Feeling sick today because the biggest takeaway I got from the Flynn sentencing memo

[Goodheart]

is that this Mueller investigation is nowhere close to its conclusion.

1. I think you are reading too much into it.

2. I think Isikoff mislead people with his piece, which he said

was based on defense sources. Defense sources have been saying for more than a year that they expected the investigation to be over very soon, and every time the media gets suckered into reporting it.

But we know that Rick Gates is still cooperating, and that Butina is still negotiating, and that Corsi and Stone are still out there, and they both probably have more evidence to give against the Trumps. So what is still to come seems a lot more than "loose ends" to me.

4. Isikoff completely discredited himself.

3. I'm with most of the pundits, who are concluding he's nearing completion.

Also they are seeing evidence in the big redacted "3rd investigation" block that Mueller has spawned new investigations to multiple external entities. That's his exit strategy. Tangle Trump up in so many investigations from so many jurisdictions that he will have no hope of escape.

5. It's actually not a bad thing to come to terms with the fact that the investigation might take

awhile, because it reinforces the understanding that relying on Mueller to "fix everything" is a fool's game. We can't ever "go back" to whatever "normal" may be. This will take a lot of work over time to mitigate. Best prepare now!

6. No it is called collecting evidence.

Takes time when the ass keeps breaking the law.

7. My fantasy:

In one fell swoop, Mueller is going to take down the entire GOP leadership after the new Congress is seated. Our first woman president will be Speaker Pelosi.

Okay, so it's a long shot, but a girl can dream. You should too. At least for a few minutes.

8. Why is that bad? I just want indictments soon. Who needs the report soon?

I'd rather the report wait until Dems have the House and the Whitaker situation is resolved.

Isikoff really beclowned himself this week.
