What an odd cliff hanger

Lex Anteinternet: I'm surprised this day actually arrived.: Released on a Friday afternoon. . . potentially leading to speculation all weekend long and lots of musing on the weekend news shows.
I suppose that Mueller turning his report in on a Friday is a mere coincidence.   Perhaps his assistant finished proof reading it that morning, they printed it out, he got out his vintage Shaeffer military fountain pen, inked it in blue ink, and then pickup up his hat and coat and on his way out the door told the runner to run it over to Congress on her afternoon errands.  And then maybe he took the bus home, ate a Chick-Fil-A fish sandwich with waffle fries, avoided watching the news, turned off the cell phone, and popped his copy of The Third Man in the blueray after pouring himself a glass of Scotch.

Maybe.

But what a guaranteed way to leave folks hanging over the weekend.

And hanging they are.  Trump supporters were already chanting taunts about there apparently being no more indictments, one liberal news personality had a on air fit, and so on.

But nobody really knows what it says. And just because you turn in your work on Friday doesn't mean that indictments, if there will be any more (and I doubt there will be) won't come on a Monday.

Hopefully the whole thing is released. That won't end this story, but after all of this, it needs to occur.
