The most likely scenario is this one: The Yogi Berra: The Russia investigation will not end next wk


Barr may announce something. He may take it on himself to even give insight into some facet of the Mueller investigation. He may announce that there was “no collusion” or there was collusion, or that the sun rises in the east. Maybe there’s some nugget of information that Mueller really feels needs to be public now that Barr will bring before the microphones. And the investigation continues. Let’s hope that it does. Because if the investigation ends next week, it’s hard to see how that’s anything but astoundingly good news for Donald Trump.

*And yes, that’s a joke about the song “Closing Time”

Everyone caterwauling over Barr immediately "ending" Mueller probe: Remember Mueller's team has had months to prepare to be ousted/fired/shutdown. Idea that they'd be caught by surprise, without recourse, is absurd. If Mueller is wrapping up, he means to.

7 by the special investigation authority headed by Mueller.

4 by the SDNY

1 by the US Attorney for District of Columbia

2 by the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia

5 by various city and states' governments (I counted them separately, for 19 total)

Plus a couple of "mystery" cases the press haven't identified as part of an investigation.

I don't remember which would have basically been wound up by now, but it's not over for Trump no matter what the Mueller mandate reveals about Russian interference.
