ago and said there was indeed a full counterintelligence investigation opened into a sitting president. we know that robert mueller absorbed that investigation. do you expect those answers to be released to congress and released to the public at whatever point the mueller probe ends? not necessarily. i hate to be the one to rain on bipartisan congressional parades rain away! here s a few drops at least. i can think of at least four reasons, maybe more, why we should not see everything in that report, as much as i might like to. first, there could be classified information which would either have to be declassified or redacted. secondly, there would likely be grand jury information in it, which we can t see unless a federal judge orders it released. third, we normally do not talk about information that exonerates other people. at least we don t talk about it publicly at the department of justice and fbi. and so i can imagine that might be a problem too.
