[Vanity] Why Did Mueller Choose Now to Finish Investigation?
vanity | 19 April 2019 | Vanity Self

Posted on 04/19/2019 11:49:06 AM PDT by mbarker12474

Given these assumptions:

1. Mueller and his team are smart enough to know there was never any collusion of Trump with Russia...

2. Mueller's fundamental purpose was to run a lengthy (but baseless) investigation which would provide fodder for news and commentary reporting on a continuous basis. A running source of (phony) material for Dems and Trump haters.

3. While there was never any expectation to find collusion with Russia, the powers inherent to the investigation team might lead to criminal charges in other unrelated matters, which would be politically useful for Dems, Progs, etc.

So WHY did Mueller end his investigation now? Why didn't he continue until the end of the Trump presidency? Is he simply personally tired? Want to do some other personal thing? Is he frightened somehow of something..... I see no reason for him to finish up the investigation, given the real purpose of the investigation was to generate continuous political churn.

He ended his investigation because of two words: William Barr.

Yup. Barr isn’t recused and he told Mueller to stop fishing and put up what he’s got.

I agree. I think Barr told him that the department was getting further damaged and it’s time to wrap up if there was no sign of finding anything. Barr seems solidly committed to fixing what’s broken.

I think the new AG asked him for his report.
Mueller would have dragged it out for as long as he could.

Because the DemonRats STOLE THE HOUSE and Mueller could now hand-off TRUMP HARASSMENT THROUGH 2020 to the DemonRats in the House (Congress). This is why he PUNTED on the ‘obstruction of justice’ allegation, TO KEEP THE TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME ALIVE AND WELL FOR THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

He was told “You milked the taxpayers enough Bob.” “You haven’t found anything and this is to cover-up something else.” Bob can’t protect all his friends anymore.

I believe the fake but accurate investigation was wrapped up long ago. Barr just told Mueller to put up or shut down.

What do you do if you’re Mueller and after 2 years you have nothing? Release exactly between election cycles to have caused maximum disruption and to not give Trump a campaign bounce.

He investigated long enough to help the Democrats in the midterms. Once they had the House, his work was finished and they could take up the job of keeping the “investigation into collusion” in the news from there. He waited a few months so as to not make it too obvious.

Mueller knew there was no collusion within the 1st month of his investigation but kept ‘investigating’ in hope’s that Trump would do something he could cite as obstruction. That’s the reason for the leaks about indicting his son and for the outrageous pre-dawn raids on Manifort and Roger Stone. He was daring Trump to try and stop him. Trump wanted to but he didn’t take the bait.

Huber and his whole crew are currently sitting on a beach in Tahiti, sipping cocktails and getting paid to pretend to be doing something. They won’t produce anything of substance.

I think a deal was offered and accepted.

Answer: William Barr (essentially) told him to wrap it up.

Yes? Anything else?

After Sessions was fired, just before Whittaker took over, Mueller’s Weissman sent over indictments of the President’s children. That was a mistake.

Barr pulled those indictments and ostensibly showed Mueller the goods on Weissman. Weissman stepped down immediately.

Then Mueller was ordered to make the report or else.

Mueller was heavily involved in Uranium 1. It’s also come out today he relied on the hidden Rosenstein scope memo that directed his actions based on the garbage dossier. He was also obviously made aware of the FISA corruption.

Mueller is in deep Schiff. He very likely will do jail time unless he has a plea deal.
