Where's the Hacking Indictment?

“In the year since the start of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, one thing has been notably absent: a public indictment of any Russians for the hacking of the Democratic National Committee,” The Hill reports.

“Mueller has charged President Trump’s former campaign chief, secured guilty pleas from several individuals in Trump’s orbit and indicted 13 Russians for an elaborate plot to leverage social media to influence the American electorate.”

“But the special counsel has yet to announce charges for the hacking of the DNC, even though the intelligence community and private cybersecurity experts linked the attack to the Russian government more than a year ago. Legal experts say there are several possible explanations.”

1. I would say, the indictments and charges will be forth coming

Special Prosecutors do not rush blindly forward on anything they are setting up for prosecution and why leaks out mueller's camp have been nil

2. Where are all the indictments?

I'm getting impatient. Surely someone could be indicted by now? At least one! Why the delay?

3. There have been 19 indictments I know of, 5 guilty pleas, and there's a guy in prison.

A recent summary.

A year into investigation, special counsel shows no signs of letting up

8. Do you get your news from fox?

Otherwise you should already know about the indictments, guilty pleas, wire wearers. Perhaps read up on what Mueller has already accomplished before asking such questions.

9. luckily mueller's time schedule is for his benefit and not yours, ours or trump...

sometimes it takes YEARS to prepare the cases, especially when you going after the master mind (or mindless in this case)

6. Possibly under seal

If they have the Russian who did it identified an indictment, if it’s been obtained, is probably under seal.

That way they can keep connecting the dots to others without tipping them off.

Odds are that they will never get access to that person anyway, so the indictment is not really about prosecution of them but more about having that in hand to then move on down the chain to people you can lay hands on, so to speak.

7. What good will an indictment against a Russian do? No one's

going into Russia and arresting him.
