What exactly happens when the Mueller investigation is finished? SaraMurray breaks it down.
The clearest signs yet that the monastic special counsel Robert Mueller may be about to file his final report with Attorney General William Barr have sent Beltway insiders to a state of nervous alert.But there is no report yet.So White House lawyers, Trump campaign flacks, key congressional offices and newsrooms are left counting the hours, poised to shape the end game of the most important investigation into a President's behavior in at least 20 years.
White House braces for release of Mueller report 02:08 Just after sunrise Thursday, Mueller was met by camera flashes as he steered his car into the underground garage of the building where he has based his nearly two-year investigation into Russia's election meddling scheme.A suddenly swelled media pack, huddling with their cameras under umbrellas in a chilly late March deluge, waited outside all day, vainly on guard for activity that could give some indication Mueller's time was up.
WH official: We're reading Mueller tea leaves like everyone else 02:53 Despite the explosion of anticipation, there is every chance that when, Mueller's report is finally filed, there will be a sense of anti-climax.The first question will be a simple one."Is he in fact done?" said CNN legal analyst Michael Zeldin, a former colleague of Mueller."Is he telling the attorney general 'my investigation is over,'"Zeldin added.
Why Mueller cares about Donald Trump 01:45 Mystery also clouds the kind of report that Mueller will file.One model would be for the special counsel to adopt a traditional, sparse prosecutorial approach to explain the cases he initiated and decisions he made not to charge other people linked to the case.
Nadler: Cannot use executive privilege to hide misconduct 02:10 As soon as Mueller files his report, the game of expectations setting and vying for political advantage will begin.If Barr does not release something in short order, Democrats in Congress are likely to demand disclosure, armed with their subpoena power.And Washington being Washington, leaks can't be ruled out.
