Special counsel Robert Mueller is nearly done with his investigation into whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice but may wait to publicize his findings until he has completed other parts of the Russia probe, Bloomberg News reported on Monday.
Bloomberg News reported, citing unnamed current and former U.S. officials, that Mueller could finish the obstruction portion of the investigation once he has interviewed key officials like the President and his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
Trump’s lawyers have been in discussions with the special counsel’s team about the possibility of an interview for weeks, but it’s not clear when one might take place or what form it would take.
Mueller has so far brought charges against former Trump aides Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, though those indictments did not stem from their activity on Trump’s campaign. He has also indicted several Russians for election meddling and secured a few plea agreements, but has yet to bring any charges related to the collusion aspect of the investigation.
Mueller may hold off on revealing his findings on obstruction so that the results don’t prompt Trump to attempt to shut down the special counsel investigation or fuel other pressure for Mueller to end the probe, as Bloomberg News noted.

No need to report on obstruction until the rest of the investigation is complete. Plus, you know Donny Dotard will just continue to add new facts to the obstruction case.
Shorter Mueller…
“I have the easy stuff to prove, Clear open Obstruction, ready. Dont f*ck with me while I get folks on collusion too”
Yep Mueller has all he needs on the obstruction that has taken place, so far…
The reason this is almost done is because Trump’s actions were clear obstruction of justice to anyone with even a scintilla of objectivity.
That said, please do issue the report all at once, as the Russian money laundering and influence and election interference, and subsequent obstruction of justice, all grew out of the same evil plot to destroy America.
Aided and abetted, of course, by the current President of the United States.
He’s only halfway through peeling the onion dome…
