In reply to the discussion: Breaking NYT - Prosecutor Bragg signals Criminal Charges for the Slobfather are likely [View all]Warpy
(114,035 posts)29. "SIGNALING" aint good enough for me
Yes, inviting (but not compelling) a target of an investigation to come in and explain himself is usually the final step before he gets the bad news, but this is a former president. An indictment can be handed down but put under seal, meaning nothing happens with it, no warrant, no perp walk, no trial, no jury, and certainly no conviction.
I don't know which prosecutor will finally hand down an unsealed indictment, but I strongly suspect it will be one who intends to retire.
I also think that once the first indictment drops, others will soon follow.
I hope I'm wrong about the sealed indictment, but Bragg doesn't strike me as courageous enough to take that final step and I know he's not planning to retire soon.
