"Whether a request for an extension is a bad or good thing, I cannot say. But it sure would show the MSM's feeding frenzy about imminent indictments is way off the mark."
I think this is the best assessment yet.
We can't afford to have key people on the White House staff under a cloud for several more months or years. If there are indictments, they should come out now, and deal with them. An extended investigation does not serve the public in any way.
