What crime(s) will be charged?
Not being a lawyer, I'm not really clear on what potential crimes could be charged, but I really want it to be something SERIOUS -- not just a parking ticket, if you get my drift.
Is there any light anybody has or can shed on what the indictment might contain? Much obliged.

(102,225 posts)many potential crimes, the who and the what may tell a lot about the strategy. Is it just that one area is "wrapped up" enough to go ahead with charges, which may be something incidentally picked up on along the way unrelated to Russian collusion or involving the "higher ups", or is it a strategic attempt to earn cooperation for a much larger focus and against many others?
