Mueller’s Filing Could Be Delayed Pending Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner’s Indictments, Says Ex-U.S. Attorney

A former U.S. attorney predicted on Saturday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report may be delayed pending the possible indictments of Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner for lying to Congress.
During a segment on MSNBC, host Alex Witt and legal analyst Barbara McQuade discussed Mueller’s impending report and how the long-awaited probe will finally come to an end.
“Based on everything we do know so far, how do you think this probe will wrap up? Do you think there will be more indictments? Does it appear to be leading down that road?†Witt asked.
“The fact that all of the documents that continue to come out, continue to have redactions in them suggest that there are still investigations that are not quite wrapped up,†McQuade suggested. “Now it could be when someone is investigated that doesn’t necessarily mean they will be a charge—it means charges are being looked at.

How can lying to Congress possibly be a crime when they lie to us every day?

The president’s legal advisor has an answer for that. Apparently, it’s OK if you’re not under oath and really busy.
Giuliani said that Cohen has "a real motivation to sing like crazy" and that "he will say whatever he has to say" to escape his three-year sentence. "He’s changed his story four or five times," Giuliani said.
"So has the president," Stephanopoulos replied.
"The president’s not under oath," Giuliani said. Trump did "the best he can to remember what happened back at a time when he was the busiest man in the world."
