We don't know what's already under seal, we don't know what's been farmed out to other offices

And we don't know what's in the report. Mueller's team may well have concluded that action against the biggest fish would only succeed if it were the result of public demand rather than confidential prosecutorial decisions which would be automatically condemned by half the country as "political bias" and likely pardoned away. At the end of the day, getting the truth out to the American people is the most important task.

People need to take a breath and relax.

Despite the claims of some (Louise Mensch for example)that there are dozens of sealed indictments (and have been since before Mueller was appointed).

Although the possibility of one or more sealed indictments is real. And personally, I wouldn't even completely discount the possibility that Mueller and Rosenstein indicted Trump himself in order to halt the SoL.

What we *do* know is that there have been referrals to other offices, and that Mueller's witnesses will be testifying in other investigations.
