I posted this about three weeks ago, but given the news of the last couple of days, it bears repeating:
Many of us are worried that Mueller's upcoming report will not be made public. I worry about that to some degree, but my worry is greatly mitigated by the reality that anything Mueller wants made public can be included in any indictments of the others who are involved.
Remember in Cohen's indictment that it was made public that Cohen was acting at the behest of Trump while committing some of the crimes. Also remember all of the previously unknown information we now know due to other indictments and court filings.
So....ANY illegal actions by Trump can be highlighted in indictments of his fellow conspirators. Therefore, it won't matter if a Trump sycophant in a position of power in the DOJ wants the report kept from public view. Mueller can expose everything when he indicts others.
As for whether any indictments Mueller wants to hand down can in fact be filed.....just like anybody with an IQ over 70, Mueller and Rosenstein have known since the beginning that it was highly likely that they'd be removed or that the investigation would be impeded. Those two legal heavyweights have been ready for any obstructive actions Trump and crew may take. I am confident that they have a fail-safe plan in place to obstruct the obstruction.
For example, there may already be sealed indictments, along with a strategy made in concert with the presiding judges to almost instantly unseal them if certain actions taken against Mueller and Rosenstein were to occur (and let us remember that sealed indictments cannot be obviated after the fact). Alternatively, there may be an arrangement for indictments to be handed down by DOJ officials designated by Rosenstein and Mueller to do so under similar circumstances.
Rosenstein and Mueller are ready. I am confident that they have taken protective steps, and that the truth will definitely be exposed, which will set us free!

(51,648 posts)I forget whether it was on MSNBC or CNN, but the guest said that through the indictments, Mueller will be telling a "story". The indictments themselves, which are most likely sealed and in a safe place, will do just as you said. We will learn a lot through them and Whitaker can't do anything about that.

(51,648 posts)I was tired after attending the Nobody Is Above The Law protest and forgot who said it. It made me feel better. I am glad you wrote this today...we need to keep it in mind when we are feeling down and out.
We will prevail...we won the midterms and we will see the fake prez go down, with or without Whitaker.
