When is Mueller scheduled to give his "report" to Congress?

[kentuck]

Would he give his report to both Majority and Minority Leaders? Would it be public information?

I would not hold my breath waiting for Mitch McConnell to do anything about it, no matter what information is in the report. He is one useless Senator. But he's a good Republican that will always put his Party over his country. I don't think Donald Trump has much to worry about with a "report" to the Congress.

At this point, Trump is considered a "subject" of an investigation, rather than a "target". If he remains a "subject", then there would be no hurry for anyone to impeach. He would have to be involved in some type of criminal activity for that to happen, in my opinion.

My hope is that this news is not the first step in whitewashing this entire investigation. Sending Manafort to jail is not the end of this story.

2. As I understand it, indeed, the report would be

be a written case for impeachment for Congress to take under advisement and act on if they concur.

In my opinion only an obstruction of Justice claim leading to bullshit.
I want him in cuffs and perp walked - not handed over to Congress on a piece of paper.

3. This is so big with so many people

Why would dumpf be a target when it could be that he's one of many "Subjects" in any one investigation?

With many different investigations going on?

Could that be all it means?

Not a lawyer here, just thinking out loud.

4. A report to Congress apparently means that Mueller will recommend impeachment.

There would be no other reason to release a "report" to Congress.

The strategic reason for naming Trumpy as a "subject" instead of "target" is to lure Trumpy into an interview with Mueller's team without having to issue a subpeona, having Trumpy defy a subpeona, and then having a Constitutional crisis that would be decided by the Supreme Court. The "subject" label is their offer and challenge to Trumpy: talk to us and vindicate yourself.

Picture Mueller as a salivating wolf. Trumpy is in his sights.

Yes, it's a sad time that the nation must endure this tragedy. But we must get through this.

5. I think this might be mostly a strategic move by the Special Counsel?

He wants to interview Trump. This may give Trump the confidence to agree to it?

Or Trump was getting very close to relieving Rosenstein of his duties and this could have been a move to keep the investigation going on its present path?

Who knows?

10. That's what I hope, a little sleight of hand n/t

6. The report doesn't go straight to congress

DOJ rules dictate that the report goes to Rod Rosenstein (due to sessions' recusal). Rosenstein decides what to do with the report from there.

9. Thanks!

I had not heard that.

[Arazi]

7. Never. The report goes to Rosenstein who decides it's fate

8. McConnell is just guilty with Russian problem, so why would he do anything?
