CNN: Attorney General Bill Barr Will Soon Announce The Completion Of The Robert Mueller's Russia Investigation


CNN: Justice Department preparing for Mueller report as early as next week

Washington (CNN): Attorney General Bill Barr is preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, with plans for Barr to submit to Congress soon after a summary of Mueller's confidential report, according to people familiar with the plans.

The preparations are the clearest indication yet that Mueller is nearly done with his almost two-year investigation.

The precise timing of the announcement is subject to change.

The scope and contours of what Barr will send to Congress remain unclear. Also unclear is how long it will take Justice officials to prepare what will be submitted to lawmakers.

But with President Donald Trump soon to travel overseas for a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Justice officials are mindful of not interfering with the White House's diplomatic efforts, which could impact the timing.

The Justice Department and the special counsel's office declined to comment.

WNU editor: I am skeptical that this will happen. I see this investigation going into next year, and if it the investigation does end it will be a few months before the 2020 elections. But if this report is true, Attorney General Bill Barris moving quickly to assert his authority over the Justice Department, and he wants this investigation over with ASAP.

Update: Everyone is lowering expectations .... Mueller report may be ‘anti-climactic,' says ex-intelligence director (The Hill).

While the Mueller investigation may soon come to a close, there continue to be court cases that will be handled by other federal prosecutors.
In addition, Mueller has referred certain matters that fell outside the scope of the Russia probe to other US Attorneys to pursue. Some of those investigations have already been revealed, including the investigation in New York into former Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen. That probe has spawned subsequent federal investigations in New York into the Trump Organization and the Trump Inaugural Committee. It is possible the special counsel's team has referred other matters that have not yet come to light.

Hoping that he announces they have uncovered HRC Russia collusion and they will pursue.

Firt the investigation and then the prosecution, hopefully.

I doubt there will be a "report" at all. It'll be a series of leaks and innuendo castigating Trump's character. It will be a steady "Drip Drip" of fakery over the next year to further harm Trump. Which hasn't worked out so well for them so far.

Our banana-republic DOJ and their Democrat hack shitweasels have nothing.

Maybe they'll phony up another dossier.


FRENZIED,
MACHINATIONS,
