Surely Mueller was not that naive.

I still don't get why Mueller did not subpoena Trump, Jared and Ivanka to testify. What the ever loving fuck?

I’m guessing there was some sort of pressure on the team to not do that.

I hope they have a very good reason for the delays.

Maybe they knew Barr couldn’t keep a lid on the report forever. Letting the press publish the leaks certainly makes Barr look far worse than he would have had Congress “bullied” him into submission. Hard for him to claim righteous anger about partisan politics when it’s the press knocking on his door.

That is not a crime Mueller would have delegated to another office, like the money laundering.

Mueller's office confirmed he will not have any more indictments. That really is shocking and incomprehensible. What was the point of working to flip Cohen and Manafort if Mueller was not going after Shitler...orJarvanka or Don Jr.?

I got a sinking feeling when Judge Sullivan asked Mueller's prosecutor if he had considered charging Flynn with treason.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/judge-tells-michael-flynn-you-sold-your-country-out-and-suggests-he-committed-treason. I thought, wow, this judge has seen the evidence and thinks the charges are not enough; Mueller is being too lenient. The facts are obviously really bad, yet Mueller's charges and requested sentence against Flynn have been light. None of this makes sense. Mueller has some 'splainin to do.

But Mueller doesn't seem to play that game.

Will be interesting to see what comes out.

So far, Mueller has been quiet, other than to have a statement issued that there will be no more indictments.
