Borowitz shows us why Mueller is taking so long.

I bet he had no idea how far this would get!

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Robert Mueller is renting a massive warehouse facility in suburban Virginia to accommodate the approximately forty cubic tons of evidence against Donald Trump that the independent counsel’s investigation is generating on a daily basis.

Employing over two thousand workers in a warehouse the size of seven football fields, the Mueller investigation has become the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. economy, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Working twelve-hour shifts, the members of Mueller’s evidence-storage team rarely leave the warehouse, where the punishing task of filing mountains of evidence against Trump proceeds around the clock.

“It’s like a city all its own,” one warehouse worker said. “There are people working in the Michael Flynn section who’ve never met the people working in the Paul Manafort section.”

While the warehouse workers are well paid, there have been issues with burnout. “The team in charge of filing all of Donald Trump, Jr.,’s different explanations of his meeting with the Russians had to take time off,” one worker said.

As gargantuan as the storage space appears to be, an aide to Mueller said that the investigation would soon be seeking a second, even larger warehouse. “We need a place to put all the Jared stuff,” the aide said.

1. Borowitz is, as we all know, a comedian.

But some months back Jeffrey Toobin suggested that in the end Mueller will submit a report to Congress and tell them that it's up to them to do anything else.

The longer this goes on, the more I'm afraid that will be the outcome.

2. On the Trump aspect yes, but rather than going for the Big Tree (with tiny branches), Mueller looks

like he is going for all the surrounding trees.

3. Do you think if all of the surrounding trees are taken out

that would make the big tree to weak to keep standing alone?

8. I'm not a horticulturalist (!) but I'd be banking on soil erosion !

9. I thought the eroded soil was what was causing this in the first place?

10. That's a hat tip to you ! Nice :)

4. The Borowitz 'warehouse'

Is a great metaphor for the length, breadth, and depth of the corruption 'Mueller' [and all the prosecutors, investigators, institutions, sources, etc., etc.] are uncovering! There is cause for all kinds of fears, . . . . . and serious hope.

5. yes, it's perfect, which makes it funnier now than it was 10 months ago!

6. "We're gonna need a bigger warehouse"
