The "Mueller Report"

An analytical article in Wired lays out why we may not be needing an actual report to know what Mueller will be reporting, and why he may have waited for Trump's written answers to interrogatories presented by the Mueller team before filing charges against Manafort for non-cooperation contrary to his plea bargain, and before taking likely action to indict Roger Stone and Trump Junior.

I wonder whether the interrogatories and answers will be made public at some point in our lifetime.  I'd like to see them.

The article also reminds us that there have been three dozen sealed indictments filed over the past year, fourteen of which have been filed since August.  We don't know who's named in all that, or indeed if they're related to Mueller's investigation. It seems most probable they are since word was already out that Sessions would be fired after the midterms, and that left Rod Rosenstein as the person who could approve such filings until a new AG was appointed.  Mueller would want to get all his indictments on file while he had Rosenstein as a boss.  Now that they've been filed, he can pull them out whenever he's ready.  Which I hope is soon.

Read the article here.
