"From your lips to God's ears"; Brennan predicts Mueller indictments this Friday

<snip>Former CIA Director John Brennan said that, "not knowing," he would not be surprised if indictments produced by special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation were delivered this Friday. In an interview Tuesday night with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, Brennan said if a Trump family member is indicted that would signal the end of Mueller's investigation because Trump would probably fire him.

"I wouldn't be surprised if for example this week on Friday, not knowing anything about it, but Friday is the day the grand jury indictments come down and also this Friday is better than next Friday because next Friday is the 15th of March, which is the Ides of March," Brennan said. "And I don't think Robert Mueller will want to have that dramatic flair of the Ides of March when he is going to be delivering what I think are going to be are his indictments, the final indictments as well the report."<snip>

Saying "I wouldn't be surprised" and predicting something will happen are totally different things.

Brennan did not predict that this happen, he merely stated that if the indictments are near, then Friday may be the day. I thought his reference to the the Ides of March was quite amusing!

And Brennan knows any more than anyone else? Things will happen when they happen. This is just more conjecture and noise.

I don't see Mueller setting his schedule by ancient holidays, even if the media will claim it means something.
