Trump, Jr. to be indicted this week?

38. I would think it depends on what wrongdoing he finds.

If it's just lying on a form or 'inaccurate' testimony, then I would say it just becomes part of his final report. But if he finds something serious, like conspiracy with the Russians, or money laundering, I think he would indict and let the chips fall where they may.

He likely wouldn't indict without (what he feels like is) strong evidence, and I think he would feel compelled to either prosecute or refer serious crimes. In other words, I don't think he would fail to pursue serious crimes because of potential political ramifications. The justice system still has to do it's job even if the political system screws it up later.
