Some have forgotten, Mueller sent evidence of crimes he FOUND to SDNY.

Mueller FOUND evidence of crimes. He sent the evidence to New York prosecutors investigating the crimes committed in THEIR jurisdiction. Other US Attorneys are still working hot and heavy without any of the restrictions placed on Mueller. Mueller sent them the evidence of CRIMES he FOUND during his part of the investigation.

The report hasn’t been released yet, it would be a good idea to stop pretending you know there’s nothing damning in it.

So ..... those working hard to Pooh Pooh all of this as a defeat or embarrassment to Dems and an exoneration of Trump, you are just lying and spinning this report you still have not seen.

Please GFY.....gently......with a chainsaw.

It’s just beginning.

And those here spreading the despair propaganda don’t want us to remember these facts about the case.

process has been kicked over into other courts/jurisdictions I'd imagine (IMHO), and thus, other burners are burning bright and hot. I say this for I heard that Flynn, etc. were still involved in the process...

If a charge is brought by the New York State Attorney and found guilty by SDNY they can only be pardoned by the state governor.
That could be why he didn't bring more indictments.

Charges from State AG are tried in that state's courts.

SDNY is a federal, not state, prosecutor, and any charges filed by them are tried in federal courts.

Others remain under investigation in cases that Mr. Mueller’s office handed off to federal prosecutors in New York and elsewhere.

by so many here. It’s been obvious that Trump is in deep legal shit for decades of crimes for well over a year now.
