TPM - Marshall re Mueller - Josh asked if "the fix is in" and Barr is shutting Mueller down.

I don't have a TPM prime membership, but there is a reasonable excerpt here

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/ - left column article.


We have now heard about as reliably as we have to date that Bob Mueller’s Russia probe is ending very soon, as early as next week, and that he will then be filing his report to the new Attorney General. Bill Barr will then, at some point, release a ‘summary’ of those findings to Congress and presumably to the public. So, is the fix in? Is this somehow being shut down? Did Bill Barr, who only became AG last Thursday, shut this down on Trump’s behalf?

A lot of this doesn’t compute to me for reasons I’ll explain below. But I wanted to run through what I think are the key questions we should be asking and the range of possibilities we should see as possible explanations for this news.


that's as far as I can read - if anyone does have TPM PRime, I'd love to know Marshall's reasoning on this. I am also very surprised that such a huge multi thread investigation could possibly be coming to and end....very concerned about this.

Not to sound like a concern troll, but it just doesn't seem coincidental.

Dumpy will scream "NO COLLUSION!!!", claim victory, and say it was all a hoax. I can't believe he will face any retribution.
