9. Journalists seldom name their sources.

Even "someone who's familiar with the Mueller investigation" would be too vague for print, and besides, no one connected with the Mueller investigation tips off reporters (or at least would never be referred to as a "deep background" tipster).

Mueller runs a very tight ship. Leaks are not tolerated, unlike the Trump administration.
