Special counsel Robert Mueller on Friday wrapped up his nearly two-year investigation into Donald Trump and Russia and sent his report to Attorney General Barr.
No details of Mueller's findings have been released, but Barr said he may be able to brief congressional leaders on the report as soon as this weekend.

It seems like this would only entail the obstruction angle, since Gates and Flynn are still cooperating in other investigations. Plus, the Stone trial is later this year.
-
Finally.
-
Trump was frogmarched out of the White house and taken to a secure location?
-
I'm surprised. I was expecting to not release until closer to the election.

I'm sure its loaded with enough unsupported suppositions and implications to last the media through the next year or two.

This will last long enough for the Rats and the Rat media to insist there's a "there" there, and needs more investigation (by them of course).
-
Mueller is not recommending any more indictments.
Democrat-socialists on suicide watch.

That what I saw on TeeVee. There will be supposition by the Rats they are there, but Trump's hiding them from us. Then they will continue their Impeachment driven investigations.
Move over, Q.

No indictments for Trump, Donald Jr or Jared?
This is like taking a Cialis, then finding out your date just cancelled.

KABOOM! CNN Admits No Further Mueller Indictments Is a ‘Huge Victory for the President’
MRC Newsbusters, Mar 22, 2019
Talk about a bad day to be analysts, commentators, hosts, and pundits at CNN who had been wanting the First Family’s legal situation to end in criminal charges and for the Trump presidency to end in disgrace.
On Friday afternoon after the Mueller Report had been handed over to Attorney General Bill Barr, chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin and crime and justice reporter Shimon Prokupecz conceded that the lack of further indictments (sealed or unsealed) in relation to the Mueller probe is a “huge victory for the President†and “really good news†for individuals who had been subject to endless media speculation.
How bad did it get? Two CNN personalities even admitted that Trump “had been vindicated.†More on that shortly.
After Laura Jarrett delivered the news that there would be no further indictments (or recommended ones), Prokupecz told host Wolf Blitzer that this was “probably one of the most significant pieces of information of all this because there's been so much speculation from everywhere†that “more is coming.â€

Hallelujah, it's over.
Did anyone really believe this whole dossier nonsense?
I know I haven't been 100% Trump all the time, but I'm not 100% anyone all the time, but that was nonsense from the get-go.
Can't beat him in an election, they just make up stuff to go after The winner.
Trump didn't deserve this and now I get to laugh at the sore losers on the left.
It will be fun to watch their meltdown.
I guess I should be mad that they did it in the first place, but hey, more relieved than angry.
It's a good day.

They couldn’t do any of this until after the Mueller Report was released without being accused of obstruction of Justice. The gloves can come off now.

$37 million investigation and all I got was this ROGER STONE DID NOTHING WRONG tee shirt. **nononono*

Be still my beating heart. All hail that The Mueller report is about to be released. MSNBC and CNN staff must be jacking off at the prospects of a report to spin....

Schumer's picture is shown under 'Lame' in the dictionary.

Of course, this report does not end all the other investigations. Might even inspire someone to add more investigations.
As Yogi Berra said, the game's not over until it's over.

Move over, Q.
@Cyber Liberty
Yes, Mueller not "suggesting" indictments, "Q" and buddies, plus @Quix, and most every Republican will have a fit since Mueller didn't ask for indictments against Obama, Hillary, Comey and those who held Comey's job after him, every Democrat who held office in the Justice Department or worked for the justice department, office holders in Obama's executive branch, plus indict Mueller as "Q" wants them all taken to GITMO and killed. Therefore, the Mueller report failed to get "Q" what he and he followers/Republicans wanted, and the Mueller report failed Democrats for their not getting to charge the president, all his family, with crimes.
However, it is up to the Attorney General to determine if there is evidence of a crime so that he needs to take whatever to the Grand Jury. This may be over; may not be over - up to Attorney General.

Even though that was not, per se, the brief Mueller was given? Evidently, surprisingly, he kept tolerably well, acceptably within the boundaries given him by Rosenstein.
Shrillery et al and their high treason and worse evil deeds just happened to be outside those boundaries. Why would we be upset that he followed the rules?
Everything in its own time. Step by step.
I'm confident enough in TRUMP & the Q-team's PLAN that I can wait for their schedule on the arrests and punishments of the CABAL-CRAT traitors.
Sounded like Barr realized shortly after taking his job again that he was outraged at the horrific list of crimes in high places he found out about. He was shocked & incredulous. I have every confidence he will insure proper treatment of such evils & evildoers, himself.
So, in short, your assessment of my responses YET AGAIN, is askew from the reality.
However, if you wish to don native costume and dance around in circles screeching at the top of your lungs as you seem to imagine me doing--help yourself.
-
Quix you said: "I'm confident enough in TRUMP & the Q-team's PLAN that I can wait for their schedule on the arrests and punishments of the CABAL-CRAT traitors." That is not what you said a few days ago; you are backtracking just like Q has done when Democrats didn't get arrested and killed.
You were sure that this month, by now, many, upwards of 30, 50+, your number changes, major, rich Democrats and George Bush would be arrested, taken to GITMO, tried and killed, some by hanging. You said McCain was killed by the government as was George H.W. Bush.
-
Is it safe to tell my liberal friends and relatives "I TOLD YOU SO".
-
So all the daily, never ending attempts at obstruction were all figments of our imagination? And we didn't see all those Russians hanging around the campaign, the transition, and the White House either.
Okay, if that's what you want to believe.

I have read that it is illegal to release grand jury testimony that did not lead to an indictment. If true
then the report might not be released in it's entirety. AG Barr has a hot potato in his hands

It's only a "hot potato" in the hands of the demonrats @edpc Grand jury proceedings are secret because no judge is present; there are no attorneys other than the prosecutor; and the defendant has no right to present his or her case or even to be informed of the proceedings at all. While court reporters can transcribe the proceedings, the records are sealed.
Grand jury testimony is presented at trial after the indictment, with a judge, defense attorneys and the opportunity for the defendant to present his or her case.
The report released will not include grand jury testimony or the names of the subjects of a grand jury investigation that did not lead to an indictment and turned over for trial. If this information makes it to the public arena it will be leaked and the leaker should be prosecuted.

How did special counsel Robert Mueller spend his Friday night after delivering his long-awaited report on the Russia probe? Dining at a local eatery he often frequents, according to a report.
Mueller, arguably one of the most talked-about people in the nation’s capital, was seen sitting in his regular booth at Washington, D.C.’s, Salt & Pepper Restaurant, according to Politico.
During the nearly two years Mueller oversaw the probe into Russian meddling, the former FBI director was often spotted at the restaurant on weekends with his wife, Politico reported.
Mueller is a fan of the scallops, while wife Ann gets a Caesar salad with salmon, a source told the outlet.

(CNN) — Attorney General William Barr is not sending the "principal conclusions" of special counsel Robert Mueller's report to lawmakers Saturday, multiple congressional sources and a DOJ official tell CNN.
In a letter to lawmakers Friday, Barr wrote that he may be in a position to share the principal conclusions "this weekend."

Well now, this should silence the president’s critics, get congressional democrats back to regular order, return CNN to normal news gathering and inspire a world-wide detente with President Trump.
