Trump Says Market Would Crash If He Gets Impeached

I stand by my characterization of that as political. I don't see how else it can be taken.

Of course your going too you'll stand by it even as they cart Trump away. And conspiracy speculation is just that .

If that's true - that Mueller is timing release of information for poilitical purposes - don't you find that disturbing?

Too bad he didn't

No, I don't.  First of all, I would reject your characterization of it as political and merely call it strategic.  The justice system in this country is adversarial in nature.  If the special prosecutor feels that a crime has been committed, it his duty to present those charges in the best light possible.  In that he is acting no differently than a lawyer who selects jury members who will be favorably disposed to his case.  Moreover, the special prosecutor is specifically assigned because of a potential conflict of interest between the normal prosecutorial mechanisms and a just result.  If a conflict of interest exists in congress regarding prosecution of charges against Trump, then Mueller is simply doing his job by navigating those conflicts of interest.  So, I reject your characterization of it as political.  Even if my speculations are true, he is not doing it to obtain political advantage, but rather in the interests of justice.  Furthermore, my general inclination is that Mueller will release the information when he's good and ready to do so, and that likely won't come until after the midterms and Kavanaugh's confirmation.  Given Mueller's history as a Republican, I find concerns about his politicizing the investigation somewhat laughable.  What I think concerns you is that Mueller might succeed in getting Trump impeached.
