Indictment-O-Rama Megathread: Mueller indicts 13 Russians

[NewYorkExpress]

I haven't been following this closely, but do we know for sure whether these charges are for Trump or Clinton officials?

One, you mean Obama officials. Hillary may have been running the State Department, but they still reported to Obama...and two, while it's possible I doubt it. They're also likely not current Trump officials. I'd guess Manafort and Flynn. If current Trump administration officials are being indicted, I'd guess Conway, Zinke and Sessions (the middle one being unlikely, simply because the scandal just broke).

Let's take a moment to consider how awful this is.  The incoming National Security Adviser was allegedly plotting an illegal kidnapping and rendition to a foreign power.

At some point the number of horrible things that will come out about Flynn will outweigh the dangerous, illegal things Trump is doing.

I read this as their admission that he's guilty of obstruction (in addition to collusion). Now they're just trying to limit the damage.

Someone remind me, please - how well did "it's not illegal if the President does it" work for Nixon?

Forget obstruction and collusion charges. I want Treason charges filed against President Trump. He gave aid and comfort to Russia, an enemy of the United States. That's the textbook definition of treason.
