(1 of 2) CNN's story noting Mueller is writing his final report is confusing a lot of people. Remember that Mueller is investigating at least two discrete issues (likely more): collusion and obstruction. They're connected but also distinct topics. And investigators sometimes...

(PS) Anyone who pretends to know what's happening in Mueller's largely leak-free probe is dissembling, so I'm not saying I know Mueller is/isn't close to done with his report—though I'll say the evidence indicates he's *not*. The key thing is not *over-interpreting* CNN's report.
(NOTE) I say it's *unlikely* Mueller is almost done with his report because the report can't be properly written until all indictments play out—and we've many more to go—and all cooperating witnesses are debriefed, and Mueller is in the midst of *massive* Cohen/Manafort debriefs.
