On the eve of Labor Day weekend, and with the midterm elections roughly two months away, there has been a lot of speculation when we will next see news from the Mueller team. Executive Editor Mike Allen appeared on Morning Joe today to provide insight and explanation on what we can next expect from the investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Context: Meet the Press anchor (and Political Director for NBC News) Chuck Todd made news yesterday when he speculated that today, the Friday before the long weekend, might bring a Mueller bombshell.

Allen tapped down expectation a bit, explaining that the office of Special Counsel is likely on its own timeline adding that they won’t succumb to “taunts” from the “other side.” He then revealed that “the two topics mentioned to me by lawyers close to this investigation when they talked about what might happen today,” are legal questions surrounding Roger Stone, Jr. and Wikileaks.

Stone himself is widely accepted to be the unnamed person in the indictment of 12 Russian agents in the Mueller probe and raised eyebrows when he his anti-Hillary tweets appeared to coordinate with Wikileaks release of hacked DNC emails that were, at best, politically embarrassing to the Clinton campaign.

1. all about speculation and veiwership....I would say non-politicians and the so-called 60 day rule

for elections NOT in play with any of the people Mueller is setting his sites on at the moment.

2. These reporters don't know anything

And they are goddamned assholes for INVENTING their own timeline of labor day being a cutoff. They are practically giving Republicans an excuse to be angry if something happens next week.

These assholes love creating news instead of just reporting it.
