I'm so tired of being disappointed. And I am so angry at the fact that these evil, corrupt bastards seem to get away with everything and nothing ever seems to stick to them.

Of something or other, not an indictment, perhaps a subpoena, or the announcement that Mazar’s has finally complied with the old subpoena.

Not holding my breath for an indictment.

I worry about Trump family 'friend', Cy Vance being anywhere near this case. Do not trust Vance.

It could be major and about Trump or it could be something else important that has nothing to do with him.

Material from Subpoenas have to be kept inviolate within the investigating unit.

If there were witnesses that they share like Cohen they could cooperate with depositions.

After there are public indictments they can freely meet for joint strategies especially on plea bargaining.

If they were doing a truly joint operation there would be a joint announcement.

That screams Trump. More likely to announce an action against Trump/Trump organization than an outcome such as an indictment. Just speculation.

And they complied a long time ago (a year or so ago).

So they've had plenty of time to put a case together.

Having said that, I haven't seen Trump's name mentioned in the announcement ...
