1. Sealed indictments.

Does this mean they will very soon be unsealed? And specific people will be indicted/arrested/whatever?

Somehow the words "sealed indictments" are not giving me a lot of confidence here.

Normally the arrests occur soon after the indictments are handed down. But if a prosecutor has good reason not to, the court will allow it.

He was arrested on a bench warrant, then waived his right to a grand jury indictment when he pled guilty.

I heard there would be major action while Trump is out of the country.

Why do you think Mueller has been running this op like an anti-mafia case...because the Russian State (with Putin at its head) is basically an organized crime outfit; the same goes for Trumps businesses (and by proxy, how he ran his campaign).

The whole thing is about to come down. That's a lot of Sunshine for the Snowflakes who thought winter was gonna last forever.

Be ready. None of us have ever lived through something like this (because this will make Watergate look like somebody got a few littering tickets).

I read on another thread that the court had filed 60 sealed indictments year to date as of last week. This would be more than a 25% INCREASE IN A SINGLE DAY. That smells like Mueller to me....

Take 'em all down - they are all dirty but I won't be happy until the trial leads directly to the head Turd.

How many of you instantly knew who I was referring to when I said 'numbnuts'? All of you, I bet!

Trump has to be stewing in his own juices (not a pleasant thought) in Japan tonight. He can feel the noose tightening, and he knows Mueller is coming for him. He's just too vain to think Mueller has anything on him though, when in actuality he's the dirtiest of the bunch. Stew Donnie, STEW! I can hear his arteries hardening from here.

of the dump clan are there? Including spouses, excluding children, Melania, and Tiffany. Does the remaining number add up to 17 by any chance?

Just asking.

What is more foul than a republican traitor strutting around wearing a freaking "Made in China" flag lapel pin to pretend they give a shit about American democracy.

Remember, Mueller is a patriot first, and whatever you think of Trump, Mueller, an ex-marine, will not try to undercut the president while he is on foreign soil.

But, the Moron-in-Chief probably has a very nice welcome home gift waiting for him on Nov. 15.

It really does seem like the reports of Mueller wrapping up the investigation by Thanksgiving are true.

That Mueller will give the targets a chance to cooperate before revealing the indictments.

This is beginning to look big.
