Can Mueller hand down indictments over thanksgiving

[brettdale]

That would be a great thanksgiving day gift to the people of the USA.

1. I don't see why he couldn't, but he's not going to.

2. It's a federal holiday and the courts will be closed.

Grand juries, under the supervision of a federal judge, issue indictments, not Mueller. Prosecutors present evidence and the grand jury decides whether or not to indict. If they are off for the holiday, which they almost certainly will be, they won't be issuing indictments.

3. Yup... Monday the earliest (likely) day, IMO

His office already has a Monday deadline for Gates' sentencing response, so....

7. Thank's for the reminder! Then it's Flynn in mid-december...

Sounds like activity is about to increase after the latest quiet period. Then there’s the shitstorm of congressional investigations starting in January.

5. Indictments also go well with turkey sandwiches, leftover pie, turkey soup, yada yada

6. Yes; I can imagine enjoying a turkey sandwich and some leftover pie

while watching TV as the indictments come in next week... I hope.

4. Unlikely. Trump says his lawyers have his answers to Mueller's questions

and might turn them over as early as today. Mueller’s team will need time to review, I presume.

Little activity at the courthouse, according to one twitter user. He later found one camerawoman who also believes nothing happening this week.
