^ This idiot here thinks there has already been an indictment.But you cannot even form a GRAND JURY without THE INDICTING STATEMENT, CITATION OF US CODE SUPPORTING IT, and NAMING THE CRIME(S).Yes, Mueller has done. I am not making too much of it. Grand juries are as often as not used to subpoena information as anything else. I will make something of the grand jury handing down an indictment, or several of them.
The GRAND JURY THEN FINDS THE INDICTMENT TRUE or NOT TRUE
The mode of accusation is by a written statement in solemn form (indictment) describing the offense with proper accompaniments of time and circumstances, and certainty of act and person or by a mode less formal, which is usually the spontaneous act of the grand jury, called presentment. [5] No indictment or presentment can be made except by concurrence of at least twelve of the jurors. The grand jury may accuse upon their own knowledge, but it is generally done upon the testimony of witnesses under oath and other evidence heard before them. The proceedings of grand jury are, in the first instance, at the instigation of the government or other prosecutor, and ex parte and in secret deliberation. The accused has no knowledge nor right to interfere with their proceedings. [6]
If they find the accusation true, which is usually drawn up in form by the prosecutor or an officer of the court, they write upon the indictment the words "a true bill" which is signed by the foreman of the grand jury and presented to the court publicly in the presence of all the jurors. If the indictment is not proven to the satisfaction of the grand jury, the word "ignoramus" or "not a true bill" is written upon it by the grand jury, or by their foreman and then said to be ignored, and the accusation is dismissed as unfounded. If the grand jury returns an indictment as a true bill ("billa vera"), the indictment is said to be founded and party stand indicted, and required to be put upon trial. [7]

And here's a clue-by-four: I'm pretty damn sure Mueller knows what potential crimes have been committed, and the US Codes associated with it.
