Not so fast: Mueller still investigating pivotal Russia probe issues
https://news.yahoo.com/not-fast-mueller-still-investigating-pivotal-russia-probe-110321830.html
Mueller himself has been silent throughout the probe, but his team has provided clues that prosecutors are still working on key issues, an indication he may not be ready to submit the report to Attorney General William Barr imminently.
...
Representatives of key congressional committees involved in their own Trump-related probes have said they have received no guidance from Mueller's office regarding his investigation's progress or future plans.

(25,111 posts)that "soon" Mueller's investigation will conclude and a final report is forthcoming.
Then you have shithole every day claiming no conclusion and then you have Manafort attorney(s) continue to lie about what the judge said. Ya think the lawyers would be held accountable for lying on camera.

(5,528 posts)If we get much closer, there will be a movement to delay any release until after 2020.
After all, wouldn't it be the utmost in irony that an investigation into influencing an election would be politically charged for influencing an election.
It could come directly from the Mueller team not wanting to enter the election fray.
More likely, I see Mueller issuing whenever it is ready. Then Barr plays coy and delays the release with excuses like vetting for top secret information. I don't think that they will be able to bury it completely but I do think they will try to delay it to the least damaging time. I fear we are entering a time frame where that could slide into post-2020. And you know the entire Republican Party will back them with crocodile tears about the sanctity of democracy.

This is almost better than the OJ trial or the Iran Hostage Crisis, day 5 million and thirty one.
SNL had a parody with Eddie Murphy in the eighties which highlighted where the direction of the media was heading in the most bizarre and morbid way:

and not make it a Comey type situation...as if that fricken matters. Only the Ds suffer from thinghs like Comey. The repubs get to perfectly plan their elections so they keep JUST enough power to bullox things up. Sort of like the "political question" used by the SC to not hear cases...kinda. But, different.
With Speaker Pelosi saying no impeachment urgency, I think Mueller will be fine not fluffing gop feathers. Hard to imagine he hasn't gotten even ONE charge for this president. One? So we can get this started. At this point an average citizen can put together a prima facie case just watching TRMS. Two whole years w all the money he can use and all the prosecutors he needs. Come ON man. How about Felonious Uttering......tsk tsk. (After yesterdays no collusion etc) Dereliction of duty? Failure to secure the Homeland from enemy attack? They haven't even done anything about the voting boxes except get ivanka a patent for even shadier ones out of China.
The Ds always suffer bc we play by the rules. When the other side (us) plays by the rules, it's easy to plan to cheat us bc we are routinely predictable.
of course...all of the above is just an opinion. Stated for your reading edification and perusal. Take what is interesting leave the rest...and always remember...when I type, I speak for myself, and sometimes go for a small laugh. It's just IMHO.

Just conjecture and I thought the average reader could take it for what it is. None of what you said is excluded by my post except the time factor.
