(115,732 posts)as an unindicted co-conspirator, and the current U.S. Attorney's Manual says: "In the absence of some significant justification, federal prosecutors generally should not identify unindicted co-conspirators in conspiracy indictments." It could happen but so far it hasn't, and if Mueller follows DoJ guidance it probably won't.

(115,732 posts)can't/shouldn't be indicted, of course Spanky isn't a target. A target is someone as to whom there is significant evidence of a crime and that they are a putative defendant. A person who can't be indicted can't be a putative defendant and therefore they can't be a target. So he could make that statement perfectly truthfully, and coincidentally maybe salvage his job, since Trump probably doesn't understand what any of this means.

(7,809 posts)That the more people he fires, the more he fusses, the guiltier he looks? It is also another example of him obstructing justice.
