His full investigation, or a part which is ready for prosecution. Again, kinda obvious.
Quote:His mandate is far ranging and open ended. There is no specific endpoint. So your objection is unclear at best.
Er, yes, "when he's satisfied" of completion doesn't give a specific date, but it does give a criterion - completion - that isn't political in nature.
Quote:Second, everything that anyone thinks is true is "obvious" to them. You and Neo seem to think saying that is sufficient to establish something as grounded.
I think the fact that you included political criteria was obvious to a reasonable reader.
Quote:If you can't explain your reasoning better than that, you're not worth listening to, and are likely just a deluded partisan conflating "undesirable" with inappropriate or unethical.
Feel free to put me on ignore.
Quote:Mueller's mandate is to investigate and prosecute any crimes he discovers. If the latter part of that mandate provides incentives for filing specific charges at a specific time, so be it. When he first discovered information leading him to believe that Manafort was guilty of specific crimes, he didn't just simply stop. He pursued the matter until he was satisfied that he could successfully prosecute the matter. That is his mandate. I think you're confusing what is in the interest of yourself with what Mueller's interests should be.
I think you're now making my argument for me. With Manafort, he prosecuted when he thought the investigation was complete, not when it might have political effects.
