Robert Mueller’s new Trump-Russia indictments reveal a lot about who’s getting arrested next

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller just indicted a dozen Russian government spies who will never be arrested or extradited, will never cut plea deals, and will never stand trial. So what was the point? On some level, this was a warning shot to anyone who might try to rig our elections in the future: we may not be able to arrest these guys, but the next hackers might not be so lucky. However, on a legal level, there’s far more to this. In fact it tells us a lot about who is going to be arrested next.

In order to indict and convict Americans for participating in a Russian criminal conspiracy, the first step is to establish that Russian criminal conspiracy. That’s what these indictments do: it was a crime for the Russian government spies to hack into the DNC and steal secrets and strategically spread them around, therefore it was a crime to receive those stolen secrets. This is going to go way beyond just Roger Stone.

The indictments accuse Stone, WikiLeaks, and an unidentified 2016 congressional candidate of having gotten those emails from the Russian government hackers. So you can expect them to be indicted. In fact Mueller has already hauled so many Stone associates before the grand jury, there’s no question Stone will be indicted and arrested soon. But then we get to the people they passed the stolen emails along to.

Roger Stone told CNN last night that his only contact in the Trump campaign was Donald Trump himself. Did he really just admit that he passed this info directly along to Trump? Should we believe him? Robert Mueller will follow the evidence trail and figure it out. Multiple members of the Trump regime are confirmed to have been in contact with WikiLeaks as well. We’re soon going to see indictments against the people in Trump’s inner circle who were in on this – and that’ll include some big names.
