A multi-front battle coming just behind Mueller report

Elie Honig, a former federal and state prosecutor, is a CNN legal analyst and a Rutgers University scholar. The views expressed in this commentary are his own. View more opinion articles on CNN.

Strap in. Elie HonigHere are six key questions to watch: 1. What will Mueller say?The special counsel regulations require that Mueller file with the attorney general"a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel." This provision gives Mueller broad discretion. At one extreme, he might do as little as list everyone he has charged -- Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Roger Stone, etc.

Erin Burnett: There was a rare sighting of Mueller 02:20If Trump does assert executive privilege, will anybody object? Will Barr agree with the executive privilege claims and simply omit or redact any disputed materials from Mueller's report? Or will Barr push back if he believes Trump has asserted executive privilege too broadly? If Barr resists, then we could end up before the courts.

eliehonig Opinion CNN is still desperately holding on to the Mueller report.

eliehonig Opinion 'Executive privilege, the court held, protects sensitive national security and military secrets, but is not a blanket protection for the president against criminal charges. Nixon resigned 16 days after the court's decision.'
