Have you in all of your reporting been given any indications this thing is going to wrap up anywhere close to soon? >> i think what we have learned as this investigation has continued is that it's very possible that mueller will be able to sort of lob off part of that, that part being the obstruction probe. we believe that may be able to wrap at some point this summer. but of course, as "the washington post" points out tonight, mueller wants to see trump interviewed first. he wants to be able to get to that key question that underlies each case of instruction and that was intent. he wants to k...
