From the original CNN article:
It says nothing about a DOJ source. CNN has been getting these leaks from the White House. They're trying to control the narrative, and they're doing an awful job.

This is a fair take but at the end of the day, it is Trump's DOJ. I'd take anything that comes out of it with a grain of salt. Technically Matt Whitaker could be a source close to Rosenstein.
Phone calls would be the cherry on top of butter emails.
This whole thing right now is a mix of a non-event and also pretty crazy. It doesnt seem to change much since the initial story was 'as early as next week' basically saying its close now but may not be next week. But its crazy because there is such frequent back and forth from sources contradicting each other that it seems to lend more credibility that these guys really are guilty as fuck since they are playing narrative games for pr. Maybe they see this as a way to get people more impatient and demand the investigation end?
Not letting myself get hyped again unless it's an actual announcement from Mueller's team or the DOJ.
I mean, that article doesn't say it's a White House source either. It is clear, perhaps not from that article but there have been others, that some of this "Mueller is expected to wrap up soon" recent spate of reporting comes from DOJ sources.
Oh, so this is a case of 'it was coming but now its not cause Trumpy has a trip for PR to make news'
I feel like the denials are always credited to the DOJ, whereas confirmations that it's wrapping up are always "people who know," which would include Giuliani, since he's not technically White House staff.

The CNN story in this thread seems to imply that the reason it is not coming next week is for that purpose, though.
Seems like that's just more speculation. The report goes to AG Barr, who writes his own report / statement. There's no reason for the SCO to care about Donald's travel plans.
Before the midterms, there was similar speculation about how Mueller is holding back on the release report until after the midterms or whatever.
To be fair, you don't write that unless you think next week is a very strong possibility. Otherwise you're just saying, "report coming at some point in the future."
To make people expect that it should be out by now, giving credence to the claim that it's gone on long enough.
Maybe it was within the realm of possibility at the time. But you're right, the headline was just meant to say it's coming soon, but that's so vague it's basically unverifiable.
The writers seem to be rehashing the same idea over and over
It'll happen when it happens. I feel like they are keeping tight wraps around this since the media will report every little thing.
From another thread, apparently this happened several months ago, but it just came out recently?
Anyway, the claims that this latest news came from Rudy are wrong - wasn't it mostly based on the activities CNN was witnessing around the investigation? Moving boxes out, not seating the grand jury for a month, etc.? The "I told you so" posts in here are so grating.
They just interviewed the SECOND person from Cambridge Analytica.
They're giving the report back to Comey, who everyone wanted to develop it in the first place, but he was busy working on Star Fox Grand PrEmails.
There are so many threads yet to be addressed that it seemed weird to me that it would end by next week unless they planned on indicting like ten people that same day.
