I believe this to be a disservice to his charge to investigate (a) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign, (b) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation, and (c) any other matters with the scope of the regulations.  

The charge, lastly, states that if the SC believes it is necessary and appropriate, he is authorized to prosecute federal crimes from the investigation.

Mueller has worked with the sword of Trump over his head threatening to cut him off at the pass, without defined Congressional protection. Progress reports to the public would have been an important safeguard.

 While it may be satisfying to put the likes of Alex van der Zwaan, George Papadopoulos and other law breakers in jail (those that did not cooperate), the public should not have to rely for its information for the past two years on talking heads interpretations of sentencing recommendations or "speaking indictments."

Americans have waited patiently, only to understand in recent weeks, that the fate of the SC report is in the hands of a Trump Attorney General--to be released to Congress or the public, in whole or in part, at his discretion. And, Barr was not coy about it being his decision. Perhaps a part of his audition for the job.  After all, Barr is likely called in to save the Republican party as he did, once before, to squelch the Iran/Contra problem.

Maybe, to find out what is in the report, or an edited report, it will require legal fights by Congress. Yes, Mueller could be called before Congress, but his testimony should not be the way to obtain the investigative information and its results.

 This a report that Congress, too, has been relying upon--essentially out-sourcing its investigation for purposes of impeachment, or not.

Neal Katyal, who says he had the privilege of drafting the special council regulations in 1999, warns that the report may, to some, be disappointing, but, really, it is a "road map" to House investigations and other prosecutors.  It is not the end, but the beginning.  Yes, but the term of Trump is four years, two of which are likely remaining.  And, if Trump is a Russian agent, that should not have taken two years. If false, and this information is now in the public realm, the country should be set straight. That we need to know, yesterday.

To me, and it appears to be in the SC charge, the heart of the investigation is the Russian attack on our electoral system and whether Trump et al were/are linked to that effort. And, disturbingly, the SC take over of the counterintelligence/national security probe of Trump, himself.  Most citizens have an answer for those questions, but need the SC to give his findings.  The political stakes are greater than the criminal ones, particularly if the target, Trump, will not be indicted.

The only "remedy, " such as it is, is impeachment.  With the GOP in solid control of the Senate, it will take powerful, public evidence to bring Donald Trump down, in the face of this seemingly overwhelming political obstacle. Two presidents have been impeached and acquitted. No one thought Nixon could fall, but when the evidence went public, even the GOP Senate crumbled. It can be done, but it's daunting.

That burden falls to Robert Mueller III.

He is a combat Marine, former FBI director, US Attorney, the man who brought down Gotti. His cv is the most impressive an attorney could ever assemble, and if his cases and his lifelong conduct are any indication, his moral compass points true north. He's tough, He knows right from wrong, he has seen combat, and he makes a Boy Scout look like a Hells Angel.

It's a good thing.  Think of the burden.

This pillar of rectitude is up against a bunch of supervillains right out of a comic book.

In the comics, the superhero is the only person on the planet who can Save The World. He must bring powers that no one else can marshal. Now that man exists, and his name is Robert Mueller III. Mueller is Superman, and Trump is Lex Luthor. (If Lex Luthor was just as evil but was fat and had major brain damage. But just as evil.)

Think of the burden.

Just from what we know publicly, every member of the Trump family is compromised and betraying our country while also looting it. Mueller knows more than we do. He has every written and recorded communication of a vast, worldwide network of international supervillains. He has their bank records and their tax returns. He has high ranking members of the conspiracy needing to win favor with him to shave years off their prison sentences.

So far, Mueller has lived up to the advance billing. He has not leaked a pencil shaving from his investigation, but he has dumped powerful evidence in filings that have accompanied multiple convictions and indictments. Despite the oft-stated threat that he could be fired at any time, he is making sure that such an event would not save anyone from him. He and his associates will not be outflanked by the team of circus performers opposing them.

If what we know makes us angry, think how angry he is. Jim Comey scored the worst "own goal" in political history, and it rightfully cost him his job, but for the wrong political reason. Now he and Mueller have to watch this buffoon shred their beloved bureau, insult them and their friends daily, ravage our country and its institution, and they have to keep everything they feel about this to themselves.

Think of the burden.

Mueller is all we have right now standing between good and evil on the planet, and whether it is six days or six months from now, he will pull the trigger. But when you strike at the king, you better not miss.

I was just listening to former FBI saying what he thought would happen is he would hand off many things to different prosecutors..  he said Muellers taste was a narrow one.  All the other stuff they found is not technically in his purview

I do not agree with the doom and gloom scenarios

FBI also said their WILL be more indictments.  Either by Mueller out the door or other prosecutors as evidence warrants

Also I stand by the idea the best outcome, as ghastly as it is, is Trump being crushed at the polls.  

Anything else is playing with fire.

Coast Guard lieutenant Christopher Paul Hasson is accused of plotting a terrorist attack as a white nationalist

I really believe if Trum is impeached there will be blood in the streets.

Seriously, let's just humiliate him.

I get it that the AG does not have to give the prez a heads up but I would bet a nickel that he will.  And as soon as Rudy gets the report he will probably get a week or so to prepare for the release.

My understanding is it is not really a report in the sense I understand.  It simply describes why someone is charged (e.g. Manafort is charged because he broke tax laws along with several other things) and to a less extent why a few peeps are not charged.

The thing is there a huge number of people who will not be charged; me for one as an example.  I also suspect there are some folks Mueller investigated for a short period of time and found a dead end.

Given a some what widely accepted assumption (with notable exceptions) that a sitting prez can not be indicted it is possible Mueller simply did not investigate him.  Not saying this is the case just a possibility.

There have been many posts on the topic of Comey's blabbing about Clinton's missteps but not bringing charges against her.  Most folks think this was a mistake that threw dirt on Clinton but did little else.
