Important remark by NYT reporter re. Indictments

[RandySF]

Mueller and his team will not issue any indictments and is leaving it up to other prosecutors to decide what to do next. Per the NYT Daily Podcast.

1. Mueller was an expensive bust

2. How so?

7. You are earning every penny, lancelyons!

8. You called it an expensive bust. How so?

10. It's fairly clear that the investigation was very expensive.

Yet we won’t have changed any election policies. No voting booth changes. No cyber war fare changes. Wake up. The 2020 election can and might happen the same way.

11. Mueller investigation MADE money for govt coffers. Why peddle a RW talking point

that the Mueller investigation was a waste of money? Mueller FOUND lots of evidence of crimes. He sent it to US Attorneys in relevant jurisdictions who are not bound by the restrictions that were placed on him.

6. Don't ask ...

.. because he doesn't know. He's just spreading this all over DU - and we can only speculate as to why.

3. Enough, dude. nt

4. He did his job

13. Several people have been charged

with crimes as a result of his work.

9. Mueller will follow through on his cases to completion

... however he won't start any new cases at this point. There are other federal prosecutors who will pick up the ball, we don't need to worry about it. Robert Mueller is almost 75 years old, and he must be thinking about winding down and retiring soon. Can you blame the guy? I can't. He's spent most of his adult life working for Uncle Sam in one way or another. He deserves a peaceful retirement and spending time with his grandchildren.

Seth Abramson also explains this on his rolled out tweet on another thread. Please see this DU post from earlier this afternoon: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=11943219

12. Still trials on the indictments and the moron Stone....

I imagine he'll be around cleaning up the crumbs for a while.
