which was even more important than his criminal investigation.
It just hit me that that might be why he's still working there.
The report that's already been released, Volumes 1 and 2, is a report of a criminal investigation.
It isn't a report of a counter-intelligence investigation, but Mueller was working on that, too. Apparently Schiff expected to see it by now -- and hence, today's subpoena.

FBI expected to brief House and Senate 'Gang of 8' on Mueller's counterintel findings
WASHINGTON Two senior U.S. officials told NBC News on Monday that the FBI is prepared to brief congressional leaders on the counterintelligence findings of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
The FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump, and the letter sent to Congress on Sunday by Attorney General William Barr about the Mueller probe is silent on the question of whether investigators found that Trump or anyone around him might be compromised or influenced by Russia.
The officials said they expect the FBI to brief the so-called Gang of 8 the leaders of the House and the Senate and the chairmen and ranking members of the intelligence committees in closed session.
No briefing has been scheduled, a third U.S. official familiar with the matter said, but one of the officials said it could happen within the next 30 to 60 days.

(8,368 posts)who is a former counterintelligence agent. Former Republican, hates Trump. He said that counterintelligence investigations take years and years, and he thinks Trump, three of his children, and some close associates will end up in jail. Not due to obstruction of justice or collusion, but money laundering or tax evasion, just like they finally got Al Capone.

They actually had evidence but the trouble was getting some of the insiders (Chump employees) to testify to what they were doing. Chump had all of his employees sign NDAs even back in those days, and those NDAs must be expiring now or soon. I've read Wayne Barrett's and David Cay Johnston's books and I'm pretty sure one or both of those guys made the same prediction. Chump & kids will end up in jail, and it will be money-laundering or tax evasion.
