JimH52: that is just plain silly...
We will find out....many legal opinions say Mueller has more than enough evidence for OOJ.
I'm not a lawyer so I don't have a legal opinion but here's my illegal one. We, (all Americans) heard Trump say that he fired Comey to obstruct the Mueller and congressional investigations. We heard and saw him say that to Lester Holt on Nat'l TV, did we not? We know he also ordered the firing of Mueller last summer. We've seen a plethora of attacks on ANYONE who may bring the inner workings of the Trump campaign to light, did we not? We've seen and heard Trump order Bannon not to answer questions by Inv. committees. Those are just the ones that are in the top 100 with a bullet.
There either is a law against lying to congress or to the FBI or their isn't. There is. Trump and company can play these games for just so long til we say So Long. I think that the indictment of Gates is far and away the most important news on the Mueller front so far.
Unlike Manafort, he stayed with the Campaign til the bitter end and through the inauguration and beyond. He knows everything that Manafort does and everything he doesn't. Can the plea bargain of Manafort be far behind? No way. But that would only serve to corroborate part of Gate's testimony.
My guess is that Mueller already has everything he needs to proceed with the remainder of the indictments but is being as thorough as he can to negate wiggle room. these folks are toast. And if I was a betting man I'd say Trump will run away and all those who he pardons of federal charges will be hit with State charges that they can't get out from under.
There will be jail time for a LOT of them and after November Russia will get what they deserve also.
