There has been an uptick of late in anticipation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller handing over his Russia report to Attorney General William Barr, for reasons Law&Crime has explored before. A resurfacing of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein‘s words about what expect from the report only added to the chorus. The attention has been so great that Mueller’s spokesman Peter Carr, who rarely comments, addressed an inquiry.

Amid growing speculation about the report, Carr saw fit to respond the following question: “Has the office provided guidance about the timing of a SCO report and/or whether the SCO has ruled out bringing further indictments?”

Notice that he begins response by saying “No.” “All that I can point reporters to is the regulations say…” he continued. Carr then pointed to the following regulation:

(c) Closing documentation. At the conclusion of the Special Counsel’s work, he or she shall provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel.

1. The M$M has created this frenzy. They were wrong at the end of last year

and this year as well. I’ll believe Mueller is done only when i hear from him/his team

12. The MSM is just reflecting the anxiety, expectations, hopes, and fears we all have about

the possible contents of the report. Giv'em a break. The suspense is killing all of us. It's a huge information vacuum and the MSM hates a vacuum. They''ll grow up as soon as the rest of the nation does..

2. They want everyone to...

… keep their TVs on and tuned to the all-news stations. They hope to sell cars, catheters, and magic pillows!

11. Miss the Double Your Fun ads......actually no TV! no ads

unless I go over to The Palmer Report

4. Actually, this frenzy was started

by the acting AG Matt Whittaker and then compounded by the new AG Barr.

I wonder if they were just placating Trump.

The media took their statements and ran with them. The report was supposed to come out on Feb 27.

6. It started way before that

when Ghouliani was brought in and lied with a promise it would be wrapped up by last September 1st!



And welcome to DU!
