'We're on indictment watch': MSNBC analyst drops bad news for Trump as grand jury reconvenes
According to MSNBC analyst Ken Dilanian, the fact that the grand jury convened by special counsel Jack Smith will reportedly reconvene this week after weeks of new revelations about Donald Trump's mishandling of documents should have everyone watching for possible indictments sooner than later.
Appearing on "Morning Joe," Dilanian put the MSNBC panel and Donald Trump on notice that "we're on indictment watch."
The NBC report from over the weekend stated, "Prosecutors working for special counsel Jack Smith have been presenting the grand jury with evidence and witness testimony for months, but activity appeared to have slowed in recent weeks based on observations at the courthouse and sources. It’s unclear whether prosecutors are prepared to seek an indictment at this point."
Pressed for what to expect, Dilanian told the hosts that there is an outside possibility of indictments coming sooner rather than later.

"Frankly, we're on indictment watch here," he confessed. " I mean, we don't know what's going to happen but one possibility is on Wednesday the grand jury votes on whether to indict this case."
"We know the saying that prosecutors could convince a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich so that's one of the possibilities," he continued. "It's also possible they're interviewing some final witnesses in this case."
He then explained, "It was interesting to hear, again, Trump's former lawyer not really mounting a defense on the facts on 'Meet the Press' but really talking about how there's problems bringing the case because there may be too many classified documents that prosecutors don't want to put in public, which is a real concern in obviously in all cases involving classified documents you know. And suggesting there are issues with whether the president could declassify these documents but not suggesting that the president didn't have classified documents that he wasn't supposed to have."
