What about it necessitates any further indictments?

Clinesmith's defense is that it was an accident. Everyone else above him on the food chain now has plausible deniability. They were just relying on Clinesmith's documents and we're deceived, they'll say.

The forest is that due to Clinesmith's plea deal, all of his co-conspirators can now point to his testimony and say it wasn't their fault, they were just acting according to the best knowledge they had of the situation, and they had no way of knowing it was false.

This is all bullshit of course, but he's their patsy and so far it is a perfect setup to protect Obama and the rest.

I understand everything perfectly well, including the notion that this doesn't have to lead anywhere. Of course he didn't operate in a vacuum. the Awan Brothers didn't either.

Exactly. Further indictments mean they're working up the chain to ringleaders.

What further indictments have there been in four years? Oh, Roger Stone and another Trump campaign manager.

Just learning that justice turns extremely slowly and that's part of the problem?
