Robert Mueller Ready to Announce if Trump Campaign Colluded With Russia: Report (after the election)
Daily Beast ^ | 10/17/18

Posted on 10/17/2018 2:26:02 AM PDT by Libloather

Special counsel Robert Mueller is “ready to deliver the key findings” of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to Bloomberg News. Two unnamed U.S. officials said Mueller will divulge what he’s found shortly after the November midterm elections as he faces growing pressure to produce more indictments or shut down his investigation. The announcements will reportedly focus on the two key planks of the investigation: whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, and whether Trump himself took any actions that constitute obstruction of justice. However, Mueller’s findings won’t necessarily be made public if he doesn’t secure unsealed indictments. He can present his findings only to his boss, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

“The Trump campaign attempted to collude and might have succeeded but the hard evidence needed to prove it is either not available or inconclusive.”

You may have coined and already stolen Muellar's so called payoff line for the final report. Good work!

If Mueller could take down Trump or at least cause a huge shift in public opinion against him, do you think he would have used/leaked something from it before allowing the Kavanaugh confirmation? All the barking moonbats in the world must have been demanding it.

Why wait till after the election. Comey had no problem exonerating Hitlery before the election. Right now, this BS is a head wind with some of the low IQ voters. This investigation is now shown to be nothing but a lefty smear job.

If the Dems take the house then he will say there was collusion. If they don’t, he will say otherwise.

It appears that Muelller’s pitbull Weissman is implicated in the Bruce Ohr

Announced after the election, leaked / propagandized by the entire dispersion arms of their machine immediately before.

What good is an Oct surprise in mid Nov?

He’s waiting to see who gets control of Congress.

If Democrats, then he will word his report to serve as a vehicle for impeachment.

If Republicans retain control, then he has to worry about being investigated himself, and will try to make a deal which allows him and his crew to slink off with their fat legal fees.

Exactly! If they had anything the report would be released before the election.

He's already interfered with the election, regardless of what he says in November. Mueller is trying to channel James Comey.

At this point Trump can release this information only after replacing Sessions and secondly to reduce the numbers of elected corrupted democrat officials by arrest and replacement.

"Rosenstein’s involvement in the coup has legally compromised anything Mueller might grasp on the way down"

Whoever decided to blow Rod's cover on Sept. 21 (and if it was genuinely McCabe, that would be the sweetest irony EVER) was the exact moment the MSM almost entirely gave up on #Mueller, if anyone had not noticed.

How will it be obstruction if Trump releases the information before the election? The unredacted documents stand by themselves. They will show that the entire Russian collusion narrative was manufactured. The Mueller investigation is built on lies. There was no crime to justify the appointment of a Special Counsel. The original FBI investigation of Trump was a counterintelligence investigation.

The real question is why hasn’t President Trump released the unredacted documents now? Why did he involve the DOJ IG in the process? I see no downside in releasing the documents before the midterms.

I can only speculate that Rosenstein has given Trump some assurances that the Mueller report will exonerate him and that releasing the documents before the report is released will make it appear that Trump influenced Mueller to produce a report favorable to Trump.

My guess is for $27 million, no clear proof of collusion or obstruction of justice has been established.

Whether Mueller’s recommendations or lack of them - go anywhere will depend on who ultimately controls the House after next month.

"...Two unnamed U.S. officials....."

Sounds like a leak that needs to be fixed by removing a couple of faulty parts.

I agree that he can’t give a clean not guilty because then everyone would know it was a set up......it will be the Russians did help trump but we could not conclusively find evidence that trump knew about it

Someone will “leak” that Mueller indeed did find collusion, about a week before the election. They will do this with absolutely no knowledge of what the actual probe says, but the MSM will run hard with it for that whole week.

So Mueller is interfering with the 2018 elections?
