various individuals from russian intelligence officers, 13 russian pra operatives and six advisers to the president. there are people around the president that have been indicted as part of the investigation. what s also important is in will be no further indictments coming out of this l. what means is, he didn t find anybody else he wanted to prosecute with respect to russian collusion or effects on the campaign. there are other investigations going on in the southern district of new york including investigation on the trump organization. the president is not scott-free. with respect to the mueller report as least, we know what bob mueller thinks is indictable. one last point. a lot of people discuss whether the president will be indicted. there s a long-standing practice of not indicting a president while he s sitting. we don t think bob mueller identified something where he wants to go down that road. he never interviewed the president even though he talked about potentially doing t
