      I would be surprised to see this continued, frankly. They're probably reserving Gates' sentencing for a date past his testimony in a non-Manafort case, and the other two seem like their sentencings are aligned to meet DOJ policy on significant actions w/ political consequences.

      Though, on a countervailing note, Randy Credico is scheduled to testify in front of the grand jury on September 7th, which would indicate to me that Roger Stone is unlikely to be indictee before that date. We may only see the Flynn and Paps indictments before the election.

      Er, sentencing docs / sentencing report, rather.

      I mean, maybe? I'd extend the definition of politically sensitive to include the President's oldes political advisor, though of course there may be multiple waves of indictments -- if they push Miller to an earlier date, I'd expect to see separate PAC and Wikileaks indictments.

      Could be. Super tight timing to get that into the indictment on the literal day they hit the 60-day timeline, though.

      It seems like Miller is a bigger holdup than Credico.

          Precisely. The prohibition is on taking overt actions in investigations of: 1) Election related crimes pertaining TO THAT election 2) Candidates who are ON THE BALLOT Neither applies here. At all. Unless Rohrabacher is getting indicted.

          The problem being that there's no clear guidance. The prohibition arises out of 4 USC 7323 and its associated sections in the USAM, but DOJ folk-beliefs vary -- a guy I know who now works for Interior but used to be a DOJ was surprised to learn that it wasn't in the USAM.

          There's nothing in DOJ guidelines that says Mueller should end Trump investigation 60 days b/f midterms. That there's not an exact precedent like this doesn't mean there's ambiguity abt Mueller's mandate to continue the investigation. MSM should stop peddling Rudy's bullshit.

          There is no ambiguity about whether he may continue the investigation. There is ambiguity about whether he intends to follow the folk-guideline at DOJ, especially considering that several procedural steps -- Flynn's plea, Pap's plea -- appear to be scheduled to comply.
