When will the Mueller report land? Will the public get to see it? (The House voted 420-0 in a nonbinding resolution Thursday demanding the Justice Department release it.) Who knows—but there's still a ton of news to unpack from this week in special counsel land. Read our dispatch from the week of waiting for Mueller's report.

No Mueller report yet? No problem!

It's Friday, and there's no sign that the Mueller report will be here. But—there's still a few hours left in the day. And with our luck, special counsel Robert Mueller III will transmit the very important findings of his investigation to the attorney general on a Friday night…

Still in the week of speculation surrounding the Mueller report, there was a sentencing for Paul Manafort, a status report for Mike Flynn, and a hearing for Roger Stone.

>> Paul Manafort was dealt two consecutive blows, within minutes of each other, this week—first, when a federal judge in Washington, D.C., sentenced the former Trump campaign chair to an additional four years in prison. That term, which follows another sentence from a related case in Virginia, will elevate his total time in prison to about seven-and-a-half years, although Manafort will also receive credit for the nine months he has already served in jail.

The comments from Judge Amy Berman Jackson in D.C., as she meted out her punishment for Manafort, stood in stark contrast to those from Judge T.S. Ellis III in Alexandria, Virginia, last week. Whereas Ellis saw a defendant who lived an otherwise “blameless” life, Jackson saw a man who skirted laws to sustain an “opulent” lifestyle. Whereas Ellis has previously criticized Mueller's probe, Jackson has rebuked Manafort lawyers for criticizing the special counsel's prosecution of their client: Their “no collusion mantra,” she said Thursday, was “simply a non-sequitur” that would have no bearing on his sentence.

The second, and potentially bigger blow for Manafort, could be a set of 16 charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, which were unsealed moments after Manafort's sentence in Washington. The charges, which center around allegations of mortgage fraud, are significant because they would be out of reach from a potential Trump pardon. Presidential pardons and commutations only apply, as you know, to federal crimes, not state convictions.

>> Roger Stone got a Nov. 5 trial date during a Thursday status hearing before Jackson, who also oversees his criminal case. Jackson said a trial for the longtime Trump ally and confidant will likely last at least two weeks.

Still unresolved from Thursday's hearing is whether, and how, Jackson will punish Stone for his latest controversy: the re-release of a book, which contains a new introduction that criticizes Mueller as “crooked.” Jackson is mulling whether that book and introduction violate a gag order she previously placed in the case. The judge indicated Thursday she has not yet perused his lawyers' court submission on the book, but if she finds Stone violated his gag order, she could potentially revoke or modify his bond conditions.

>> When will Michael Flynn be sentenced? That's still unclear. Flynn's attorneys asked a federal judge for more time before he's sentenced, according to a Tuesday status report. They're asking for a delay in case Flynn can provide any “additional cooperation” in a related case in the Eastern District of Virginia that centers around his former business associate Bijan Rafiekian and his lobbying work for Turkey. Prosecutors say Flynn's cooperation is complete.

Last December, Judge Emmet Sullivan in D.C. agreed to postpone Flynn's sentencing after lawyers for the former Trump National security adviser took up the judge's offer to give Flynn more time to cooperate with the government. Sullivan on Thursday set a June 14 deadline for the parties to file another joint report.

>> Meanwhile: a top prosecutor from the special counsel's office, Andrew Weissmann, will soon leave Mueller's team, NPR reported Thursday. Weissmann was a senior prosecutor for Mueller, most notably for his role in the Manafort prosecution, and his involvement in the related cases of Manafort's ex-associate Konstantin Kilimnik and former Trump deputy campaign manager Richard Gates. (A status report for Gates is expected today.)

Weissmann's is the latest, and perhaps the most high-profile exit in a recent spate of departures, fueling more speculation that Mueller's probe is winding down. Mueller's office has also shared much of its workload with other federal prosecutor offices. (Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington, D.C., are involved, for example, in two cases still awaiting trial: Stone's criminal case, and the case involving Concord Management and Consulting.)

So, all in all, it was a wild week folks, and it could get even crazier.

If there's one takeaway that we could offer: a sentencing for a key defendant and a looming one for another, and the exit of a top prosecutor, all tell the tale of a near-complete Mueller probe.
