Special counsel Robert Mueller is preparing to deliver his findings on major points in the Russia probe, like any collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign or any obstruction of justice by the President himself, shortly after the midterms, according to a Wednesday Bloomberg report.

This does not necessarily mean that Mueller’s findings will be made public, as he can reportedly only share his conclusions with Deputy Attorney Rod Rosenstein, who has some discretion about what details to share with Congress and the public.

The special counsel is facing pressure from all sides to either produce more indictments or shut down the investigation.

Per Bloomberg, the next three weeks will likely be quiet on the Russia front, since Mueller would be hesitant to drop any news that could affect the midterm elections. Nevertheless, the largely leak-proof investigation may be working on major developments behind the scenes, and new discoveries could keep the investigation going even after the likely post-midterm revelations.

  1. Oh God, oh please, oh please God, please, please, pleasepleasepleaseplease God, let it leak before 11/3 so we can all get a full dose of the Good Ol’ Putin coverup.

    You know, I can’t believe I’m actually pleading for evidence of Russian interference in an American election. It feels unpatriotic, but son of a bitch not nearly as unpatriotic as the bastards who did it.

  2. Frankly, I am readying myself for the Big Cover up.

  3. Mueller’s report should be leaked by patriots as soon as it’s issued. Otherwise, the Trump regime will seek to bury it.

  4. Hah! This should enhance the shitgibbonry over the next few weeks, as Drumpf stews over the outcome of the mid-terms and the possibility that Meuller will leave a GIANT flaming bag of dogshit on the WH doorstep. (Rubs hands in gleeful anticipation.)

  5. I’ve been preparing to find out that Trump was surrounded by corrupt and traitorous imbeciles who were smart enough not to get him, the Lord King Emperor of Imbeciles, involved. And that’s still what my money is on.
