...Mueller knows that any release of bad-for-trump info or indictments prior to the midterms would be vilified by the Fascist Party - aka the "GOP" - Greedy/Groper Old Pervert Party - for "negatively influencing the election."

He is maintaining strict leakage control and absolute neutrality.

in case you were one of them.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/31/feds-charge-man-who-worked-with-russian-co-defendant-of-paul-manafort.html

An associate of a Russian co-defendant of ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort pleaded guilty Friday to failing to register as an agent for foreign interests, and has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, including special counsel Robert Mueller.

The case against W. Samuel Patten, 47, of Washington, D.C., relates to consulting and lobbying work that he and an unidentified Russian national performed for a Ukraine political party and its members, who included a "prominent Ukraine oligarch." Manafort had advocated for the creation of that party, Opposition Bloc, after Manafort's client, ex-Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych, was removed from office and fled to Russia.

Patten concealed the fact that he had caused $50,000 from that unidentified oligarch to be used to buy four tickets for the oligarch to attend the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump with Patten in January 2017, according to court records. The inauguration committee is barred from accepting money from foreign nationals.

Patten's case was referred by Mueller to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and the Justice Department's national security division.

While analysing Todd Gurley's performance for the LA Rams, he said:

"He showed great patience, and determination. He showed as much patience and determination as (turns to the camera) FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller does in that investigation. Oh, you know he's going to get in that end zone. You know he's going to get in the end zone!"

(extremely unlikely that will play outside the UK, but it's around 13:40 if it does)

I'm sure the ever-increasing amount of corruption with which he has to deal gets overwhelming at times.
