I hope Mueller is involving Schneiderman in some of these indictments.....

....because Trump is about to the pull the trigger on pardoning Manafort and Gates.

His presidency simply cannot survive if Manafort flips. Trump will risk any blowback from pardoning him.

Manafort flipping is an existential threat to Trump's presidency... so much so, that I believe Trump would resign from office within a month of Manafort flipping.

Manafort knows where all the "bodies are buried".

The pardon pen is being readied for use. Mueller better have a backup plan.

If he pardons them, then they can be compelled to tell the truth by Mueller and they cant use the fifth amendment since they can't be prosecuted any more. If they refuse, they can be jailed for it.

Robert Mueller is a professional.

Donald Trump is an idiot.

Do the arithmetic.

These indictments need to be completely bare of state charges so NYAG can charge.

And lo and behold, they are.
