MTP yesterday, and CNN this morning are making the assumption that it has.

We know that Mueller took over the evidence already collected, and as far as we know, evidence is still being collected.

they also seem to forget the FBI doesn't start an investigation like this independently.

interest in pushing the narrative that Mueller is almost done. One thing they don't have is leaks from Mueller's shop.
