their powers and scope go well beyond Mr. Mueller’s circumscribed mandate,” Katyal wrote. “So whenever Mr. Mueller turns in his report, do not assume that things are over.”

The report is unlikely to be a dictionary-thick tome, which will disappoint some observers. But such brevity is not necessarily good news for the CROOKED president. In fact, quite the opposite.

For months, the CROOKEDpresident’s CROOKED lawyers have tried to discredit Mr. Mueller and this report, but their efforts may have backfired. A concise Mueller report might act as a “road map” to investigation for the Democratic House of Representatives — and it might also lead to further criminal investigation by other prosecutors. A short Mueller report would mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end.

The report is unlikely to be lengthy by design: The special counsel regulations, which I had the privilege of drafting in 1999, envision a report that is concise, “a summary” of what he found. And Mr. Mueller’s mandate is limited: to look into criminal activity and counterintelligence matters surrounding Russia and the 2016 election, as well as any obstruction of justice relating to those investigations.

Well atleast Dems are admitting that it’s nothing but politics now

Sooooo, after 2 years, millions of dollars, a team of investigators and prosecutors, a special Grand Jury, and no criminal charges against the President, we're going to continue this charade because the Dems haven't got what they wanted? Sounds about right.

So you're saying the president is innocent and will never be charged? Let's get it on record.

I'm saying if Mueller found anything, he'd charge him. If not, them let's move on with real shit.
