Anyone heard from Obama or meuller lately?

You can't post a single article?

For someone who claims to religiously follow the news, you are incredibly ignorant of even the most well-known aspects of the investigation.

I was on my phone and can't give links from it, but I gave you an article. Google it.

@mott-the-hoople said
Is it DOJ policy to leak every aspect of an ongoing investigation? I mean it is not like meuller has adhered to any policy.

Mueller hasn't leaked at all which is why your Republican buddies in the House have to keep trying to obstruct justice by making huge demands for sensitive documents regarding an ongoing criminal investigation (Wray, Trump's appointed FBI Director, stated he has had to assign a 100 staff members just to meet Congressional document demands).

Did Mueller say that himself or is that just pundit opinion?

Mueller rarely says anything in public. But it is a longstanding DOJ policy, which you would know if you read that article or any of the many that describe the policy in detail.

EDIT: Well, a practice:

The IG’s report on the Comey investigation outlines in detail the Justice Department’s practices in heeding sensitivities when deciding about whether and how to take action on an investigation in advance of an election.

“No Department policy contains a specific prohibition on overt investigative steps within a particular period before an election,” the report notes. But the department has “a longstanding unwritten practice to avoid overt law enforcement and prosecutorial activities close to an election, typically within 60 or 90 days of Election Day.” The IG reported that some officials put the time period at 60 days, while others cited a 90-day timeframe.

In each of the past three presidential election years, the sitting attorney general has issued a reminder memorandum, though not for midterms. The memo includes a recommendation that employees consult the department’s Public Integrity Section, known as the PIN, “whenever an employee is `faced with a question regarding the timing of charges or overt investigative steps near the time of a primary or general election,’ without regard to the type or category of crime at issue,” according to the IG’s report.

@Mott-The-Hoople

as a matter of fact, it has just been reported Cohen talked to M for FIFTY HOURS. Spilling the beans, showing where the bodies are buried. And that is just Cohen. There are others ready to spill more beans so don't be so arrogant, it will come back to bite you in the ass.

Anyway, what the FUK does Obama have to do with ANYTHING anyway??
Is M indicting Obama now?

Mere speculation and nothing more. DOJ policy does not apply to Mueller.

“In the only conversation I’ve had with Robert Mueller, I stressed to him the importance of cutting out the leaks,” Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., told “Fox News Sunday” after news of impending indictments in Mueller’s probe was leaked last October. “It’s kind of ironic that the people charged with investigating the law and the violations of the law would violate the law.”

Said by a repub with the aim to end the probe and so protect the corrupt POTUS you worship.

Yes it does.

What is your source of information?

I'm not going to keep showing you water is wet.

Mueller is under Rosenstein who has to approve his investigatory steps. This has, again, been alluded to almost daily in various articles.

Take a look at 28 CFR 600.7 which specifically states Special Counsels "shall comply with the rules, regulations, procedures, practices and policies of the Department of Justice."

It is a rule? Didn't you call it something else before?

I think you called it a practice or tradition or something like that and didn't imply it was a rule.

Are you illiterate? It's a practice and the rule says that Special Counsels shall comply with all practices etc. of the DOJ.

EDIT: Since CFR stands for "Code of Federal Regulations" the cited section is a regulation not a rule.

Let me get this straight. The president is being investigated for getting help from Russian election interfering and the policy is to not disadvantage Trump in the mid-term elections?

I'll assume that is because indictments are not convictions. You might want to remember that indictments of Russians for hacking allegations are not convictions. They are merely allegations and nothing more.
