ETA, currently no more at link:

Special counsel Robert Mueller will make a public statement at 11 a.m. Wednesday on the Russia investigation, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday.

"Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III will make a statement on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election," the department said. "This will be a statement only, no question and answer period to follow."

Mueller has not made any comment on the investigation since he was named special counsel in May 2017. House Democrats are seeking to have him testify before Congress in the coming weeks.

Mueller's planned remarks come after a new book reportedly asserted that Mueller drew up a three-count obstruction of justice indictment against President Donald Trump before deciding to abandon it. A spokesman for the special counsel's office denied any indictment had been drafted.

4. I doubt he will reveal anything other than what Barr has allowed

Hope I am wrong

5. He is walking a tightrope...

I'm sure he feels that way.

There is a lot of pressure coming from his political Party. We would hope that he would show the courage of Justin Amash but we are not assured that will be the case?

Somehow, the Congress must get the full Mueller Report, in order to get to the bottom of this investigation.

Mueller understands that he has the capacity to create chaos in our political system.

Oh lord, since Mueller’s statement is being coordinated by the Dept of Justice, it means Barr may have had a hand in it. Oy.

The White House got a heads up last night that Mueller would likely deliver a statement today about the Russia investigation, a senior administration official tells me.

8. Guess 1 (most likely) - Mueller will address Wolff book bogus claim that SCO drafted indictment.

Guess 1 (most likely) - Mueller will address Wolff book bogus claim that SCO drafted indictment. Less likely: explain his reluctance to testify in public. Least likely: don't listen to anything Barr has said about my report.

9. Thanks for the speculative additions, demmiblue -- but, ugh to each one. nt

10. Yeah, I think many are going to be disappointed.

[demmiblue]

11. Then there is this:

A person familiar with the matter tells me Special Counsel Mueller will deliver a “substantial” statement at 11 a.m. today, and the statement is NOT a response to reporting about claims in Michael Wolff’s soon-to-be released book.
