Grand juries don't convict. But yes, there's the old "I can indict a ham sandwich" line. Even so, the process still takes time, and even then, you don't get an indictment unless you think you've got a case you can win. What evidence does DOJ have at the moment?

Only the DOJ knows the answer to that.

I find indictments fascinating, in part, because they pull back the curtain on what is frequently an impressive investigation and body of evidence.
