this is really good news for a lot of people around donald trump. donald trump junior, jared kushner, jerome corsi, the writer who had a draft indictment presented to him by mueller s office and they decided not to go forward with this. let s be fair here. there has been a lot of suspicion around certain people. a lot of negative things have been said. mueller has said, i am not proceeding. there is no better news to receive than you are not being indicted by the united states government. you once worked as a prosecutor. when the senior justice official tells laura the special counsel is not recommending any further indictments, can we conclude there have been no sealed indictments that would be unsealed at some point down the
i should say about whether we would see more, any superseding indictments. i m told no further recommendations of any indictments whatsoever. it s not as if when we see the conclusions that bill barr eventually submits to congress that we will see any mention of any recommendations of any indictments. i m told that s not happening. we can put to rest that speculation once and for all. that doesn t necessarily mean that other u.s. attorneys in the southern district of new york or the u.s. attorney here in washington, d.c. or northern virginia, they can pursue legal action? absolutely. we should make that point, there have been spinoffs from much of mueller s work. we have seen him farming out certain cases to the d.c. u.s. attorney s office, also the eastern district of virginia and, of course, the southern district of new york which is handling the michael cohen investigation. we have seen outputs from his investigation. but we are not going to receive
