[quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of yak-yak here (and in the media) about whether Trump is somehow shielded from indictment, either as a legal or a practical matter, and about how Mueller will proceed.  No one knows for sure.

But it's crystal clear that there are lots surrounding people who also played a role in these activities, who took actions on behalf of Trump, and who likely committed crimes: Don Jr, Jared, Sessions, Kelly, and plenty of lower level people whose names we rarely hear.  Those people are all subject to indictment, and they've got no argument that they're protected from indictment by the inherent constitutional powers of the Presidency.

We all assume Mueller's prime target is Trump.  But Trump might be just another unindicted co-conspirator named in the indictments of all the other people who are working around him.  In the Watergate scandal, we all remember that Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment. But it's important to also remember that FORTY other government officials were indicted and/or jailed as a result of Watergate.

Maybe Trump will go down, or maybe he'll somehow wriggle his way out of this mess.  But there are dozens of other people around him who are in serious legal jeopardy.[/quote]
