The Secret Correspondence Between Donald Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks
The Atlantic writes:
The transparency organization asked the president's son for his cooperation—in sharing its work, in contesting the results of the election, and in arranging for Julian Assange to be Australia's ambassador to the United States.
[...] The messages, obtained by The Atlantic, were also turned over by Trump Jr.'s lawyers to congressional investigators. They are part of a long—and largely one-sided—correspondence between WikiLeaks and the president's son that continued until at least July 2017. The messages show WikiLeaks, a radical transparency organization that the American intelligence community believes was chosen by the Russian government to disseminate the information it had hacked, actively soliciting Trump Jr.'s cooperation. WikiLeaks made a series of increasingly bold requests, including asking for Trump's tax returns, urging the Trump campaign on Election Day to reject the results of the election as rigged, and requesting that the president-elect tell Australia to appoint Julian Assange ambassador to the United States.
Its a quite long, but interesting article.
Kushner Failed to Hand Over Emails
Senators: Kushner Didn't Disclose Emails On WikiLeaks, 'Russian Overture'
Senior White House adviser and son-in-law to the president Jared Kushner failed to hand over to Senate investigators emails concerning contacts with WikiLeaks and a "Russian backdoor overture," according to a letter sent by two senior lawmakers.
The letter, released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and its ranking Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, says Kushner failed to turn over "September 2016 email communications to Mr. Kushner concerning WikiLeaks" and other emails pertaining to a "Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite."

Those indictments include Tony Podesta, brother of John Podesta and (until just recently) head of the Podesta Group. The Podesta Group does lobbying.
John Podesta, along with Robby Mook, ran the Hillary campaign.
In 2012-2014 the Podesta Group had a client that was a pro-Russia party in the Ukraine. Paul Manafort worked for the Podesta Group and ran that effort. Note that this is a time period before Donald Trump ran for president. It is also a time period in which Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State.
Paul Manafort got indicted for that time period. Robert Mueller also indicted Tony Podesta, due to violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act with his lobbiest work.
So yeah, there are indictments. We're now 1 or 2 steps away from the big fish, Hillary Clinton herself.

What do you think a conservative is? Do you think it means a globalist bribe-taker like many republicans (and democrats) in congress, or maybe a Bible-thumper who cares for nothing beyond abortion and gays? A conservative wants to conserve what we have or recover what we have lost. That starts with building a wall, stopping islamization, protecting free speech, protecting gun rights, and getting our workers working again. For a conservative, Trump is a dream come true. Conservatives loath Paul Ryan, Mich McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, John McCain, Jeb Bush, George Bush (both), Mitt Romney and all the others who have no intention to deliver greatness for America.

I won't engage with whatabouttery. You're welcome to log in if you want to continue, but if you're a Trump supporter you'll need to apologize first.

Not that whatabouttery is wrong (it is often a legit argument) but this isn't it.
Those ARE the indictments.
You said there were indictments. Yes. Yes, there are indictments. Robert Mueller has indicted people close to Hillary Clinton.
