he may have also referred matters to other federal prosecutors, like sdny.

Mueller has hours or at most a few days, not months.
That said, he has a plan. He knew this was going to happen. Im sure none of this is a surprise. When I read that Don Jr expects to be indicted soon, I figured Jr knows that he already is indicted (so does Trump Sr) which meant the game has seriously moved into critical territory.
This week is gonna be hellacious crazy
This is the chaos move because chaos buys time. Mueller will be fired by Friday. Then almost 2 months will go by before the Dems take the house. 2 months is a lifetime in today's news cycle. The dems can resume the investigation but they don't have the power to indict. Without the power to indict, the investigation is toothless. It's just laying the ground work until 2020.
The biggest problem is that the repugs lack integrity. Because of that, 45 runs unchecked. They don't care what he does.
