We may be in for a big week. With Justice Dept's reported moratorium on major actions in run up to midterm elections (Sept 1-Nov 6) ... brace yourself. What could happen: Indictments of others involved in Cohen's campaign law violations Roger Stone's time in the barrel + more

To the extent DOJ plans to adhere to such a moratorium even though Trump isn't on the ballot, wouldn't they have one more week? 60 days before election = Friday September 7.

Important distinction given that Mueller scheduled Credico for 9/7 GJ appearance a month ahead of time

If Mueller needs Andrew Miller's testimony to indict Stone (¯\_(ツ)_/¯), he'll have to wait a while longer.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1030180178272677889 …

Yup. But he does have 100M of documents from him, and 2 hours of FBI interview with him.

How badly against the rules is it to charge him rather than wait for GJ testimony?

They don’t have to charge him. Could also cave to his immunity demand and force his testimony like SDNY did with Pecker and Weisselberg.

No, but it would achieve their objective. Plus there's all this sealed stuff at the end of that docket, which would seem to go beyond what they would need for a motion to stay.pic.twitter.com/C5GlvXzjMK

FYI: We now know, per Miller's lawyer in a DC Circuit filing, what most of these docs are. The remaining question is what was Mueller seeking in Doc. 38 — which was done with no response from Miller before getting the order, 40, from Howell.pic.twitter.com/WGvxpKIUYL

At this point in the investigation, it's highly likely the OSC is weighing optics against "would be nice to have vs. need to have."
