    What’s the 60-day rule? Well, it’s not a rule. But, it sort of is. Unofficially. Got it? If not, check out my story to understand why everyone — including you know who — seems to be a little on-edge this week. (Heads up: Next week will be worse.)https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/mueller-trump-russia-justice-department-60-day-rule …

        “But Trump isn’t on the ballot!” is the new “There’s no law against the president facing indictment while in office!” OK, but you’re not running things. Mueller and Rosenstein are, and there’s no reason, in my view that they wouldn’t adhere to this norm.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1034980619045036032?s=21 …

        Because the rule isn’t just about Trump, it’s about affecting any elections. See: (1) the IG’s description of the “rule,” (2) the actual memo, and (3) my discussion. pic.twitter.com/AeflntzwTC

        None of the people being investigated or indicted are running for anything. That it might have a peripheral effect on others was never the intention of the rule. The whole premise , then , is absurd. Justice delayed, is Justice denyed.pic.twitter.com/DiQTuaASN0

        Mueller seems to be the ultimate “play by the rules” type. And while we all wish he would not adhere to them in this instance, in retrospect I think (hope) his rectitude will be a huge strength.

        No. If Rump & Rethugs are breaking "unofficial rule" after rule, then NO WAY do Mueller or Dems have to comply. If Mueller has something and it's time to announce it - GO FOR IT!!

        Besides - Rump and the Rethugs will scream about ANY new info, even if before this 60-day period. So stop worrying about them.

        Since Trump & rest of the CONs have thrown all the rules out the window, would be fitting for Mueller to do the same a la Comey.

        I'd like for the Mueller team to lay low during that 60-day period so that the GOP pigeons don't have anything to flap about when they lose.

        Does this apply to any action taken by a grand jury? Could they hold off announcing if they wanted to strictly hold to this norm?
