Why I hope Mueller waits til Jan....

[Roland99]

to release indictments against key members of this admin.

Should we garner any majority of either house of Congress, it gives us a chance of making those charges stick.

The GOP is wholly complicit in letting Russia get away with anything and not hold anyone accountable unless there’s a D in their suffix.

1. Not I. He should indict when he has his evidence gathered.

The newly Democratic Congress won’t drop the ball if the indictments come down in October.

[lagomorph777]

2. Right, and we need the public to know as much as possible about GOP crimes before the election.

[dem4decades]

3. We found out about Russian interference after an election, how

Did that work out?

[trueblue2007]

8. DO IT IN OCTOBER !!!! OCTOBER SURPRISE. Mueller tells the world, Trump & GOP Traitors

[Amishman]

11. Too close, timing would make it seem partizan

Needs to be now (before Sept), or afterward the election. Anything close to the election feeds into the right wing myth that the investigation is a partizan exercise.

[trueblue2007]

13. okay.........before September !!!! GET THIS INFO INFRONT OF THE VOTERS.

LET America and the world know that TRUMP HAS BEEN JUDGED A TRAITOR. Let the GOP be judged TRAITORS.

[dem4decades]

14. You see it all the time in baseball, a make up call. Do it DOJ, you blew the first call.

4. The political animal in me says

Let Trump to continue to damage the Republicans. But Trump is so nutso that I think to do so risks democracy and/or the Republic itself.

So I think that Mueller should make his move once he has got all the pieces he needs to prove collusion/conspracy/treason.

[H2O Man]

5. Respectfully disagree.

I have yet to see any good reason for waiting. The GOP cannot influence the outcome of indictments, no matter if they come in September, 2018, or January, 2019. Thus, this is not a factor.

The very real potential for impeachment and conviction of Trump will obviously be greater if we make significant gains in this fall's elections. For that very reason, both indictments and Mr. Mueller's report are far more beneficial in the months prior to the November elections.

[Roland99]

6. My thinking if the indictments come sooner, Rosenstein is gone...

and Sessions is gone and the newly confirmed stooge that worked for a Russian bank becomes top dog and scuttles the investigations

[H2O Man]

10. A few things:

That stooge, who is exactly as bad as you think, is still well down the line. Next, a number of republican Senators have already warned Trump not to fire either Sessions or Rosenstein. Third, once indictments are filed, the legal case has begun. And last, in recent months, Mr. Rosenstein and Mr. Mueller have begun a coordinated spreading of information, not limited to the SDNY, so that Trump cannot derail justice.

It is an intense time. But we will get through it.

7. Our best hope for an honest election may well be outrage over Mueller's report.

The Russians are hacking the election again - I'm guessing to keep the GOP in power. An outraged electorate may work against that hacking.

[edbermac]

9. He shouldn't wait for anything.

One more day that idiot sits in the Oval Office is one more nail in this country’s coffin.

[Lee-Lee]

12. No person in his shoes should ever time anything for political considerations

Let the chips fall where they may, when they would normally in the course of the investigation.

No hurrying, no delaying.

Any other way taints the appearance of impartiality on the part of the investigation.

This needs to be an investigation and subsequent prosecutions done in a way that is 100% above board with zero political considerations or appearances of them.
