Report: Grand Juries underway on multiple Trump-Russia conspirators, indictments expected
Apr 29, 2017
The old adage is that a prosecutor can convince a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, and it holds true for reason: indictments only require the demonstration of a valid case. And based on new inside sourcing, multiple indictments are forthcoming in Donald Trump’s Russia scandal, at least one of them soon, because the juries are already underway.
The revelation comes from Washington insider Claude Taylor, who served in the the Bill Clinton administration. He says that according to his inside source, two grand juries are in progress in the Trump-Russia scandal, with one of them “almost complete” (
).
So what now?
It’s not clear who has initially been targeted, though they’re likely to be proverbial smaller sized fish who can be persuaded to provide damning evidence and testimony against a bigger fish in return for leniency. The end goal of the investigation is ostensibly to get to Donald Trump himself, being the biggest fish in the scandal.
Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn failed to register as a foreign agent at the time he was taking payments from intermediaries of the governments of Russia and Turkey. Trump’s former campaign manager is Paul Manafort is accused of having taken tens of millions of dollars from a pro-Kremlin benefactor in similar fashion. Trump’s former campaign adviser Roger Stone has admitted to contact with the Russian hacker who stole emails from Trump’s election opposition. Carter Page is alleged in a number of Russia-related incidents.
So take your pick as to whom the targets of these two initial Trump-Russia grand juries might be. But with one of them near completion, and indictments more or less automatic, we should begin finding out soon. Will the FBI have the two indicted individuals arrested in a public spectacle in order to pressure them to flip more quickly?
