Yeah, no.
They always do this every month or so. Talking about how it's close to being completeted. In my opinion, it's to put some pressure on them when they're too close to something juicy.
What? No.
Rudy Giuliani LEAKS every month that the report is near complete, in order to breed restlessness.
This, however, is DIRECTLY from the guy who's looking over the investigation. And considering how many indictments/raids by Mueller have blindsided the White House, I don't think this Whitaker dude is willing to carry water for Trump. If he was willing to, he would be in Barr's position (going for actual confirmation of the role)
You guys need to chill. I don't see how this could be interpreted as bad news, other than paranoia
Edit: People who think Whitaker is still a puppet haven't been paying attention to how upset Trump has been with Whitaker's performance, and his hands off approach to the investigation.
Edit2: After seeing the updated video, it appears Whitaker's comments are purely based on supposition. So a whole lotta nothing. Lame.
