QUESTION: Who is the ... OFFICIAL .... that said "No New Indictments" ?! Who is the source and

[uponit7771]

... is this person on record?!

Starting to thinking different about that phrase

Thx in advance for any input

1. I believe ABC - J. Karl . . .

He is one of the journalist that protect t-rump. Obviously, possibility, there is a leak . .

But then again, it could be a cover . . . lies.

2. It would have been corrected by now if it wasn't accurate.

4. I don't think so, that would allow for stoking of information by the M$M.

3. Exactly--

How would this DOJ official know? Unless it's Rosenstein, Barr, or Mueller-- how would they know?

Rosenstein's been pretty discreet, Mueller's like a rock. Barr might have said it, of course, but that doesn't, alas, mean it's true, since when this was supposedly said, he hadn't read the report.

I'd suspect Matt Whitaker, but I think he was summarily ousted by Barr a couple weeks ago.

5. Thank you, right now the M$M is doing the Iraq War thing and group thinking is what its starting to

... look like.

I'd like to know where the original report comes from etc.

Why would a flat "no further indictments" be the headline when there could be going forward and looked like a red herring in regards to what the DOJ policy is.

6. There has only been one statement, as I understand it

Robert Mueller himself will issue no new indictments. Nothing has been said about other prosecutors either way. My guess is that there will be new indictments because the investigations aren't finished.

Any new indictments will be issued by the US attorneys offices in New York, Washington DC and elsewhere. Mueller intends to finish up the cases he started, but he's also collaborating with other US attorneys offices. He always intended to hand off these long-term complicated cases that will take years to litigate, because he is very close to retirement.

The investigations are still going on, but eventually Mueller will slowly extricate himself as his cases wind down.

8. Do we know the official who ... made... that statement? I'm not trusting it at all now and I've

... seen the M$M's bent towards group think work.

This statement is driving the news cycle and it could've been a stoke that the DOJ of course wouldn't address at this point.

thx in advance

9. I'm guessing it was somebody who works for Barr.

Like I said, a guess.

10. I read it on Seth Abramson's epic tweet that was posted on DU on Friday

Link to tweet

It's a long message/post with about 50 additional windows. (Click on the first tweet and you'll be taken to Abramson's twitter feed.) The many entries are numbered in sequential order.

Long read but worth the time.

Edited to add: I believe it's stated in Mueller's letter to Bill Barr (Friday) that he's issuing no new indictments. That's where Abramson got his information.
