Guys, remember that SDNY and whatever NYS, etc. are doing are totally separate from Mueller. So it's not done at all.

My bet is that the report avoids outright accusing Donald Trump of crimes, but (as others have speculated), phrases it in such a way that the GOP will be able to claim any shady business was just a misunderstanding.

Bootlickers will continue to cover for the president's response, no matter how outrageous.

And if I'm wrong, I'll let Shim choose my new avatar, which I will then purchase and keep for at least two months. If it's particularly shameful, I'll probably add text blaming him (and my own poor decisions).

Hmm sounds pretty weak to me. The report is that he's not recommending any further indictments. I doubt that would be the case, or be released, if it seemed likely that there were going to be something big coming.

Because Mueller can't indict a sitting President? And there are still sealed indictments waiting. It's up to the DOJ to determine how to indict a sitting President, now, if necessary. Mueller's job is done. Doesn't mean it's over.

Here is a thought, maybe the line that there won't be any further indictments is being misconstrued in light of the supposed sealed indictments that have been sitting in Virginia or DC for months? I'm not a prosecutor but could they not have left bigger/more controversial fish in sealed indictments for the AG/whoever else to deal with?

What the gently caress is up with everyone falling for this bullshit Trump supporters are spewing right now? Just because Mueller is not making any new indictments means very little.

Trump wasn't immediately torn away from his nap time and thrown into prison! It's all over! Game over, man, game over!

Mueller didn't use a warp whistle to skip ahead to the president. If he didn't indict Bannon, Jr, Ivanka, Kush, etc, he wouldn't have gone directly to Trump.

Multiple sources reporting there are no sealed indictments.

This part, especially. Most of the motivation for DSA organizing was strategic positioning for when the public turned hard against trump following a damning mueller report in order to ride that wave. The insanely telling amount of hedging coming from people like Schiff suggests the report falls far short of being damning. With trump being able to now recover in time for campaign season without a drumbeat of leaks and indictments, there's no wave to ride.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but I'm not emotional about it either. I've been skeptical that anything major would come from this. A few of you remind me of Fox Mulder and his I Want To Believe poster and it probably ain't happening. Unless there was something so explosive, so terrible that even Trump's base would turn against him, then it's probably a good thing it all fizzles out into disappointment. And we would've already heard something by now if it was legit.

The most realistic outcome is that the Mueller report lists a considerable amount of things with well sourced, well documented facts and leaves it as "lol this is congress' problem, cya".

At which point nothing will happen.

I may be a CHUD, but not a right wing one. I’m laughing at the thought that this was ever going to go somewhere and people’s reactions. We will see what happens but Daddy Mueller the loving cop isn’t and never was a person to idolize.

Gogounicorns? I'm just pointing out everyone declaring "Trump wins!" Or "we're hosed" is doing it with literally no evidence. And most of it hinges on them thinking that since Mueller has no new indictments it's all over. It isn't. There are still sealed indictments, and he was NEVER going to indict the President himself because he can't

Also leave it to the dude that says he's no Trump supporter to drop homophobic slurs lol
