Fever Pitch: Speculation Rampant That Mueller Report Will Drop At Any Minute
Speculation is running rampant on social media that special counsel Robert Mueller is about to file his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and allegations of collusion with the campaign of President Donald Trump.
“Can you just feel the tension?” asked CNN’s Don Lemon late Thursday. “The White House, Congress, all of us, on pins and needles with the Mueller report expected to drop at any time now.”
“I just don’t see a wrap on it at this time,” John Dean, a central figure in the Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard M. Nixon, said on CNN.
Dean also speculated that the White House itself could be generating rumors that the report was about to come out. Then when it doesn’t, it’ll seem like the investigation is being dragged out.
“I think more indictments are coming,” he predicted.
Over on ABC, chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl reported late Thursday that no more indictments were expected, another sign the investigation was just about done.
And on MSNBC, they managed to turn a grainy photo of Mueller arriving in his car for work into a story.
“This is what may mark the TMZ phase of this probe,” host Ari Melber said.
In other words, no one seems to know much of anything for certain. And it’s just about driving Twitter users wild with apprehension:

Last night I had a dream the Mueller report got leaked on Limewire, which is a pretty strong sign that I need a vacation

The Mueller Report is supposed to drop anytime now. Nobody knows what the report will say.
But what we do know is this: Russia attacked us, Russia interfered with our election, some Americans might have helped Russia, and this President sadly doesn't give a damn about any of it.— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) March 22, 2019
I'd watch a stoner comedy about how Robert Mueller has just been goofing off this whole time and now the report is due

Remember THE HATCH on LOST? Remember how it was, "What's in the hatch? We gotta open the hatch. All the answers are under the hatch." Then,they opened the hatch, and they were all,"We still don't know what's going on." And it was like 7 years and everyone was dead? Mueller Report

Waiting for the Mueller Report is like waiting for the baby to be born. We’re in the end of the third trimester and just want it to be over. But, as every parent knows, once the baby comes - that’s when all the real work begins. 😬

God, grant me the serenity to ignore some of the stupid punditry that will flow like liquified bull dung when the Mueller report drops. Amen.

I understand why anticipation for the Mueller report is high, its always intriguing when something is secret,
but in many respects the report shouldn’t even matter.
THERE ARE ALREADY MULTIPLE REASONS TO IMPEACH AND REMOVE TRUMP FROM OFFICE THAT ARE PUBLICLY KNOWN. https://t.co/ek0QXoqPcj— Jon Cryer (@MrJonCryer) March 21, 2019
If you are anxiously awaiting the Mueller report, just imagine how Team🇷🇺Trump feels right now.😎#Busted pic.twitter.com/wfUlQrzl0e
