Durham Indictments By Labor Day?

That's what John Solomon told Lou Dobbs. Here's the relevant part via Red State:

Solomon told Fox Business’ Lou Dobbs Tuesday that he’s seeing activity from DOJ that indicates Durham’s investigative team “is trying to bring those first indictments, and I would look for a time around Labor Day to see the first sort of action by the Justice Department.” 
Solomon said he is hearing from defense lawyers and people “on the prosecution side” that complications with the coronavirus pandemic are “slowing down” the grand jury process. 
“But everything I’m seeing on the ground, real reporting, suggests that there’s an ongoing criminal investigation intent on bringing indictments and possibly some plea bargains. The first action, the first evidence of it in the public will probably be around Labor Day. That’s an awful long time to wait, but I do see activity that looks like they’re building a criminal case right now,” he said. 
There’s a chance, he noted, that the flurry of activity will be a lot of sound and fury that ultimately signifies nothing, but he’s aware of “a lot of activity consistent with building prosecutions and preparing for criminal plea bargains.”

I can't say I have a lot of confidence in Solomon's predictions. Nevertheless, this is the best we have for now. Except for AG Barr's earlier statement about developments before the end of summer.

  1. Indictments are needed as a symbol that the DOJ is not politicized.

    Timing is a huge can of worms.

  2. 1. Solomon's accuracy has been pretty good from the very beginning of the Russia Collusion Hoax. He and Sara Carter were among the very first reporters to break the story of where this was going to lead, way back in early 2017.

    2. In his interview with Lou Dobbs, he made another tantalizing prediction: we will be learning more revelations about Stephan Halper "very soon."

  3. 3. note the tantalizing phrasing Solomon uses: "... bring those FIRST indictments..." This implies multiple indictments in the initial prosecutorial phase, and also implies there could be more later.

    1. It would make sense that to roll up a large operation, one would have to first get some indictments and plea agreements for testimony before prosecuting some others. Barr did say he anticipated the potential need to go beyond the election date.

  4. No matter what the indictments will be considered political. All the atrocities foisted on Flynn that have been exposed and STILL the dropping of charges have been reported as political

  5. Of course the indictments will be considered political, as is anything which seen as beneficial to DJT.
    The fate of the Republic hinges largely on, how many folks (esp. among GOPe) still give cred to the MSM, despite its incessant, systematic bias for the Dems?
    Barr should do his duty, ignore those brats, and count on the American people.
    It may help, that some liberals are starting to show that they've *had it* with the Left, if the Harpers' letter is any indication.

    1. I have a feeling that the bias of the MSM is more systemic than systematic.

    2. If by that you mean, "under the boot of the DS", I buy it.
