Mueller's team has begun writing a final report (CNN)




The Day After Sessions Resigned, Sources Say Robert Mueller Has Begun Writing the Russia Report

Jeff Sessions resigned as U.S. Attorney General at the request of President Donald Trump and Sessions’ former chief of staff Matthew Whitaker was named as the Acting Attorney General. Whitaker’s past comments saying that special counsel Robert Mueller‘s Russia Probe may have gone too far has been front and center in the reaction to this news.

On the heels of this, CNN is reporting that the special counsel has begun writing the final report. This is the much-anticipated finishing touch on Mueller’s Russia Investigation mandate.

Per CNN:

But Trump’s legal team and other lawyers representing witnesses in the investigation expect that the President’s responses to Mueller could be one of the final pieces of the 18-month-long probe before the investigators present a report on their findings. Mueller’s team has begun writing its final report, multiple sources told CNN.

Though, in retrospect, this is much worse criminally.

While the special prosecutor's office was terribly disrupted when Nixon fired Cox, it kept on (the young staffers like Jill Wine-Banks and Nick Ackerman that you see on TV now, even smuggled documents out to preserve them). And very important in discovering information and keeping the heat on was the Senate committee.

We haven't been able to have the Congressional oversight with sub poena power. Now we do.

Can one of the House committees require the report and release it and hold hearings about it?

Before the GOP squawks, let's remind them of the Starr report, which took years and many millions to create, resulted in no criminal actions, and only a failed impeachment, was released to the public, full of salacious detail, some of it contributed by "I Like Beer" Kavanaugh.

Mueller's report will no doubt be more restrained, but far more damning.
