I Think Mueller is in for the Long Haul

I dont even think it will be January after the new house is sworn in.

Im thinking the middle to late next year.

Hes working on his own time table.

Also it seems finally, those handful of twitter Journalists, have stopped
saying "Indictiments may be coming this week" and are now saying....

"Mueller is building a case"

They were finally right about something.

If Whitaker was ready to put the kibosh on the Mueller investigation and then he saw what Mueller had and realized he could not kill it. Not so much because he had a change of heart, but because he realizes that with the D's in charge in the House, this stuff WILL come out and his ass would be in a sling for obstruction if he sat on it.

and the prosecutor is so methodical about building an uncontestable case, it takes time.

I'm confident Mueller will fully expose Trump for the criminal that he is.

It is important to the nation's future that he be given his time.

Had no defenses left
The cases were airtight
Yet, their sentences were lenient
That is because they have golden info about those above them
Mueller is climbing to the top

taking action, releasing info, making indictments within 60 days of an election, lest said election be influenced or interfered with. That's why some were predicting action by Mueller prior to Labor Day but not after. Comey broke that rule big time, to his discredit. Mueller didn't and I suspect he won't until the runoff in Mississippi is over.

6. Obviously Mueller can take his time, but while he's taking it, trump is strangling America.

Sorry, it's time for Mueller to turn up the heat, and proceed as if our lives depend upon it.

People are locked up every day without the prosecution all wrapped up with a tidy bow.

He indicted those who he needed help from to build a case against the others. Of course he is under scrutiny to be fair. He could say, I think there is something going on with someone like Rodger Stone but the hard evidence isn't there. That is a possibility.
