Q
We see all, we hear all.
Lest I remind you there are currently about 12,000 sealed indictments, when there are usually only 1,000!
See, I don’t have near the issue with that tidbit as I probably should - the key word in your statement (to me) is “legal”.
You’re right.

Where did you get that ............ Conservative Treehouse or elsewhere?
We could stop all illegal aliens tomorrow and the ultimate result would be the same if legal immigration is not drastically reduced. Legal immigration is destroying this country.
Hell yes that includes Lankford. Sorry to see Tom Cotton mentioned in the same sentence with him though; I’ve always had a better opinion of him than that.
The Senate has become our very own House of Lords.
OK, many thanks for the info!
We’re some of those caucus members also.on the Intel committee?
Coorrection on previous post; the caucus was in the House & this Intel committee is in the Senate...
I was looking to see if there was any connection to the Awan Bros.
Little Marco has resurfaced to join Burr in covering for Warner. Rubio remains a treacherous little slime.

The number may be higher now, maybe 16,000. There is some disagreement as to the exact number because some could contain multiple indictments.
We should know soon. google works

None of us know how many indictments are being wrapped up.
The findings of Grand Juries are kept secret until the Grand Jury is ready to release the indictments to media and others.
Grand jury proceedings are much more relaxed than normal court room proceedings. There is no judge present and frequently there are no lawyers except for the prosecutor. The prosecutor will explain the law to the jury and work with them to gather evidence and hear testimony. Under normal courtroom rules of evidence, exhibits and other testimony must adhere to strict rules before admission. However, a grand jury has broad power to see and hear almost anything they would like.
However, unlike the vast majority of trials, grand jury proceedings are kept in strict confidence. This serves two purposes:
1. It encourages witnesses to speak freely and without fear of retaliation.
2. It protects the potential defendant's reputation in case the jury does not decide to indict.

The people throwing hand grenades at Sessions and his people, have zero knowledge of what is being done.
