The FBI/DOJ is supposed to be apolitical. We know they are not, or at least, haven't been recently. But they are supposed to be. Given that, Mueller should have been, and should be presently, operating as if in a vacuum, unaware of what else is going on. It shouldn't matter if there are elections in a few weeks. And it would NOT matter, if the FBI/DOJ were truly apolitical.
But, okay, let's play along....so, Mueller waits until after the midterms. The report will help/hurt each side politically, depending on what's in it. Well, so Mueller thinks he performed some great service to the nation by holding it until after these elections? BFD! we are already starting the 2020 election cycle, since it is a presidential cycle. Mueller thinks the report won't have any impact on the 2020 cycle? True...many voters tend to have short memories, and too many allow themselves to be duped by the lib lamestream media, but still, this report will play some role in the 2020 cycle. No way can a so-called apolitical agency NOT influence politics in some way. That's because, in fact, they do NOT exist in a vacuum.
I know it sounds like I am contradicting myself. But the point is, by TRYING not to be political, if indeed that's Mueller's intent, he has, in fact become MORE political. Which is why he, and others in similar situations, should just do their jobs without regard to any other factors. If his report is ready, it should be released today.
Even CNBC is having to talk about positives in economy:

Watching the Beto town hall that Ted chickened out on. Will be an honor to vote for Beto.
Beto has stated he is for semi auto weapons ban, wants open borders, socialized medicine.. All 3 of those are non starters for me. Voting for Cruz..along with my wife, my son and daughter..
I've never in my life voted straight republican ticket.. but I am this time.
Ted is lying: Beto is not for open borders, and doesn’t advocate a ban on all semi autos (just the ban on the sale on the perjorafive - “assault weapons”- do you not already have yours?). Universal Medicare option is what he advocates. If it is good enough for our elderly why wouldn’t we want others the option to get it?
You can focus on the most extreme end points of his advocacy, but even when you do, you find that it isn’t so extreme - these are things that the average American supports. He has also advocated other moderate solutions to health care, gun safety, and immigration that conservatives could more easily agree on.
But if you vote based on fear as Trump would want you to do, you can find things to fear in Beto, or any candidate for that matter.
The big upside for Beto is that he isn’t a tribal democrat. If you see tribalism in politics as one of the main problems this country faces, then candidates like Beto are godsends.
But you don't believe in God....so from your viewpoint there is a "nothing" that sent O'Rourke.
And, it doesn't matter if this guy, or anyone, running as a (D) actually has moderate views, or sensible intentions, once they get to DC they are swallowed by The Swamp, and Schumer et al will tell him how he will vote on every issue. We NEVER see dems bucking their party leadership, NEVER! If they do they either commit political suicide, or in the case when the Klintons were calling the shots, real suicide.
VOTE for Ted Cruz!!!
You know the word godsend no longer means that the person or thing was literally sent by a god. I don’t think anyone sent him, but he is an unexpected person that we need in this moment.
