The report has been delivered to the Attorney General!
Random thoughts...
Mueller says there will be no more indictments. This appears to let Trump Jr. off the hook, as it seems clear that he lied to Congress. But Mueller still has numerous sealed indictments. Does this mean there will be no more indictments other than the sealed ones?
Mueller has been ahead of everyone throughout this entire investigation, and as noted in this space before, he knows way more than anyone realises. The report likely has some earth-shattering revelations in it.
What of Trump Jr., Kushner and Trump himself?
I suspect that in losing Manafort, Mueller did not have a witness who would testify about the "why" regarding the June 2016 meeting with the Russians. This may have proved fatal to the collusion aspect of the investigation - even if he knows the "what", without a witness to explain the "why" the information could be close to useless. It is what it is, and no one knows what pressure the Russians may have brought to Manafort to make sure he did not become that key witness.
Trump and perhaps Kushner will go to prison some day owing to real estate shenanigans in New York City. This will not happen until after Trump is no longer president.
Barr has said he will release only some information about the report. However, the report will be released in its entirety as the public will very widely demand it, but it will not be released at first, as the Trump White House has to digest its contents and prepare its responding lies - they may even craft their own report in response.
We do know that the Mueller investigation proved conclusively that the Russians are America's enemy - they tried to pervert a US presidential election. There is simply no question about this.
How has the President of the United States reacted to this fact? How has Russia been punished for trying to pervert US democracy?
Do we really need a report to tell us what we already know?
Trump is deeply compromised by Russia, and this is a clear and president danger to the entire West.
