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.
"I am reviewing this report and anticipate that I may be in a position to advise you of the Special Counsel's principal conclusions as soon as this weekend," Barr wrote in a letter on Friday to a group of lawmakers on the House and Senate judiciary committees.
Trump's outside lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow issued a statement saying, "We're pleased that the Office of Special Counsel has delivered its report to the Attorney General pursuant to the regulations. Attorney General Barr will determine the appropriate next steps."
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said, "We're pleased that the Office of Special Counsel has delivered its report to the Attorney General pursuant to the regulations. Attorney General Barr will determine the appropriate next steps.”
Humm...

Is Barr among those in Trumps pocket?
This is an interesting questions. He didn't get rid of Rosenstein... its hard to know.I think trump thought he would be, I'm not sure if Barr is playing the long game of being AG after trump, knowing that trump would fall

I think it depends on what this report is. Is it the russian collusion only, does it include the obstruction, the tas avoidance, the illegal campaign contributions, the illegal payoffs, the illegal russian campaign fund contributions, the illegal russian laundering money through Deutsche bank to trump, the emoulements clause violations... I could keep going.
Eric Swalwell to @MSNBC: "The American people will see every word, every comma, every period of this report. The president is outnumbered now in a way that he was not before ... It's just a matter of time."
"I believe we need to hear from Bob Mueller. I think the country would benefit from hearing from Bob Mueller and not just taking the attorney general at this word."
"This is a test for our country because the rule of law has had a wrecking ball taken to it and what we do now with this report will very much determine whether the rule of law still stands."

What's been uncovered already is remarkable enough for any normal person.
He pulled back the curtain on a sophisticated Kremlin hacking operation — identifying by name the 12 Russian military officers who he said sought to sway a U.S. election.What's been uncovered already is remarkable enough for any normal person.
He exposed a Russian online influence campaign — bringing criminal charges against the 13 members of a Russian troll farm now accused of trying to manipulate U.S. voters and sow division through fake social media personae.
And he revealed how those closest to President Trump defrauded banks, cheated on their taxes and, time and time again, lied to deflect inquiries into their ties with Russia.
After 22 months of meticulous investigation, charges against 34 people — including six former Trump aides or confidants — and countless hours of all-consuming news coverage, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III today submitted the long-anticipated report on his findings to Attorney General William P. Barr.

Right - lets see those indictments unsealed
I'd forgotten about those, are they now opened as his investigation is completed, I have no idea how the process goes?Breaking: No further indictments.
A senior U.S. law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the matter says that the Special Counsel's Office has concluded their investigation by transmittal of their report, as federal regulations mandate.
Is this where trump family have a sleepless weekend?
Mueller’s mandate was to investigate the Trump-Russia election scandal, whenever he’s uncovered alleged crimes that fall outside that mandate, he’s handed them off to U.S. Attorneys’ offices for prosecution. So you can fully expect that Mueller has referred for prosecution all the alleged crimes he’s uncovered on the part of everyone in Donald Trump’s orbit. This isn’t over; today is the starting point.

One year, ten months, 6 days, indicted or gotten guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies that we know of, six former Trump advisers, 26 Russian nationals, three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer. Seven of these people (including five of the six former Trump advisers) have pleaded guilty.
