1/ Mueller confirms what some of us predicted at the start, that George Papadopoulos won't offer up a smoking gun (or anything, really). According to Mueller, GP "did not provide 'substantial assistance,'" & whatever he gave, the FBI mostly already had: 
2/ Not entirely, however: Mueller also confirms it was GP who volunteered info on Professor Mifsud, the supposed Kremlin intermediary (whom Mueller doesn't actually say is a confirmed Kremlin agent). And as some have pointed out, it appears GP only misled agents about *timing*:
3/ Mueller confirms FBI interviewed Mifsud but strangely blames GP for undermining FBI's ability to properly "challenge" him "or potentially detain or arrest him." Say what? GP volunteered info on Mifsud months into your probe & it's his fault you can't challenge or detain him?
4/ in sum, #MuellerTime not looking so good:
- George P, aide who supposedly sparked Trump-Russia conspiracy probe, has given Mueller nothing to use
- GP informed FBI of supposed Kremlin cutout, Mifsud
- FBI interviewed Mifsud in DC - & now blames GP for them not arresting him!
