By Erik Wemple Erik Wemple Media critic with a focus on the ups and downs and downs of the cable-news industry. Email Bio Follow Media critic March 22 at 7:12 PM The clock started ticking just after 4:00 p.m. on Friday:
— MSNBC March 22, 2019 And it’s not likely to stop anytime soon. New outlets — for months and months and months — have been speculating about the likely end date of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election being conducted by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. Would it end in early 2018? Fall of 2018? February 2019? So many of the forecasts were wrong and now, on March 22, there’s a piece of paper signaling the end.
A big deal, that is, with no beef: Though news outlets have a document indicating that the report has been submitted, they don’t have the report. Over at CNN, legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin riffed off the detail that Mueller is done issuing indictments. “There’s no better news to receive than you are not being indicted,” said Toobin, noting that there had been a fair bit of suspicion about people such as fringe-right author Jerome Corsi and Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son. Toobin had that right: As former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon once said,"They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV.
