I wouldn’t bet on these being the last charges. For one thing, the charges put considerable pressure on [Paul] Manafort and [Richard] Gates to cooperate with [Robert] Mueller and his team. [George] Papadopoulos may already be cooperating. And with or without any of that cooperation, the developments this morning suggest that the prosecutors and agents working on this case know what they are doing: They can follow money trails designed not to be followed, they can unravel complicated webs of deceit and collusion crossing international borders, and they can do this relatively rapidly.

—David Sklansky, Stanford Law School professor, tells Politico the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller is far from over. The article also notes other experts who agree there will be more twists and turns before we hear the last from Mueller, such as Paul Rosenzweig, former deputy assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, who said, “[T]his is just the bottom of the second inning in a long game.”
