NBC News is reporting that the first indictment generated by the Grand Jury attached to the investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller will be delivered on Monday. Still not clear: Just who is getting this indictment or what charges are attached.
The indictment, first reported by CNN, could be for any of the figures that have featured prominently in the investigation into connections between the Trump Campaign and Russian government officials. However, since Mueller’s team is empowered to also bring to light other crimes uncovered during their investigation, this indictment could be on a number of topics. Money laundering by Michael Cohen. Illegal work as a foreign agent by Michael Flynn. Illegal work as a foreign agent by Paul Manafort. Money laundering by Donald Jr and Ivanka. Money laundering by Jared Kushner. And of course, there are the popular choices of money laundering by Donald Trump, obstruction of justice by Donald Trump, or conspiring with a foreign power to interfere in a federal election by any or all of the above. The target of this first indictment could also be a surprise—someone with a low profile in the news, but who Mueller feels is a flight risk.
Of course, Sarah Huckabee Sanders has her own vote.

The evidence Clinton campaign, DNC & Russia colluded to influence the election is indisputable
The desperation of the last week, in which every arm of the Republican machine has worked overtime to try and generate a Clinton scandal about something, anything, is the best indicator that Mueller’s first golden ticket could be a big one.
