With Mueller "almost done".. What about Don Jr., Kushner, Ivanka and others that...

have not been charged with anything by Mueller?? Sure looks like more and more they were involved in some sort of illegal actions along with Trump.. Am I just getting a little paranoid that they are going to get away with crimes committed against the U.S.A.? I keep waiting for someone close to trump family getting indicted.. but nothing??? What a mess the country is in!!!

2. Maybe they would be charged by the regular US attorneys.

Remember Cohen was first charged by the Southern District of New York.

it is certainly possible that mueller has been saving all the goodies for the end, to reduce the chance of donnie interfering further by pardoning his inner circle/family/himself. that might have been more likely had the indictments come incrementally.

so it's possible that the "final" round of indictments his all the major players at once.


on the other hand, it's also possible that for one reason or another, none of these people get indicted, and all we have is a damning report, and it's left to our dysfunctional politics and media to sort it out. fitzmas all over again.


surely there will be more indictments, but perhaps only more on manafort and russians.

we'll have to wait and see.

though i don't think we know for sure if these are mueller's.

i don't know enough about sealed indictment; i wonder if a prosecutor could leave it sealed and not notify the target indefinitely. i would think that would have 6th amendment problems.

and if the target already knows, then we're back to the concern about donnie pardoning everyone.

Why do you think he is almost finished? Any suggestions of Mueller's timetable don't come from his office and should be suspect.

8. He HAS to time any of those additional indictments carefully. I'd guess literally at the same time

as any released report so as to avoid a volcanic eruption that attempts to derail the process.

with Rod Rosenstein setting to leave after the report.. (which we all hope to see…) it feels like Mueller's job was near done.. I guess I am just too impatient.. and it feels like another long year ahead waiting for justice to catch up with possible crimes committed in the Trump family.. I really want to see some of them go to jail if they committed crimes.. like now.. LOL!
