most recent filing prior to this? yes, jim. i think there is a couple things at play. i do think mueller was trying to do his best to not do anything explosive. i think mueller is being tactical. for every piece of information mueller puts out there, some of the witnesses adjust their story accordingly. you want to hold close for as long as you can properly and appropriately any information you have. we saw that potentially last week when mueller waited until he got his written answers from trump before announcing the new cohen plea, for example. so, yeah, i do think that s what mueller was doing there. margaret, what about that? waiting until after the mid-terms, but also the postponement four times of flynn s sentencing on the request of his counsel and the agreement of and request of mueller and his team of prosecutors. politically, what does that indicate to you? well, politically it suggests he had more information, more
