obstruction of justice questions. Either they have the evidence of they don't.

They may not have everything but they're probably well along in collusion and money laundering and maybe tax issues.

We've already seen indictments. There have been reports - not in the mainstream - of sealed indictments against Trump going back months ago - some that happened at a state level.

I agree that some of the tentacles might go on for years but when I reflect on Watergate, they seem to be much further along with massive amounts of more evidence. The scrutiny on this thing is way more than Woodward & Bernstein.

Talking to Trump now reinforces they're at the end of some of those tentacles.

So it wouldn't shock me if part of this came out in the relative near future.
