My pet theory is that Mueller's report will consist, mostly, of dry descriptions of actions already taken and known.

My hope is that there will be a flurry of indictments just before the summary report is made available, and that these will either include dirty Donald or will spark his resignation.

My expectation is that House investigations will continue until either impeachment begins or election day 2020 overtakes us. I also expect state-level investigations to continue until criminal indictments are handed down, followed by arrests and arraignments.

The DOJ policy is not a law, it is not in the Constitution, it's a flimsy shield. Brawndo Mar 2019 #24
Right. But a flimsy shield might be all they need. PTWB Mar 2019 #25
That's true until it isn't. Consider the DOJ policy on family separations at the border Brawndo Mar 2019 #28
And if you think this DoJ will change the no-indictment policy, I have a bridge to sell you onenote Mar 2019 #72
