Washington on high alert for Mueller report but uncertainty surrounds what happens next

LA Times  

Robert S. Mueller III hasn’t made any public appearances since visiting Capitol Hill to testify behind closed doors in June 2017, one month after he was appointed special counsel in the Russia investigation. “Not only do we not know what the attorney general is going to do with Robert Mueller’s report, we don’t know what Robert Mueller’s report is going to look like.” Mueller has given no indication of whether he thinks President Trump obstructed justice, one of the focuses of the probe. “No one can really plan for that because no one knows what’s coming.” Trump’s legal team has prepared a rebuttal to Mueller’s report. FULL COVERAGE: Robert Mueller finishes his investigation into President Trump’s 2016 campaign » The special counsel regulations offer little guidance on what to expect. He also can decide that “public release of these reports would be in the public interest.” That means the key figure in coming weeks may be William Barr, Trump’s new attorney general — not Mueller.
