Make no mistake. The media, comprised of "millionaires funded by billionaires," has their own agenda to protect: $$$$$$$$$$$$$

tRump's lawyer diGenova is buying guns to shoot people, not for deer hunting.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211852389

excerpt:

DiGenova joined Laura Ingraham on her latest podcast, where she bemoaned how the news about arrested Coast Guard lieutenant Christopher Hasson takes oxygen away from Jussie Smollett and the troubles in Virginia’s state government. This became the basis for a segment from Ingraham’s Fox show later in the evening.

When Ingraham asked diGenova for his thoughts on whether there’s a connection between Hasson and President Donald Trump, he grumbled about Virginia’s leaders “getting a pass” because of the decreasing media focus on them. Soon enough, diGenova went all out and declared “We are in a civil war in this country.”

“There’s two standards of justice, one for Democrats one for Republicans. The press is all Democrat, all liberal, all progressive, all left – they hate Republicans, they hate Trump. So the suggestion that there’s ever going to be civil discourse in this country for the foreseeable future in this country is over. It’s not going to be. It’s going to be total war. And as I say to my friends, I do two things – I vote and I buy guns.”

Which means it could be next week, but isn't necessarily. So it wasn't inaccurate.

They're some Trumpists over there. There's not much you can do if you're being lied to by several sources, or the sources are being lied to.

I think there is a lot of "fake news" surrounding the release date - trolling, wishful thinking, trying to get one ups...

Just to see what the Dem response was going to be. Maybe the GOP and Trump wanted to know what to prepare for?

next week.



Just like all the other predictions that came before it. Mueller is on his own GD time schedule. He'll complete his investigations when he's good and GD ready.

Unless they know for sure.

This was announced because a reporter saw boxes of documents being carted out of Mueller's building, some investigators who have left recently, and a slow down of grand jury meetings.

It was pointed out that there are still several Mueller investigations that haven't been resolved, the mystery company testimony for one.
Until they are all wrapped up it is unlikely that he will file a final report.
