How many people do you think will be indicted?

I believe a lot of americans have no idea whats heading our way. The shit is going to hit the fan when the investigation ends. I am no lawyer but I think its fair to say these people will be indicted.

Manafort. When the FBI raids your home you are pretty much screwed.

Flynn. This guy was a general? What an idiot. He is looking at a long prison sentence.

Flynns son. He worked for dad. Oops!

Trumps son in law. Pretty boy will make a model prisoner. Any lawyers here, I was wondering if you can be charged with multiple counts when you lie on top secret security clearance or is it considered just one count. Can you be charged for each lie?

The confederate Attorney General. I watched him commit perjury on live TV.

I think its fair to say people who worked or had close ties to the people listed above could also be indicted. We could be looking at dozens of people being indicted.

There are a couple of big questions that will need to be answered. Will people make deals to save their ass and how will Trump react when the shit hits the fan. Will he pardon people and set off a constitutional crisis?

indicted a few.

sent to jail one or two low level flunkies who were instructed to fall on their respective swords.

we don't hold our "elected" officials accountable in this country.

and if we do, they are then pardoned.

on if, when, or where the Mueller and Schneiderman investigations come together.

Possibly tying the two would ultimately be a perfect storm in which NY would take the aspects as it related to possible money laundering and RICO.

I think alot of just might depend on how many people associated with the Trump campaign were also involved in any state issues.

You don't think they will be charged? We shall find out. I think they are going down hard. If Trump tries to pardon them that could make things much worse.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kelly Ann Conway, and Louise Linton (wife of SOT) not because they may have committed crimes but because they are so annoying
