The House investigations can now kick into full gear. Call Mueller to testify. Hold open hearings for these assholes.
Gates, Flynn, Stone, Kushner, Trump JR, Manafort, etc. Let the American people witness these fucking assholes testify under oath.
Like Jill Wine Banks said, open hearings are the key. They were key during Watergate. The American people got to see all the players answer questions under oath. It's how we learned about the tapes.

(6,254 posts)held accountable. The right wing media will spin Muellers report so that no Congressional investigations can penetrate. The media got us again. Fool me once, Hillary will be elected, shame on you; Fool me twice, Mueller will hold Trump and company accountable, shame on me. We are going to look like the raving fools that the righties say we are. I am so disgusted I m beside myself. Clinton is impeached and Ken Starr orchestrated it going public at every stage. Fuck Mueller, had he been investigating a Democratic president nothing would be off the table. WE HAVE BEEN HAD!!

Rhysem.
There is no real "rule" here. The closest parallel is probably a RICO case. The main use of sealed indictments is to protect witnesses and victim identities. However, as in this case, they can also be used to manage complex cases where evidence used to obtain one indictment would necessarily alert other targets of the investigation. It's really less akin to chess and more like dodge ball. If you only have one ball, you can usually only hit one person. Holding back multiple sealed indictments would be equivalent to saving up a rack of balls and throwing them all at once to hit multiple targets

Then, they make the Dems look desperate in the process.
This will be quite interesting.
