This time was a little different. CNN seemed to fall hook, line an sinker, which caused many other networks to follow suit.

It was one way to placate him. Just imagine how difficult it is to be around such a toxic person.

So did I, but not on DU. Take my word for it, or not. I told everyone in RL who would listen that we've heard this before, many times. It may or may not be true THIS time, but keep in mind that it's at least an even bet that it's false.

My friends were freaking out; I did try to calm them down!

So individuals / perpetrators / subject of investigations....... Any number of them.... Someone was probably refusing to cooperate...so then it leaks hey we're going to 'drop this thing right now how about that'...and individuals and questions panic and finally give in and they move forward without releasing the report....

Any chance that's what what went on here?

A more likely scenario has been posted above... that someone (Barr) was trying to placate Trump. They use this repetitive story like a binky for the Orange Baby.

Over when Mueller says so. The OP was making no prediction.
But, since "news" didn't come from Mueller, the OP said they knew it was bogus.
Not that hard to have avoided posting a "gotcha" question.

He said it would not end next week. So it is reasonable to ask when he does think it will end. Also no one knows where or what the source of the "report coming next week" or the "report not coming next week". So no one can say it did or did not come from Mueller's staff.

29. I Predict an Invasion of Venezuela When Mueller Report Comes Out

I predict an invasion of Venezuela carefully timed right after the Mueller Report is released. Trump needs a big distraction, hence also the North Korea Sumit over nothing.

But they found something hotter, and closer to home, Venezuela. It would be near impossible to invade N Korea, as China would no doubt step in. Plus the sticky problem of their nukes being used. So a splashy hollow summit would be the most they could do. But Venezuela just kind of fell into their lap. As Ron Burgundy said, "that escalated quickly". An invasion is more possible in that country. And they now have the fascist ally in Brazil now who would no doubt let them use their landing strips. Hence the reason Bolton is pivoting from N Korea to Venezuela.
