Byron York: Much talk that something is up with Mueller. Too bad nobody knows

There are two diametrically opposed lines of thinking about Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. The first is that he is winding down his probe and is unlikely to allege that the Trump campaign and Russia conspired to fix the 2016 presidential election. The second is that he is still going strong, with the biggest charges, perhaps including the fabled collusion allegation, yet to come.

Which is correct? No one outside the Mueller office knows. There are data points, or at least tea leaves, pointing in all directions. But whatever the reality is, there is at this moment a sense that something is imminent from Mueller, and that sense is shaping Trump-Russia politics.

House Democrats are revving up Trump investigations, and one of the questions they face is whether to try to replicate the Mueller probe or rely on the special counsel's findings when it comes time to consider impeaching the president.

We ALL know. NOTHING!! When you make up crimes against people for lying to the FBI your fishing. Manafort charged with a crime from 15 years ago that FBI had deemed not worth their time. What EVER reputation Mueller had is RUINED as it should be. When you look for crimes instead of having them committed. YOUR NOT LEO. YOUR A POLITICAL HACK.

Over time I have watched interviews with Ken Starr who investigated Bubba. He is a class act and went after the facts not innuendo. Mueller will go down as "king of the witch hunts" with this nothing burger. Americans will see that this is all due to the "never Trump" syndrome. Metaphorical black eyes and egg on the face for the democrats.

He's stalling because he doesn't know how to get out of it. He's the white Jussie Smullet.

The Trump administration will never make the report public, without any charges against the president. The law doesn't require his administration to release the findings. The new AG has already testified he won't release the report, and will only publish (maybe) a summary of the investigation and its findings. The bogus investigation was, and is, purely political in nature. It doesn't deserve the light of day.

Just day dreaming but wouldn't it be nice if the Russian collusion continued only with the Clinton's being investigated. I'm a dreamer.
