      You're commenting on a bullshit article.

      I don't know how I'm supposed to know which Mueller investigation articles are bullshit. This one claims to have info from inside the Mueller investig & mult sources "current & former US officials"

      No, it actually doesn't. Moreover, it's premised on a stupid (though admittedly popular) view of the obstruction side of the investigation.

      -They claim they have multiple sources "current & former US officials" -Sources told them investig "is close to completion" which only the Mueller team could know for sure - They claim that their sources' info is a "peek into Mueller's calculations"pic.twitter.com/pT7vfNtWE9

      2/ Second item clarification- they don't say the whole thing is close to completion, just the obstruction part of the "probe"

      3/ But I don't disagree with the part about it being stupid (tho the signal to noise ratio on this whole thing has gone beyond the stupid level long ago)

      Replying to @joanneleon

      OKAYYY. So if the obstruction part is stupid and Mueller is 4 guilty pleas into the substantive investigation, then where do you get "Burns thru million$$, commandeers every megaphone blasting so much noise they drown each other out etc etc"? Mueller hasn't touched megaphone.

      First let me make sure I understand what your claim is. The Mueller investigation team has not given any information to the press, directly or indirectly, through the many people supporting and using the investigation for political reasons?

      Replying to @joanneleon

      That is, in fact, my claim. Aside from court filings, of course. But you appear to be missing the 5 guilty pleas so you may have missed those.

      I'm not sure how or why you could know that the Mueller team has not given information to the press, directly or indirectly (aside from the official announcements). How do you know this?

      Well, for one, a slew of very good journalists have been bitching that only Congress is talking. For two, the same very good journalists are more surprised at what Mueller is doing than I have been. For three, EVERY known story has a more obvious source. That's just 1, 2, and 3.

          I don't have that kind of faith in journalists anymore and I say that with honest regret. The latest from Mayer & Risen kind of knocked out the last bit of confidence I was hanging onto. Obviously I have little to no faith in what the intel agencies say.
