      .@NGrossman81 argues that if Robert Mueller wants his investigation to have any political effect, he should release his report to influence the midterm. I'd argue, on the contrary, that few things would undermine Mueller's credibility more.https://arcdigital.media/trial-by-election-7f911e308b1f …

      If Mueller, who was appointed in part to leach out the political toxins of the Russia investigation, is seen to be playing politics with his inquiry, he'll just make it even more poisonous. I refuse to believe he's such a naif.https://arcdigital.media/trial-by-election-7f911e308b1f …

      A few things: 1) 100% agree that the investigation must be conducted apolitically. Follow the evidence wherever it leads and present that evidence in a professional, just-the-facts, manner.

          2) But the larger Russian question has been hopelessly politicized. Others make sure of that every day. 3) There's zero reason to believe House members will base their assessment of the investigation's final report on evidence rather than politics.

          Right. Which is why it's even more imperative for Mueller not to let himself get sucked into the morass. That's also a large part of my criticism of the FBI's use of the dossier.

          I agree. However, there's a question of when to release the findings. If they finish within the next 6 months, they could release their report before the midterms or wait until after. I think it'd be better for Americans to vote with more evidence and less wild speculation.

          The hypothetical premise underlying my thought experiment was that Mueller's team finds evidence that convinces them to build a case that Trump should be removed from office. If that's true (I have no idea), then smart prosecutorial strategy would consider the make up of the jury

          Replying to @NGrossman81 @varadmehta

          And since there's no reason to believe the House will evaluate the investigation's evidence objectively, it would be smarter for Mueller to time his presentation of evidence to Sept or Oct rather than Dec, and let the American people effectively determine the makeup of the jury.

          I think there's a less than zero chance that Mueller's report will say anything even hinting that he believes Trump should be removed from office.

          Not explicitly, no But the investigators are human. Career law enforcement officers. Consider themselves patriots. Try as they might, they'll have opinions as to what should happen And if Mueller presents evidence of, say, obstruction of justice, the implications are pretty clear

          Right. But there won't be anything explicit like "Trump should be impeached" or "Remove Trump from office."
