A person familiar with the matter tells me Special Counsel Mueller will deliver a “substantial” statement at 11 a.m. today, and the statement is NOT a response to reporting about claims in Michael Wolff’s soon-to-be released book.

1. hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Has Barr gotten to him? t-rump ain't tweeting yet about Mueller committing treason yet.

Finger's crossed.

2. K&R nt

[onenote]

3. Announcing he is ending service as special counsel?

Thanking others for service. Encouraging vigilance against future election interference. He’s not taking questions.

[RandiFan1290]

4. That would be good to hear. nt

[onenote]

5. Just my guess.

[onenote]

17. Nailed it.

[Hoyt]

6. Here's hoping Mueller doesn't beat around the bush and wimp out and give trump more cover.

[itsrobert]

7. Mueller the wolf in sheep clothing

Guarding the hen house while the left admires his wool coat as it is pulled over their eyes.

8. Let us all hope that

Bill "Low" Barr or other tRump lawyers did not edit this statement. We need the TRUTH. Sick of having the gop cover for the low class, uneducated, moron in the WH.

[LenaBaby61]

29. 'Bill "Low" Barr.'

I 💖 this 👆🏻👆🏻

And it's SO true

As for Mueller, not looking for a bombshell or breaking news because he STILL works for "Low" Barr & the Big, orange, human anus installed in the White House..

9. I don't expect anything outside the lines of the SCO report,

if that. It might be to refute the story in The Guardian about the draft indictment, though.

If Nadler wants a lead-off witness, he should subpoena Andrew Weissman, who has retired from DoJ, and is now a private citizen not under the control of DoJ or the WH. Weissman can give all the same info as Mueller without all the drama.

14. Maybe not to refute the Guardian story

but to confirm it. The Guardian let a couple of cats out of the bag, and Mueller must know that there's no way of getting them back in the bag (you know how hard it is to catch and herd them!!!).

Fingers crossed, anyway.

10. Lest we forget

They are all Republican.

[ananda]

11. He's ending his role as Special Counsel.

[ancianita]

12. That's my guess, and it's probably the most reasonable guess. It opens him up to work with the House

[Honeycombe8]

13. Hmmmmm. A mystery, and a surprise. I hope not in lieu of testimony before Congress.

Hopefully, it's to put to rest Trump/Barr's "investigation" into the investigation on the Russian interference. If that's it, Mueller is partially to blame. He had fair notice what the country is dealing with in Trump.

[Honeycombe8]

16. Yep. I think he's telling America that he won't be testifying. The report speaks for itself. nt

[ancianita]

15. ARI! I'm glad Ari's the host of the summary and analyses. I love Ari Melber.

18. A nothing burger, loves Barr, hates congress, said bye bye. nt

[kpete]

19. sorry, you are wrong

Robert Mueller: "As set forth in the report, after that investigation, if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so."

21. looks like the same ol rehashed nothing burger to me

thats been repeated a hundred times "if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so."

[LanternWaste]

22. It looks that way to you only because you want it to.

Clearly you would have provided us with something to support your sentiment were it otherwise.

[yaesu]

23. My sentiments exactly

Clearly he would have provided us with something to support his sentiment were it otherwise.

[dustyscamp]

20. I feel bad for the guys at The_Mueller subreddit. Trumpanzees are going to trash it hard

[olegramps]

24. Muelller did not tell ua a damn thing, except he paved the way for stonewalling.

The so-called policy of not indicting a sitting president should be tested in court. It effectively places a person above the law and makes the judgement of a crime a political question in which in this case the jury is rigged. Is this justice? Personally I never expected more.
The DOJ top is dominated by Republicans. Just who hell does think Mueller think he is? He won't take any questions from the press of the congress. So much for transparency. The damn Republicans will be the death of the nation.

[yaesu]

27. Exactly!!! and so many here are believing the MSM circus that this is some kind of great revelation

[ScratchCat]

28. Its 100% confirmation

That the only reason Trump wasn't indicted is because he is President.

How on earth people heard or read Mueller's remarks as anything other than completely throwing Trump under the bus is beyond me.

He hit on all points: 1)the investigation was legal and proper based upon DOJ policy; 2)Russia - at the direction of Putin - hacked the DNC server to hurt Clinton; 3)DOJ policy/OLC memo kept him from indicting Trump; 4) Trump is not "exhonerated". 5)The Constitution prescribes a remedy for a criminal President.

25. So Mueller is telling Congress that he did his job, they got the redacted report so they need to get

their ass in gear & he thinks Barr is the second coming. Cool speech dude.

[Baclava]

26. Mueller just passed the ball to Congress! IMPEEEEEACH!!!!

Do it!!!!!!
