(58,785 posts)nothing "leaks" from Mueller's team. Investigative journalism has had almost a rebirth, but it's amusing each they get all excited on learning about something that occurred months before. They're amazed they didn't somehow find out.
I've suspected that deliberate covert releases and announcements are also used as weapons to knock back Republican attacks and/or to create a more secure position to defend. Announcing criminal indictments against those 13 Russians informed the nation that Russian crimes against our nation had been established, both moving the investigation to a new stage and defeating a major attacdk. This came when Republicans, Fox, RW media, etc., had launched a major offensive designed to convince people the FBI was corruption and the investigation was phony and needed to be shut down.
