The Mueller Report should prove interesting!!!…Whether we get a complete report on conspiracy, obstruction & maybe other crimes, or a report on just one of those categories, or an interim update report, word is circulating something is about to come out after the midterms. It could be Rosenstein is pressuring Mueller to release something soon, because indications are Trump is ready to disrupt the leadership at the DOJ, which could have a direct impact on Mueller. It’s possible Mueller won’t be ready yet & that anticipated Mueller report wouldn’t come out until sometime in 2019, but the political realities of an antsy Trump seemingly ready to interfere, Mueller may not have the luxury of time. He may be forced to release what he’s found so far, while disclosing the areas that still need investigated.
Or it’s possible the Mueller report would be all done this year with final conclusions reached. I would be shocked if the Mueller report doesn’t find substantive solid evidence of multiple crimes by numerous people in Trump’s orbit, including by the ringmaster himself. So I’m quite confident the ones who’ll have every reason to be shocked by the Mueller report will be Trumpeters & the echo crowd. When they keep believing the repeated lies coming from Trump & his echo, the truth could become a very bitter pill to swallow. But whatever the case, stay tuned, since the mystery drama we’ve been following for many months could be about to reach a stunning conclusion. It might shake the very foundation of our nation, but that is exactly what we may need to happen, depending on the evidence. Mueller’s team has been very tight-lipped all along, so prepare to be surprised! Here are those articles the Mueller report may be coming soon:

More Mueller News
I’m up against a deadline so my commentary here in part 1 is shorter than usual. But there are lots more informative articles below, plus you’ll find plenty of commentary in parts 2 & 3. The latest reports have Manafort & Cohen both having extensive talks with prosecutors, which presumably they know (& revealed) a lot! All these cooperators who’ve flipped on Trump should help Mueller get to the bottom of whatever happened with Russia, Trump’s business dealings, & various other potential crimes. If special counsel is being rushed to provide their Mueller report soon to the DOJ, it’s bound to help that so many central players flipped & are cooperating.

Here is an excellent article below. Our democracy & constitutional rule of law demand we learn the truth, which can only come about by letting Mueller finish the job. The Mueller report must be complete & hopefully not rushed so we only get the abbreviated version. Remember how Ken Starr’s Clinton probe & the Benghazi investigation went on for years, but the Russia probe is far more complicated. And Mueller is hitting pay dirt with several indictments already. Please make sure you read these excerpts from defend-robert-mueller-russia-investigation-against-trump-attacks:
One of the first significant issues that confronted me when I was sworn in as President Ronald Reagan’s attorney general was whether the special counsel mechanism should be expanded. I strongly argued that this process should be retained but only for the most serious and consequential investigations undertaken by the Department of Justice. I believed that the special counsel should be utilized solely for uniquely important investigations where the outcome must be seen as completely credible by the entire country regardless of political considerations. I cannot think of a more consequential undertaking in the 30 years since I initially took that position than the investigation into the attacks by Russia on America’s elections. Indeed, the gravity of special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment is confirmed by the fact that we have so rarely utilized such a position in our justice system. It also underscores why Mueller should be allowed to follow the facts wherever they take him — and make a full public accounting to cleanse our political and governmental institutions of any lingering questions.
As a lifelong Republican who served under seven presidents, I have an abiding faith in the rule of law that is a central thread running through every administration I served. America works only if our system of justice applies equally to all. This system thrives only when everyone involved — from local police officers to the attorney general and the president — behave in accordance with the distinctly American belief: Nobody is above the law, not even the president. This is why such special counsels have been appointed under both Democratic and Republican administrations only when extreme circumstances required. Twenty months ago, President Donald Trump lauded Attorney General Jeff Sessions as one who “has devoted his life to the cause of justice and believes deeply that all people are equals in the eyes of the law.” Sadly, Trump seems to have forgotten his prior characterization in his recent attacks on his own attorney general for, among other things, recusing himself from overseeing the Russia probe.
The Office of the Attorney General deserves better and so does Sessions. President Reagan would never have done this. Neither would he have tolerated, let alone supported, Rudy Giuliani’s mission to undermine the special counsel. That said, if the president takes dangerous steps to stop the investigation or install a person to head the Department of Justice who won’t continue the department’s current course of action, there is a remedy. Congress must not abdicate its role as a co-equal branch of government in protecting the special counsel’s investigation. Congress needs to make clear — both to the president and to the American people — that it will empower the special counsel to continue his investigation unimpeded and bring the facts to light. The Senate in particular was created to act as a check on the executive branch’s impulses. The Senate confirmed Sessions with every Republican senator voting in favor. Now is the time for those Republican senators to stand by their vote and defend the attorney general.
Mueller has earned the right to complete his work. He has already indicted or secured guilty pleas from at least 32 individuals and three companies. We should give him time and space to finish. My sincere hope is that President Trump’s tweets are mere bluster from a president whose accomplishments — especially on the economy — aren’t being properly credited, and that President Trump will ultimately revert to his prior words that “all people are equals in the eyes of the law.” The best way for the president to be exonerated is to allow the special counsel’s office to conclude its investigation and release its final report publicly. As the late Sen. John McCain said of Russian President Vladimir Putin: “If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.” We must insist that the Department of Justice perform its duties vigorously and follow the evidence wherever it leads. Our democracy demands no less.
That Trumpian criminal enterprise which is the subject of the Mueller probe has a long history, which New York is also motivated to take a real close look at such possible criminal activities: is-fraud-part-of-the-trump-organizations-business-model.

Midterm Elections
Need any more proof the GOP has turned into an evil cult?: campaign-manager-for-brothel-owner-who-died-hell-still-win-nevada-election. I’m confident the Dems will take the House, but I sincerely fear for our democracy & rule of law if they don’t. These links below take us to timely info on the state of the midterms, with a number of articles showing if we are to ever fix the GOP, we’d better first destroy the party! We can’t legitimize & embolden Trump by letting the GOP win. He’s already a tyrant, but we don’t need him turning into a dictator. He’s steadily taking over our institutions of governing until soon, we may no longer have a balance of power. So encourage people to vote, since we need to send a clear message. There has never been a more important midterm election! Check these out, there are some good articles here:
