yet another false Mueller prediction

So last week, I read and heard on some talking head show that the Mueller would deliver his report on Friday 3/8, yesterday. That there would be final indictments. And now yesterday has come and gone.

I'm to the point where all such predictions are just so much gossipy wishful-thinking. Best to ignore such blather. The Mueller report will unfold when and how it unfolds. All that is required of me is to practice patience and focus on electing Dems in 2020. Elizabeth Warren will be in Dallas tomorrow. I think that I'll go see her.

1. I think the Trump people are leaking these Mueller predictions...

because they know that it will keep the MSM chasing their tails, whipping up anticipation for the iminent release of... nothing yet. It keeps the MSM from talking 24/7 about the criminality of this administration if they are spinning the gossip instead of the facts.

Hard to say it, but all we can really do is wait it out.

And, yes, ignore all of the "predictions" by people wanting clicks and airtime.

6. Would we know whether it was delivered or not?

DOJ is required to send something to Congress, but not ten seconds after it is delivered.

Absent a leak, we probably won’t know about the report right away.

When it happens we will all know, but listening to all the BS on TV, or here on DU, is a wast of time. I have seen so many "upset" people here posting all kinds of "doom and gloom" crap her lately.

8. I will believe the Mueller investigation is over when I hear Mueller say "My work here is done."

Everything else is speculation - or wishful thinking.

Mueller will work until the mission is complete or he is relieved.

10. I believe it all started with John Brennan, but he himself said he didn't have any inside info.

He just speculated that it would be soon because Rosenstein's leaving in the middle of the month, and he didn't think Mueller would time his next move to coincide with the Ides of March.

From what I've heard of Mueller, he wouldn't care about Shakespeare much. When he's ready he'll be ready.
