Unfortunately, I think you’re right. But I also think that the longer he keeps this going, the more dirt is going to come out about levels of corruption and real collusion between the FBI, DOJ, the Dem’s and their donors, that would/could/should do irreparable harm to those very same institutions and show that many of these folks should be in prison.
Now toss in the Manafort case and the case against the 13 Russians. It doesn’t take a guy like Turley to conclude that Mueller thought they were going to either roll over, take a plea, or never come back to the US, to fight these charges. Which are flimsy at best. For a guy like Manafort, he’s got money, knows the DC game, probably has as much dirt on everyone in DC as anyone. All he’s doing is saving those aces for later on in the game.
Then, add to the mix, the case against Gen Flynn. If you’re such a badass, why are you, the Special Counsel, asking for more delays in sentencing a guy that the FBI said, didn’t lie and you hid exculpatory evidence from? Because you know that is going to blow up in your face as well. And, when all is said and done, Mueller will try to blame it all on Strzok, McCabe, Page and Comey, to protect his own corrupt reputation.
Every lawyer in his group should be getting investigated to decide on disbarment.
With as many investigaters on this case who’ve left with a cloud of shame over their name, it’s only fitting that they did their abuse in service of Hillary Clinton who was kicked off the Watergate investigation for abuses of power.
