1. That report is from this morning. Many outlets said the same thing.

I'm skeptical that any media outlet knows about Mueller's timing, but maybe they are picking up hints of activity. But today there were no indictments.

3. "as soon as" was the key phrase

It didn't necessarily mean today.

Muller had to know what was coming after the election, so I wonder what, if anything, he sent to the Grand Jury prior to election day?

16. It's coming from the indictees--

They're the ones (like Corsi) going on TV and whining about it.

2. It's owned by the Moonies.

Do they ever lie?

4. Once in a blue Moonie

[R. P. McMurphy]

7. You made me laugh.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

5. CBS broke the story

Maybe it was that old lady reporter... Murphy

9. The Washington Times is owned by the Moonies. But it doesn't appear that The Hill is.

From Wikipedia:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hill_(newspaper)

The Hill was founded in 1994 under the company News Communications, Inc.. The success of Roll Call was cited as a factor that inspired The Hill. Jerry Finkelstein, the former publisher of the New York Law Journal and The National Law Journal, was the primary shareholder of the company. New York Democratic Representative Gary L. Ackerman was a major shareholder of News Communications.[7]

15. The Hill is owned by a Trumpite billionaire: Finkelstein

Jimmy Finkelstein worked wit the Trump campaign.
Finkelstein is all in on Trump.
That’s why he hired John Solomon, the guy who silliness Hillary wit the false uranium story.

17. I looked for something about that but couldn't find it.

I know Finkelstein's brother is a Trumper, but I couldn't find anything about James. I couldn't find an endorsement or a donation.

Do you have a link?

22. Finkelstein was an early Trump campaign organizer

I’ve known him forever,” said James Finkelstein, a publishing executive and personal friend of Mr. Trump’s. As for the birther issue, “I probably heard him say it first on television.”

20. That's why The Hill always sticks in my craw -

I knew they were poison but thought it was the Moonies.

Turns out it was the Trumpies. Even worse.

12. No it isn't, a fact you could have determined in about 30 seconds.

19. Well, google took me down that road.

When I put “News Communications, Inc.” into the search field it popped up with “News World Communications, Inc. is an international news media company founded by Sun Mung Moon.

I see the confusion now, but I did do 30 seconds of research.

21. They sure can't write!

6. How bout Black Friday. nt

8. Or tomorrow morning at 8 am. Just get this overwith asap.

Hurry UP!!

10. Always been skeptical of that publication.

[PoliticAverse]

11. The Hill is one of the best connected political websites. They often have information before others.

I've posted many of their stories here on DU.

Their editorials are on the right so learn to distinguish their editorial content from their factual stories.

13. There are lots of wingers in their discussion threads. n/t

[PoliticAverse]

23. Some online news media have eliminated their comment/discussion boards...

finding that they are counter-productive.

14. Well, Corsi and Stone have said they expect to be indicted.

Probably the special counsel's office told their attorneys to expect the indictment.

Donnie Jr also has been said to be expecting an indictment. (Personally, I can't wait.)

Tomorrow would be just a great day for this, don't you think?
