Interesting.

We know three of the seven charges. Why not the other four? I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Is it something big?
Why tell us three and not the other four?
Even the bloated ex isn't taking about it.

If there are RICO charges, that means others will be charged and maybe it's also buying some time to be ready for those to be issued.

Maybe.

For instance, he has committed obstruction of justice more than once. Each time he did so is one count.

Although it's not clear if that is against Trump or against someone else (a co-conspirator? )

Perhaps when the other people are named/charged we'll get the full picture and know all the charges. Until then - possibly - the prosecutors are keeping their cards close to the vest? Just a thought...

I certainly look forward to that! We'll learn many more details through a speaking indictment.
