  1. A good prosecutor doesn’t file charges if he doesn’t have the facts assembled to go to court. All signs are that Mueller is not a good prosecutor.

  2. It is tragic that the central premise for the investigation will not be resolved. There was no Trump/Russia collusion to spread memes on Twitter and FaceBook, to hack the DNC, or run a phishing op on Podesta.

    The Mueller investigation has been focusing on propagators of memes and has ignored the hacking/phishing when it bothers to look at Russia at all.

    Even though Hillary and the DNC employed the Russians and other foreign governments in the campaign, we could set that aside and look at Russian meddling on social media and through funding/organizing activist groups during the election but we wont even get that.

    It is like the investigation is designed to perpetuate the collusion claim without giving any evidence to support it and also without any investigation of Russian meddling.

  3. The WaPo article that Mr. Lifson quotes and bases his article on says that this is a sign Mr. Mueller is looking to wrap up his investigations and wishes to pass off those prosecutions likely to outlive the Special Council’s office.

    1. IMO the only prosecution that will outlive the Mueller team will be the one(s) against Manafort and associates. I expect a pardon will come down for Gen. Flynn, probably right after the mid-terms. There may have been some real criminality here. But not collusion. Bank fraud, failing to register as a foreign agent etc. White collar crimes likely to get stiff fine(s) and just a handful of years in prison likely to be paroled after 1 or 2 years or out thanks to time served.

      As for the Russian “companies” involved in the so-called indictments, Mueller’s team is already slow-walking them to avoid discovery and the hand-off is likely to bury them for good. Same goes of the oligarch indictments, which are totally unenforceable because Russia won’t extradite anyone charged. These will stay on the books as leverage for a future deal with Russia. Whereupon you will read in the newspapers of the future a phrase like.. “in exchange for the return of so-and-so Russian accused spy, indictments of Messrs. accused in the Mueller probe in 2017 were dropped.

      Once again, prosecution is for the little people…

  4. LoL
    No one wants to show how the sausage was made….

    But the narrative is moving fast to immigrant families living in concentration camps. Mueller et al is yesterday’s news….
