reporting on this. some are going all in just stating as a fact the report is coming out. mueller s work is about to wrap up. i noted with great interest some comments you made to one of our producers. you re a contrarian on this and you re not sure at all that it s coming to a rapid end? i asked myself why now? why would this be the time that mueller would choose to conclude his investigation and issue his report? he s just indicted roger stone. roger stone could someday be a cooperative witness. mueller would be crazy to ever put roger stone on a witness stand because the man is a walking credibility gap. but stone could give him an amazing road map to what the president told him, what he said to assange, what he said to corsi, lay it all out and give mueller the ability to then go
stand because the man is a walking credibility gap. but stone could give him an amazing road map to what the president told him, what he said to assange, what he said to corsi, lay it all out and give mueller the ability to then go and develop the further evidence, classic technique, why end when the roger stone story isn t done. we had that supreme court case over in d.c. circuit case over the last several months litigating mueller trying to get evidence from a state-owned foreign corporation. he hasn t gotten that evidence yet. you got the corsi piece of litigation out there, you ve got miller who was sued doing it. there s a lot of loose ends here. why now? the only reason is, rod rosenstein is about to resign. but and rosenstein has been the gatekeeper and the protector of the mueller investigation, but bob bar is now in the
to assange, what he said to corsi, lay it all out and give mueller the ability to then go and develop the further evidence, classic technique, why end when the roger stone story isn t done. we had that supreme court case over in d.c. circuit case over the last several months litigating mueller trying to get evidence from a state-owned foreign corporation. he hasn t gotten that evidence yet. you got the corsi piece of litigation out there, you ve got miller who was sued doing it. there s a lot of loose ends here. why now? the only reason is, rod rosenstein is about to resign. but and rosenstein has been the gatekeeper and the protector of the mueller investigation, but bob bar is now in the attorney general seat and barr is a principled man, a very serious mainstream lawyer and he s also an old friend of bob mueller s. they served together in the bush 41 justice department. bob barr described him as, quote, a good friend in his confirmation hearings.
to day in court by mueller s prosecutors anymore. some seem to be farmed out to elements of the justice department. even so, there do seem to be a lot more than just trailing end. these are lat of open cases. some of them seem to be in fairly preliminary stages. how shall we understand that reality alongside the prospect of a report from mueller going to the justice department soon? right. the report from mueller may well end the mueller part of this, but there is a whole other big part or parts of this, and your a block i think listed most, but not all of it. we know the stone search warrant was an important investigative step and that agents hauled a whole bunch of stuff out of his house. they re still probably going through that, and stone, if he wants a trial, that might be months away. and if he ends up cooperating after that, if he is convicted, that s even more months away. there are a whole bunch of pieces, corsi and stone.
