if he doesn't the republicans will scream he's trying to influence the upcoming election in November. And everyone knows how they can be the victim.

(9,426 posts)one where we take this country back. The gop are worse than the Mafia. Stick together protecting the worst of the worst. They are deep in Russian money, and voter manipulation. Honesty left the gop years ago, now they thrive on dirty tricks. The bad part is, they get away with it because some people are too stupid to "see the light".

(18,641 posts)To finish early because of political consequences would make the investigation itself political and Mueller isn't the sort of guy who would do that.
Besides, being in the FBI probably means he sides with Republicans in most issues anyway. He's not doing this to support Democrats. He is simply trying to capture the law breakers.
It may be that technically Trump hasn't broken any laws in dealing with Russians so he may never be brought to justice for that.
His financial crimes could be another story though.

Whinny Republicans need to be careful on how much they really want to protect here.

Some talking head allowed that if the Mueller investigation isn't complete by the end of August (which seems unlikely), it will go quiet until after the election. The theory is that Mueller, unlike Comey, will follow the FBI policy not to let investigations interfere in elections.
Seemed reasonable.

(10,500 posts)And that is understandable. We don't need another James Comey.
Of course, Russia-gate is all too real, while the fake email scandal was a total fraud from beginning to end.
