"SNIP....

Special counsel Robert Mueller asked a court to delay sentencing for President Trump’s former deputy campaign chairman, Rick Gates, amid “ongoing investigations” stemming from the Russia investigation, Reuters reports.

Mueller cited Gates’ continued cooperation with multiple probes and asked permission to update the judge on the case again by May 14.

Always a delay. Manafort took two years to slap down. Crumbs it seems, while the USA is wrenched top to bottom. But, ....there's no urgency...ahem.

Let Mueller do his job. I don't need some keyboard warrior telling him how to do it better.

more than enough of this. Thanks for noticing.
There's an old adage...something like.."A job will expand to fill the time allotted for it." how much time are YOU good with?

was ask the court to delay Gates' sentencing because of "multiple ongoing investigations" - but those aren't necessarily OSC cases. They could be cases that were referred to SDNY or other jurisdictions, which are ongoing. Mueller's Russian election interference investigation might actually be nearly done, but we won't know until it happens.

Maybe Mueller isn't supposed to do what helps keep you happy.

Maybe the investigation isn't being done to assuage all your worries and fears -MAYBE there is a HIGHER consideration than what YOU WANT.

Justice delayed is justice denied. that's a maxim of the law. WE are paying for the investigation, and everything trump does to hurt us everyday. Must be nice to be insulated from the damage. A measly press conference won't destroy the investigation. He doesn't have to reveal anything. let's hear from Bobby, and not everyone else about "what bobs doing." ?
"A job will expand to fill the time allotted for it". How much time are we ok with?

than that of the Special Counsel's.

AGAIN, I'm weighing your words, and nobody knows who you are or if you know anything
against Mueller's actions, who we actually know a lot more about.

So who do I listen to? YOU or HIM? I'm not saying I should ONLY LISTEN to Mueller. The issue is whether your words should be on a par with his.

They shouldn't because there's no evidence that you know anything about this topic, especially given that you referred to the investigation as producing "a few random convictions".

That suggests that rather than expertise, spouting opinions is done between online games rather than between bouts of serious research or study.

And have it all blow up in their faces in 2020, after the RNC bullies other republicans into not primarying those assholes. If I get what I want, I am perfectly willing to wait.

Folks, this stuff is going to be boiling hot in 2020, I hope it consumes Trump and Pence after republican cowards refuse to primary the corrupt bastards.
