Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s long-awaited report is complete, nearly two years after he was named to oversee the investigation into obstruction of justice, possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and literally anything else that came up. 

On a quiet Friday afternoon, the Department of Justice notified the key lawmakers that Attorney General William Barr has received the report.

Barr has told congressional leaders he is “reviewing the report and anticipate that [he] may be in a position to advise [them] of the special counsel’s principal conclusions as soon as this weekend.” Meanwhile, Mueller has indicated that there are no further indictments expected.

Next, a debate will ensue between Barr, the White House and lawmakers over how much of the report will be made public

Of note, Barr told Congress in a letter that Mueller did not overreach his mandate during his investigation. 

“Robert S. Mueller III has concluded his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and related matters. In addition to this notification, the Special Counsel regulations require that I provide you with “a description and explanation of instances (if any) in which the Attorney General” or acting Attorney General “concluded that a proposed action by a Special Counsel was so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Departmental practices that it should not be pursued.”

“There were no such instances,” writes Barr.

In total, Mueller was able to net five guilty pleas for crimes almost exclusively unrelated to wrongdoing by President Trump or his campaign, including former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and former national security adviser Michael Flynn. 

We now get to look forward to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and other Democratic lawmakers, who now control the house, continuing the investigation and Russian collusion and “literally anything else” they can come up with. In fact, probably right up until the 2020 election. We would imagine a sharp dropoff in accusations upon a second Trump victory. 

We understand that they have discussed issuing subpoenas to force disclosure and perhaps even public testimony from Mueller. 

“We’re going to insist on the underlying evidence,” said Schiff in February on ABC‘s “This Week.” 

“If you take the position that the president cannot be indicted, and the only remedy for improper, illegal or other conduct is impeachment, then you cannot withhold that information from Congress, or essentially the president has immunity,” he added. 

In a statement following Friday afternoon’s news, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said “Barr must not give President Trump, his lawyers or his staff any ‘sneak preview’ of Special Counsel Mueller’s findings or evidence,” and that the White House should not “interfere in decisions” related to how much should be made public.”

We wonder why it hasn’t leaked by now? Surely the anti-Trump media has friends in high enough places based on their network of “anonymous sources.” 

Conservatives have been celebrating the late Friday submission as a win, following several rumors that Democrats would be dealt a “dud.”

Dear Chairman Graham, Chairman Nadler, Ranking Member Feinstein, and Ranking Member Collins:

I write to notify you pursuant to 28 C.F.R. §600.9(a)(3) that Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III has concluded his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and related matters. In addition to this notification, the Special Counsel regulations require that I provide you with “a description and explanation of instances (if any) in which the Attorney General” or acting Attorney General “concluded that a proposed action by a Special Counsel was so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Departmental practices that it should not be pursued.” 28 C.F.R. § 600.9(a)(3). There were no such instances during the Special Counsel’s investigation.

The Special Counsel has submitted to me today a “confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions” he has reached, as required by 28 C.F.R. § 600.8(c). I am reviewing the 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.

Separately, I intend to consult with Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Special Counsel Mueller to determine what other information from the report can be released to Congress and the public consistent with the law, including the Special Counsel regulations, and the Department’s long-standing practices and policies. I remain committed to as much transparency as possible, and I will keep you informed as to the status of my review.

Finally, the Special Counsel regulations provide that “the Attorney General may determine that public release or” this notification “would be in the public interest.” 28 C.F.R. § 600.9(c). I have so determined, and I will disclose this letter to the public after delivering it to you.
