I finally watched that Pete Williams clip from yesterday in which he discusses on MSNBC his "reporting" that Mueller will deliver a report to DOJ in the next week or two. Those who told me about it did not *also* specify that Williams clearly says, "this is just our speculation."
Pete apparently based his "reporting" on signs he personally considered persuasive, most having to do with the debunked theory that Rod Rosenstein has been empowered to decide he'll only leave DOJ when the Mueller report is done, so this is not a scheduled—and enforced—departure.
The truth: Rosenstein said at the time he began at DOJ that he'd only serve 2 years—and once the incoming AG told him he'd bring in his own team that plan was confirmed. Also, Rosenstein recommended Barr for the job—and so appears not to be afraid Barr will end the Mueller probe.
Everyone, *including Pete Williams* in yesterday's "report," agrees that the Mueller investigation is as leakproof an investigation as they've ever seen in or out of D.C. So there's no reason to think that MSNBC, or even anyone at DOJ, has special insight into Mueller's timeline.
