"Mueller Delivers Report on Russia Investigation to Attorney General."

The NYT reports.

We're not reading it yet, but waiting for Barr.
Mr. Barr will decide how much of the report to share with Congress and, by extension, the American public. The House voted unanimously in March on a nonbinding resolution to make public the report’s findings, an indication of the deep support within both parties to air whatever evidence prosecutors uncovered.
ADDED: From WaPo:
The attorney general told [the House and Senate Judiciary Committee's] he was “reviewing the report and anticipate that I may be in a position to advise you of the Special Counsel’s principal conclusions as soon as this weekend.”

The attorney general wrote he would consult with Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein and Mueller “to determine what other information from the report can be released to Congress and the public consistent with the law, including the Special Counsel regulations, and the Department’s long-standing practices and policies.”

Barr said there were no instances in the course of the investigation in which any of Mueller’s decisions were vetoed by his superiors at the Justice Department.

“Also the SDNY will be busy with what Mueller has handed off to them.”

“Yeah, maybe some unaffiliated financial or process crimes, but the meat of it (conspiracy, treason, "collusion") is dunzo.”

What must be remembered is that the SDNY is not independent, as Mueller was supposed to be. The AUSAs working there report to a USA appointed by Trump and confirmed by the Republicans in the majority in the Senate.

Bruce Hayden;

Yes, the SDNY USA’s operate within Trump’s DoJ.

But they sought, and executed, search warrants on Michael Cohen. Cohen, as the former attorney for Individual 1.
