It's either a big deal or a very big deal. Either way, nothing will come of it

This is a good way to put it. Mueller's posse might have somehow de-indexed the SAR disclosures in question to minimize the chance of someone in, say, the FBI NYC field office or some jumped up city cop with access via DHS dual-hatting, getting word to Cohen that his bank tattled on him. This would be the big deal option because it means Mueller has sufficient belief to distrust at least someone in LE with SAR database access.

The Very Big Deal option would be a cover-up.

SAR disclosures are meant to be something between a police report and an internal audit/investigation in scope, depending on the filing institution and the type of activity being reported. Government agencies all over have access to some/all filings because the IRS for example would want to know if some chucklefuck thinks $9,999 is an invisible cash deposit no bank would ever suspect of being an attempt to hide income. Other times it's "hey this mob lawyer guy showed up to open an LLC account and the ink was barely dry on the incorporation paperwork, but he had $150k dropped right in it from his personal HELOC which he then wanted to have wired to some law firm in California, and he wanted to be really quiet and vague about it like he was hiding something" in report form and the bank sends in account/business/signer information, transaction data, and a narrative. Feds can and often do return the call and ask for the case documents, which banks have to retain for every SAR filing for a minimum of 5 years.

Giuliani made a recent stink about how Mueller told him that he can't indict Trump. It was walked back to just a Special Counsel's office callback saying that.

The truth of the matter is that Mueller is bound by DOJ regs that say a sitting President can't be indicted. The catch is that there is ZERO case law. It's unclear if the President can be subpoenaed (like to Mueller's Grand Jury) and it's unclear if the President can be indicted.

There was a test when Clinton got subpoenaed by Starr, but the subpoena got pulled when he agreed to testify. It never made its way to the courts.

Mueller will likely issue a report to Congress and that's about it.

Biggest worry for something like that is spread within a hospital. Ebola on its own can be contained pretty well if you restrict blood / bodily fluid contact. If you've got a not well run hospital and patients bleeding out from every mucosal surface, well...

Also working in the response’s favor is that there’s a huge UN mission already in country that has airlift capabilities and can facilitate easier movement in the bush. That being said, I would be seriously worried if any cases made it into Kinshasa and crossed the river into Brazzaville, because then you’re looking at coordinating between two governments that really don’t like each other and dealing with a highly contagious disease in a teeming megacity with poor sanitation conditions and already stressed medical infrastructure.

Another thing that helps right now is that it’s the rainy season in Central Africa, so that really helps to constrain movement along unpaved rural “roads.”

That said, I’m glad I’m not due to go back to Central Africa until later this year. I hope it burns out by then.

While I am glad this is being taken as seriously as it is, it is also a good time to remind everyone that Trump and the Republican Congress want to cut CDC funding and funding to international aid such as the WHO.

This article points out Congo as one of the nations where the CDC would have dramatically scale back operations
