It’s been a given, even reportedly by Manafort’s lawyers, that he is going to be indicted. But Politico reported on Tuesday that an indictment is “virtually certain” against Mike Flynn, too.

“Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort are almost sure to be indicted as a result of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election,” Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal told Politico.

“I’m about 99 percent sure there will be some criminal charges from this investigation,” said Blumenthal, who is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, he is less certain, according to Politico, that Trump will face charges as a result of Mueller’s investigation.

Ranking Member of the Senate Intelligence Committee Sen. Mark Warner told CNN’s Brian Stelter that the “million-dollar question” is how the Russians knew who to target on Facebook with ads, and that there seems to be an awful lot of connections between the Russians and the Trump campaign, which suggests that collusion is on the table.
