🔊 🔊Mueller report klaxon 🔊 🔊
Many false dawns before but could it finally drop tomorrow?
Ex-CIA director thinks so. He said on TV that last indictments + report may well be lodged on Friday.

Grand jury indictments tend to come on Fridays. Long speculated that Mueller is close to putting in report.
And as Brennan predicts, Mueller may want to avoid the Friday after next, which is the 15th - the Ides of March.

The ‘Mueller report’ is actually really two seperate reports.
The first - Mueller needs to explain his decisions to the Attorney General.
This is confidential. Likely to be short. May never be made public. (See relevant bit of rules below.)

The second - the Attorney General has to tell Congress the special counsel’s work is done.
He also needs to outline any point when he rejected a request for action from Mueller.
This could be made public. (Again key bit in rules below.)

Whatever happens, it looks unlikely to be the end of the saga.
House committees (controlled by the Democrats) could try to get the first report via subpoena. Or other raw docs. Or demand Mueller / his team testify before them.

The bigger story on the day could be the final indictments Mueller files. (Which could be his most controversial - argument being that he’ll leave the most contentious until last.)
