      Why are people so invested in a Mueller "report"?

      I mean, who started the theory that's how we'd learn what he found? Where'd that even COME FROM?

          There are many ways Mueller can communicate what Trump has done. Thus far he has chosen indictments.

          People have been conflating Bob Mueller’s job with Ken Starr’s job since Day One. Also: Wishcasting.

          The idea that Republicans would somehow respect it and be able to comment on any of this once it came out. That charade is obviously no longer believable, but I think that's where it started at least

          I find it highly improbable that Mueller's team would leak or reveal it's hand in April to WaPo or anyone for that matter, much less confine themselves to a narrow defined route like a definite tell-all report. Access journalism sucks.

          Vague collective unconscious recollections of the Starr Report.

          Might be wrong but I thought I heard it was one of the 'options' under the special counsel regulations. I'll see if I can find it.

        1. this is all so absurd‏ @darlingCorinne Jul 27
          Replying to @emptywheel

          People intuitively analogize from the Starr Report and don’t realize that the DOJ regs for Special Counsel are different than the old Independent Counsel Statute. I think the majority of the media just assumed without checking.

          Not sure if it was the first first,but my recollection is when lawyers started arguing about whether you can indict sitting POTUS

          What, you think that maybe an unverified, anonymously sourced report that confirms what a large group of people want to believe is, quite possibly, untrue? Dare I say news that is fake?

          LINT (short thread). The most interesting part of this piece is the revelation that Mueller wants to write a report on this, "to answer the public's questions." Remember that under the Special Counsel regulations, Mueller doesn't have the authority to produce a public report.

          WaPo. They did a story about Trump not being a target sourced from Trump’s lawyers. They told WaPo that Mueller is preparing a report.
