Is there an actual reason why the media is assuming the imminent release of the Mueller report?

I mean, did someone let something slip while talking over cocktails?

I haven't really heard any explanation for why this is assumed to be.

I'm not saying it couldn't be true, but rather, I'm saying that I have not heard any rationale for this.

journalist rushes to claim the scoop.

Trumpers are trying to pressure Mueller to end the investigation sooner rather than later.

On Twitter Seth Abramson lays out clearly and repeatedly the clear evidence that Mueller is not done.

As we anticipate the end of Mueller, signs of a wind-down:
-SCO prosecutors bringing family into the office for visits
-Staff carrying out boxes
-Manafort sentenced, top prosecutor leaving
-office of 16 attys down to 10
-DC US Atty stepping up in cases
-grand jury not seen in 2mo

Link to tweet

Mueller report does not seem imminent because 1 redactions in Cohen search warrants allowed for 60 more days, 2 update on Gates’s sentencing delayed 60 days, 3 pending GJ battles with Stone associate Andrew Miller and unknown co. and 4 reports that Rosenstein will stay longer.
