Being sworn in, then I will be incredibly disappointed.

Is it true that Mueller is the type of guy who works by his own timetable, so
if hes not ready by January he wont release his report and if his report is finished
say in December, he will release it then?

Mueller really has anything that GOPers will move on, whether he will be able to release it in a proper format, whether anyone that matters gives a darn, whether trump will do something before that Democrats can’t undo, whether Mueller has something that would cause trump to resign tomorrow, etc.

It’s past time, considering the threat. You don’t wait until you have everything tied in a bow when a bomber is on the loose.

He grew up during and drew his values from a pre-Reagan era, when even Republicans talked about "sacrifice" and "duty."

He went to school with John Kerry, who also went to Vietnam. Imagine how men like this feel about the sleazy Trumpster.

I think the prosecutor who brought down John Gotti will bring down Donald Trump.

But the longer he goes not saying anything, not unleashing indictments, the less likely it seems he will do those.

He'll end with filing a report to Congress, probably mid-December. We will probably never know what the report says.

Mueller Time? Hah! Remember Fitzmas?

that patience is needed, there are only a couple weeks left of this Congressional session and I think that we will have something to be really thankful about come Turkey Day... and it's early this year. Take a deep breath, the next couple days might be testy.

Mueller mostly waits until Jan, when the Dems control the House. And then the indictment rain comes down.

Has anyone ever seen him? Maybe he retired long ago and moved to Florida. (I kid.)

be waiting for Mueller's report. We will win the Presidency in 2020 and we will STILL be waiting for Mueller's report.

Let's face it. He served as the ONLY check on Trump until we won the House. That is all. But we should be grateful even for that!
