3. I've always had my suspicions about the timing of the Mueller report.

Bill Barr confirmed as U.S. Attorney General: 2/14/19

Robert Mueller submits report to U.S. Attorney General: 3/22/19

Al little more than a month after Barr takes over as head of DOJ, Barr has the Mueller report and later issues his own statement as to his interpretation of the report. Congress has still not seen an unredacted copy of the report.

I don't usually promote conspiracy theories, but something just doesn't seem right about this.

Trump had a mole in Mueller's team. I have no proof, other than Trump seemed to know before everyone else when the Manafort and Flynn deals were collapsing.

Hard to get physical evidence or turn witnesses when you know where the prosecution is looking and can cut you off.

That Mueller would be on guard against revealing too much info to those two traitors.

I was thinking more along the line of someone on his legal team or the support staff.
