Feel free to put me on ignore.  Smile

I'm not going to put you on ignore, but I will, and others should, ignore your reasoning here if you can't even explain it.

Your criterion, completion, is just you repeating your prior unclear statement. When is his investigation complete?

Rosenstein's letter appointing Mueller as special counsel says that, "If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters." So the discretion as to when it is necessary and appropriate is fully Mueller's. If it is necessary to prosecute Trump prior to or after certain events of a political nature, such as the midterms, in order to effectively carry out that prosecution, he has that discretion.

Moreover, prosecutors' decisions are driven by such considerations as a matter of course, as pointed out in my original reply. The fact that such decisions take political realities into account does not in and of itself make those decisions political. If you're suggesting that Mueller should deviate from common practice, you need something better than that it's obvious to you that he should.

Now, unless you've got some other argument than "because I said so," then I think we're done here.
