Well, Trump and company told the American people last year that they predicted the Russia probe would be completed by Thanksgiving 2017. It's looking like they might have been off by only 12 or 13 months.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is expected to issue findings on core aspects of his Russia probe soon after the November midterm elections as he faces intensifying pressure to produce more indictments or shut down his investigation, according to two U.S. officials.
Specifically, Mueller is close to rendering judgment on two of the most explosive aspects of his inquiry: whether there were clear incidents of collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, and whether the president took any actions that constitute obstruction of justice, according to one of the officials.
That doesn’t necessarily mean Mueller’s findings would be made public if he doesn’t secure unsealed indictments.
The regulations governing Mueller’s probe stipulate that he can present his findings only to his boss, who is currently Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
The regulations give a special counsel’s supervisor some discretion in deciding what is relayed to Congress and what is publicly released.
