Today would be a good day

[SHRED]

For the full report to end up at the WAPO and NYT somehow.

1. Any day would be a good day, but sooner rather than later.

I'm afraid we'll never see it at all unless somebody leaks it.

2. Dumb question, but...

Does everyone who worked on the Mueller team have access to the full report, or do they only have access to those portions they worked on themselves?

3. Nobody here knows the answer to that question.

I don't think we have anyone who was on that team posting on DU. So, we simply don't know.

5. Now, now, MM, no need to be snarky

You know where I'm going with that question: if everyone on the team has full access, then the potential for full leakage is much greater.

Besides, I thought you were DU's own undercover agent. At least, that's what you have led us to believe in multiple other posts.

6. Me? The only time I go undercover is at bedtime.

However, the fact is that we don't know who had access to the entire report. It may have been tightly controlled. In fact, I imagine it was. Now, there are probably many people who worked on parts of it, and a few who worked on assembling the finished report. However, compartmentalization is sort of part of the whole federal bureaucracy's mental state. So, I doubt that all that many people had access to it, in the end.

I'd love to see it dropped on WaPo and the NYT, of course, on some big USB thumb drive, of course. That would be wonderful. However, I'm betting they protected against that with permissions on the files and overall report file. It was probably locked down so that nobody could copy, change, rename, save as, or transfer that file. That's easy enough to do. It was probably broken down into chunks for editing, proofreading, and other tasks, but never distributed in whole. I doubt that more than a couple or three people had permission at the copy, change, rename, save as or transfer of the complete document.

I'm not betting on it being leaked as a whole. Parts of it, maybe. Does Mueller even have a portable copy? I sort of doubt it.

4. that would certainly make for an exciting Friday news dump.
