The Mueller Grand Jury Report

For John, BLUF:  The rules are the rules.  Or at least they should be.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Could A 60 Year Old Case Torpedo Mueller’s Report?

From Hot Air, by Reporter Jazz Shaw, 27 August 2018.

Here is the lede plus one:

One of the more compelling bits of drama coming out of the Russia, Russia, Russia investigation this summer has been the question of Bob Mueller’s highly anticipated “report” on the findings of the grand jury.  Rudy Giuliani has argued that he has to release it by this week or sit on it until after the midterms.  (A claim with some basis in reality but not a rule written in stone.)  Others have argued that politics shouldn’t set the timetable for anything in terms of upholding the law.  But is there even a report?  Thus far, Mueller’s been silent on the matter.

Assuming there is, however, there’s a completely separate court case drawing to a close in the next month which could keep any report Mueller generates under wraps.  Politico has a fascinating look at a mystery that’s over six decades old and a lawsuit arising from it which could seal the report from the prying eyes of the public and the press.
