Why did Mueller release his report and terminate his investigation now?

Good question- he was funded to September of 2019.

Speaking of NY, the Southern District’s investigations are still alive and both Manhattan DA and State AG have promised investgations. As Yogi would say”It aint over till it’s over” And the Lefty progs won’t let it be over.

There's another angle to this that I mentioned as an outlandish possibility way back in the summer of 2017.

James Comey said something in his June 2017 testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee that didn't get much attention ... but I thought it was the most remarkable thing the guy said about Trump in any public statement.

He described his infamous dinner meeting with Trump back in January 2017 when he assured Trump that he (Trump) wasn't under investigation. According to Comey, Trump said something to this effect: "I'm tempted to order you to conduct an investigation against me, just to prove my innocence."

Comey convinced Trump that it wouldn't be a good idea to do that -- simply because it would give the wrong message about the President of the United States.

I think Trump never let go of that idea ... and when Mueller was appointed as special counsel in May of 2017 -- one day after meeting with Trump in the White House -- I speculated that this whole charade may have been Trump's way of getting that investigation done.

Why wasn’t it all ended sooner?

He was told to ‘shut it down’ because he came up with nothing, and if he continued doing any more, then it would be obvious that he was trying to create something out of nothing.

Sessions was either highly traitorous, or highly stupid.

Or -- as I said at the time -- faced with a blatant conflict of interest.

Go back and look at all the information that began to come out in early 2017 about the illicit surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016. Sessions didn't do anything wrong during the campaign, but he could not be involved in any oversight of an investigation because he knew damn well that HE had been a target of FBI/CIA surveillance.

I think you are right.Next up, continue the charade for 2020 election.

Let’s not forget NY AG going after Trumnp Foundatin, his kids, his taxes. This is far from over.

Why keep on running the circus when you have much better clowns putting up their own acts?

That was a highly misleading bit of information. The Federal fiscal year runs from October 1st to September 30th ... so Mueller's investigation was simply funded within the current (2019) fiscal year.

Saw Donna on FOX while watching some of this stuff today. She was on her moral high horse. Made me want to vomit. I can’t believe they hired her after what she did. I can’t watch her.

Bill Barr had Bob over for a little one-on-one chat that went, “End it Bob. Tomorrow.”

Fox hires Brazille and has Pirro sit out the last two weeks.
Who cares what Brazille has to say, but it would be nice to hear Pirro’s take on Mueller’s move.

This is the New York State AG:

If this oversized zoo animal takes any legal action against Trump, his family or his company, I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that Trump might win every state between the Delaware River and the Sierra Nevada Mountains in 2020.

Seeing her makes it time to turn the channel. Too bad Pirro is not around for comment today.

Hey, is that movie on YouTube? I love a good 50’s, sci-fi schlock B-movie after a few beers in the evening.........(But Peter will never top his brother James Arness after he performed in ‘The Thing’. Classic.)

I agree with you I think Barr has put a stop to this nonsense unlike the previous AG who let Rosenstein run it all.
