    I've had similar thought but no Russians you can arrest -- they either have diplo or are out of the country.https://twitter.com/rgoodlaw/status/924796774367326208 …

        Oh sure. But these days RU has their own fake indictments for anyone they sort of like traveling outside the country.

        People forget that Nikulin has claimed--and it's not entirely nuts either--FBI told him they want him in part for DNC.

        Felix Sater seems like a good target. IIRC, he was involved in the shady Moscow tower deal and he's already cooperated with DOJ in the past.

        Marcy, if an oligarch, for example, was indicted here--arrested or no--would they be subject to asset forfeiture? Hear Sessions loves that.

        Would it make a difference that they can’t be arrested? If they fled the US it just makes them look more guilty.

        Replying to @sponson @emptywheel

        Can be indicted whether they fled/never set foot here I think. Maybe asset forfeiture? No perp walk, but some protection for Mueller.

        If Russians are indicted with details for crimes, it ends the claim of a ‘witch hunt’ whether they get arrested or not

        How about the possibility of arresting Rinat Akhmetshin, the fmr Russian intelligence officer (now US citizen) at Trump Tower mtg w Don Jr?

        Possible. Unclear what you'd indict him for. Plus he was called in as witness already.

        We really need to figure out how to limit the impact of the inevitable. This isn’t the last time Russia will involve itself with US affairs.
