quote:

A political columnist for British magazine The Spectator published an explosive claim on Saturday. According to the columnist, who writes under the pseudonym “Cockburn” (which is pronounced “CO-burn”), Russia investigation Special Counsel Robert Mueller has completed his final report on collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 presidential election — and the report contains recommendations that are likely to shake the Trump administration — and United States politics — to its core.

quote:

In the Cockburn column, the anonymous journalist claims to have “several sources” who report that Mueller’s report is complete, but has not been officially submitted to U.S. Attorney General William Barr, due to a dispute between Mueller and Barr over one major issue — whether to indict Trump himself.


quote:

Mueller wants to hit Trump with an indictment, according to The Spectator. Barr, however, opposes an indictment of Trump. “The two men met on Friday but apparently could not agree and this was the reason for the delay in any announcement from the DoJ,” Cockburn wrote. “At least this is what the sources say.”

quote:

The columnist had predicted that Mueller would submit his report in an official capacity on Friday, March 8. But that did not happen. Cockburn then went back to his sources to find out why his earlier prediction was wrong. He was told by his sources that the report had been scheduled for a March 8 delivery, but the disagreement between Mueller and Barr over an indictment caused the announcement to be postponed.

According to Cockburn’s sources, Barr has approved, or at least not disapproved, several other bombshell recommendations in Mueller’s report — the indictments of three adult Trump children, as well as Trump’s son-in-law.


quote:

“It is said to recommend indicting three of President Trump’s children – Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric – as well as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner,” Cockburn wrote, adding that Barr has “silently assented” to the indictments of Trump’s family members.

“There is a strange silence around town,” the source said, according to The Spectator column. “Like the weird calm before a major hurricane.”

Not only are the sources anonymous, but the writer is too. That's a new one.

So an "Anonymous" reporter citing their own "Anonymous" sources say...




This is inception reporting.

The sources are so good that this was published on Saturday in the UK and still nothing in the US press. Also, the Cockburn character is based on the British solider that set fire to the WH in the War of 1812.

Barring some unseen bombshell, there’s no way that they have enough to indict trump and his kids.

If mueller makes a play for that, it’s a straight political hit job.
